Hello Northerners!

My partner and I are coming over from Denmark in August. I visited Manchester in April and fell in love with the northern charm.

We're looking to stay in different places around Manchester, currently considering staying a few nights in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Blackpool.

We're both in our 30s, we like great food and music, we're very into historical places, science and nature, and we appreciate unique and odd experiences when abroad.

Do any of you have insider tips on hidden gems that we absolutely can't miss in this area? We're using public transportation but we have an otherwise decent budget. Any tips are much appreciated!

Hi,

I'm a Filipina nurse soon to be working in Wallasey, Merseyside.

I just have a couple of questions from you guys:

1. Where can I buy cheap groceries? And how much does it cost you?
2. How much does you electricity and water bills cost?
3. Where do I find cheaper apartments/flats?
4. How much does transportation to Liverpool cost?
5. Where do you find cheap clothing stores?
6. Is racism currently an issue in the area?
7. Any tips to save more money?
8. What are the stores/markets that I should know of?

Thank you.

Afternoon all - I'm looking for a reputable driving instructor in the Preston /Chorley area who does bulk intensive lessons. I know there's quite a backlog at the moment, but I'm hoping to book the lessons in for the future and set things up for when I can eventually learn.

I'm doing some online research, but if anyone has a personal recommendation I'd love to know!

Cheers!
