People up north miss out on cheap day trips to France etc

nuttywoman

Its too far for us to travel & makes it a nightmare for us! We once went on a 3day coach trip to Paris and were in the coach from 4am until 9pm non stop.
If we went by train the fare would be too much, its not fair! :mad:
Sorry just having a moan!

You could fly, or move further south?

I can't really see your point, other than you don't like where you live?

It's not fair is it ?

I saw someone else complaining about rip-off Britain, because it takes us 10 hours to get to Jamaica,, whereas Americans get there in 3 !!

I think that it is about time that people stopped living up north. It's so far away from everything.

Too true! However, you also missed out on rip-off house prices, and so should have enough spare cash to take the train.

But to be fair, it's a lot cheaper and quicker for you to get to Hull, Middlesborough and Barrow, so it all evens out in the end

I live in northern ireland so have to pay out £300 to get the ferry over to wales!!! never mind drive down to Dover.

At least you get the chance to get a £9 room with Travelodge! They don't extend that offer to northern ireland! Cheek!

(I lived in London for most of my life and would never choose to move back there!):D so i will just have to book myself a cheap flight away. Thanks Ryanair!

But you can go on a day trip to Blackpool and be home in time for Newsnight, we can't.

Well, I am just lucky aren't I living down South You can enjoy Ryanair deals (unless you can't read and post about "RIP" off Ryanair) to go over to France/Germany etc anyway if you are "up North" can't you? I just have choice of Eurostar/Eurotunnel and the ferries as well (and I can see the sea state in advance courtesy of my local news) .
