Re: Living conditions ;O
Well I spent about 8 years in Manchester. It rains almost 24X7 especially in winter. Public Transport is pretty good (lived 6 years on it) , and its relatively cheap, if u buy a week pass or year pass. Insurance is pretty high, In 2009 i use to drive BMW 3 series (2002-3 Model) and i use to pay approx £3000 a year.
Manchester holds a big Pakistani community, areas such as longsight and rusholme are famous amongst pankistani families (you can get a good 2 bed flat or a small house for £700 to £800, excluding bills). I suggest you to stay away from stretford and wythenshawe areas.
