a guide to uk cities for foreign people

tidalwavesoflove:

manchester: gays. you will probably get mugged, way better than london though, also known as madchester, because best nightlife and britpop

liverpool: like manchester, but less gay. you will definitely get mugged. notorious for stealing wheels

newcastle: probably quite good for canadians as exists in permafrost and has never left the 90s.

leeds: it’s a lot cheaper than london

bradford: leeds but awful

nottingham: gun death capital of the uk!

derby: intense rivalry with nottingham, literally no one else in the country or world gives any fucks about this.

hull: violently resist anyone who attempts to take you here

leicester: i’m not sure this is a real place

york: this is an illustration from the top of a christmas biscuit assortment

birmingham: NO.

brighton & hove: more gays. is only a pretend city. mild to moderate chance of mugging. contains some deeply annoying hippies. basically if san francisco was british.

portsmouth: there is literally nothing here.

southampton: exactly the same as portsmouth but smells of off milk

bristol: you have a 1 in 10 chance of ending up in a bbc recording. everyone sounds like a farmer or bob marley.

cardiff: you have a 1 in 5 chance of ending up in a bbc recording, and a 1 in 3 chance of being glassed.

plymouth: post apocalyptic wind tunnel full of drunk sailors pissing on depressed hookers. do not enter.

penzance: everyone here is from london now.

london: no one from london is actually from london and even breathing is expensive.

cambridge: windy and full of equal amounts of homeless drug addicts and public schoolboys. the junkies are nicer.

oxford: same number of cunts as cambridge but easier to escape from due to all-night bus to london

edinburgh: a goth turned into a city. basically london but slightly more scottish.

glasgow: it is impossible to tell whether people are angry or happy.

aberdeen: las vegas at the point when vegas starts crying uncontrollably

belfast: do not order “an irish car bomb” OR “a black and tan” here.

wolverhampton: really, really don’t.

norwich: count people’s fingers. mutations walk here.

coventry: like plymouth, bombed flat in ww2. like plymouth, failed to take the hint. like plymouth: do not alight here.

sheffield: everyone talks like sean bean or alex turner, still better than london
