Edinburgh is a fantastic city for students and the university’s are world class, it is also a very safe place.

Why I would be asking for advice from you lot I have no idea, but here goes; N01 daughter has been given the opportunity to study in the UK for 6 months next year at some point. We were hoping that Warwick was oing to be an option cos I have family not too far away which is always reassuring, but she has been offered Liverpool or Edinburgh, either of which I know vey little about having only visited either of them by boat for a 24h stopover. Anybody any toughts or suggestions?

You didn't consider Swansea then?

It’s a great city, cultural diversity, massive amount of history, great transport links, lots of green space, quality of life, access to the highlands. It’s a very compact city, population of about 600k, you get all the resources of a capital city while it remains affordable. I wasn’t planning on staying indefinitely but can’t imagine living anywhere else now.

Lots of small children and men that like to wear skirts probably

I'd say Liverpool every time......Liverpool and Swansea have always been very close due to football for about 50 years. I get on great with Scousers cos unlike most Northern types they're not miserable, boring fuckers. Always full of personality. Strong community spirit there too.....they hate the fucking Tories and The Sun, and ran that racist grifter Yaxley-Lennon and his gang of fascists out of the city. As far as Edinburgh goes..... @Buckster's there on his gay Harley isn't he?

No @Pedro , I admire his work as a motorcycle racer …. It’s his silly yellow pants flag waving fans that make me laugh… you got yellow pants on haven’t you

She doesnt, she's being treated like a queen, nice big strong women and guys named Juan, i doubt she wants to come home to be honest. And she gets oxy on demand, how cool is that.

Yes, they would get a KTM.

It’s telling that Zelensky has taken up arms with his people while Putin hides.

It's no choice for a sane person given a choice!

What a couple of boring resentful anti Rossi old bastards, you two are!

Twats

erm... the one place she doesn't want to go to learn English, is the US.

This place is 24/7 religion and politics.

Meanwhile...... Can we take our bikes with us?

Me and Mandi visited Edinburgh when touring on the bikes. It was pissing with rain all day but the people, mostly students were great. It was also tattoo week so real busy. Our water proofs were a good talking point. Lovely place.

I’ve been to Liverpool it’s full of loud fucking scousers , always shouting and swearing , nice city though and the best Football team in the world “you’ll never walk alone “

I stayed in Liverpool a couple of years ago and it’s nothing like it used to be in the 80/90’s . It’s a very vibrant and cultural place nowadays. Having said all that if it was my daughter I would pick Edinburgh, like Buck says it’s a very safe city .

wondering which of the two accents is easier to understand... probably Eninburgh too

What diving and perms

Best wishes to your mum @Tym

What you say Neil?
