Gentlemanly trip up north

Sem · 10 Feb 2006 at 15:12

Me and my mates are from London and are planing a gentlemanly

trip "up north"

the purpose of the trip is to go clubbing in another town/area and maybe try our luck elsewhere

we are considering Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, Blackpool

which place would you say is best for a couple of Londoners

cheers

Better

My reply from last time still stands

philio16 · 10 Feb 2006 at 15:15

What type of clubs are you after?

Rich_L · 10 Feb 2006 at 15:15

Leeds has got crackin' birds from my experience of passing through the train station a few times...

Alternatively, for the price of a train ticket up north you could probably get to Talin or Prague and have a real gentlemans weekend

I've heard York is quite good for a night out - whether or not that's true, I'm not sure.

It's not that good that you need to quote yourself mate!

York is pretty good though, my sister in law is from there and she's a bit filthy.

ive also heard good things about Leeds

thanks for the suggestion will add it to do list

also would be from London cause us any aggro

obliviously we wont be walking around in Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs kits on

but for whatever reason my mate seems to think that we might be singled out and beaten up

any truth to that?

thanks

Newcastle! Something always going on every night, loads of bars and clubs. Plus the local women wear next to nothing even if it is -10

KaHn · 10 Feb 2006 at 15:26

Goto Newcastle!

That sounds like the winning destination

Not at all mate..
As with anywhere you go, walk into the wrong place and you'll have trouble but if your just sticking to the more popular pubs n clubs and don't wander far out of town you'll have no bother (usually)

Can't speak for it myself, but some work colleagues told me that on a trip to newcastle they saw numerous people having sex in back alleys behind clubs.

They came back with the motto "what happens in newcastle stays in newcastle" fair to say i think a few marraige vows were broken that night.

Still sounded like a laugh if you fancy meeting some loose women

If you want to go to a club, York sucks big time. Especially at weekends. If you want to go to pubs/bars then it's not too bad, plenty of em around!
