Down in dirty Leeds for eight weeks and I am struggling already in the first week. I need some help on survival tips from all ex pats living away from the bonnie homeland.

I find that if you lock yourself away with no tv, newspapers or radio and dont answer your door to anyone, the english are just about ok! If you run out of food, phone for a pizza and a bottle of coke as the delivery guys tend not to say anything anyway.

Leeds lassies are great fun and their favours cost little more than a half shandy and a kebab on the way home.

I was in Leeds a couple of weekends ago for a stag weekend - great nightlife!
Me and ma pals entertained a crowd of about 200 outside the Baja Beach Club by singing Loch Lomomd but they didn't seem pleased when we launched into Stand Up If You Hate E******d (couldnae resist it!)...

Cheers lads, should hopefully see out the eight weeks.
TA - have sampled the nightlife and our hotel is bang next door to the Beach Club. Off to Majestiks on Thursday for a bit of Woodgate spotting.

Tips to survive in England. I should know something about this. How about...act human and on a level ground. Try some Scottish superiority tricks and you'll not help yourself in the slightest.

Yeah, the English get intimidated by our cunning superiority tricks. My favourite is to look them square in the eye and say "Hi, how you doing?"
Scares the sh1t out of them!

Some people go down there with a pre-conception of what the English will be like and assure themselves that they don't like them. Narrow minded individuals, though.

Hey, DaPotta, you're absolutely right. But it works both ways. And as you say, it's the narrow-minded. But sometimes it's difficult to accept that your pre-conceived idea was wrong.

Well unfortunately wonderful multicultural London just feels a bit too much like a foreign country these days... so we tend to stick to what is still recognisably England.
