garinda - thanks for ur words - they're very noted.

i actually have more friends in london than i do up north which is strange considering i've never stayed there...

plus i have a sister, two brothers, an aunt and numerous cousins there. i will b hopefully staying with a mate who's a local to london. i just dont want to get to 50 and realised all i've saved in my life is £800. i dont know if i'll ever reach burn out i'm sure i will. but for the sake of my family and my daughter i realise i need to make a change and make it soon b4 time passes me by.

yeah i know all bout the illegal cabbies at nite. they've really clamped down on them. they get cops posing as clubbers etc. there will always b ppl willing to take the risk but work hard enough and there's a living there for anyone.

chav - i dont know bout u but i wudnt say no to a 40-50K a year even if it was in london - yeah i know what u mean by ambition - but who's to say there wont b other opportunities coming up?

i just feel really holed up and stifled employment wise here
