Public transport:
shockingly bad, both expensive and time consuming, our city is 5 towns, all of which link through one meaning any journey requires 2 buses and usually an hour or more all to travel around 4 miles. there is no tube/tram or other option
Jobs:
there just arent any
General life:
most major stores have given up on the city, the high streets are becoming increasingly filled with empty shops that serve the sole purpose of housing the staggering number of monkey dust addicts living in the doorways
this city is dying and at this point there is little that could be done to save it, we are the Detroit of the UK, once the centre of industry in the UK, manufacturing was revolutionised here, the place was so important its the only place in the UK that is a city without a cathedral (generally a city has to have a cathedral to be considered a city but it was given special status due to its industrial significance)
Lived in Stoke for around 8 months last year, moved from Stafford.
Stafford isn't the best place in the world, but I regret that decision so badly, moved to Brum recently and I couldn't be happier. Everyone here complains about it but I'm really enjoying not having to deal with Hanley or Shelton on the regular, still got friends up there so I'll go and visit occasionally but it's a horrible place to live in my experience.
Used to live in Hanley, just opposite the Emma Bridgewater place.
