• Wow, I'm back in this thread after 7 years. I lived in Brighton for 3 years and moved to Berlin month after the Brexit vote came out. Lots of friends' tears at the time, I was quite bummed but at the same time happy to move to Berlin as the 'exit' was clearly a terrible decision for Britain and painted its future in grim tones.

    I remember a night around that time that there was some football cup too, I was working in a cinema and from basement club there was buch fans leaving, I think England lost that night, being out of tournament (?) and one guy shouted "England has to go out and do a reality check". Some prophet that man was.

  • Hope you have a good time there!

    Ironically this EU mainland furrin' is stuck in Norn Ire, ah well, aside from the politics there are worse places to be.

  • Oh yeah, actually already at the time I was surprised how ahead is Germany in sense of life quality. At the time I was working roughly half-time, drop-in drop-out from Deliveroo shifts whenever I wanted, cycling whole days, cracking beers with other rider and still quite comfortably supporting myself. I can't say that I struggled in Brighton, but there wasn't a chance to have a similar life if working same amount of hours.
