Living in Newcastle- Big decision!!?

Hi I mean have you tried going up to Newcastle to see what its like before you make such a big decision to move there you can take a day trip up there from London King Cross its always best to see what a place is like before you move. I have never been there been to Leeds its quite nice but you dont get such a mix of people all you see is english people, and its more boring then the south of england we have a saying its grim up north I think they say that coz there are a lot less jobs up there the majority of good jobs with high pay are in London.
