Whats Carlisle like?
 

a friend of mine is planning to move there over the summer - to get away from glasgow where she currently is

and despite my best efforts to get her to come to accy she's moving to carlisle

any idea's of what this place is like?

size of town etc? from hte looks of it seems very similar to accy minus the charity shops

Quiet.

One good club.

Interbreeding is rife, and has been for centuries.

If she won't move to Accy, tell her to stay north of Hadrian's Wall in Glasgow.:D

Re: Whats Carlisle like?
 

*L* i wud but she's quite keen on not being scottish any more

she wants to rid herself of the curse...

whats the ethnic mix like there?

Re: Whats Carlisle like?
 

PMSL.

There is quite a few bloody foreigners living there already...meaning other Scots!

When I lived in Glasgow loads of people used to come up from Carlisle every weekend, because it is a bit like the back of beyond down there.

I wouldn't like to live there.

My friend moved up there to run a pub, but didnt last long (partly because a pub came up in Accy) but she always said she wasnt right keen.

Re: Whats Carlisle like?
 

Its all wrong, it's in Cumbria for staters!

Er...it's a joke.:rolleyes:

I've lived both in England and Scotland. I was just pointing out that compared to Carlisle, Glasgow is some sort of Promised Land.

i live just south of hadrians wall,ive lived in both scotland and england,and i like carlisle,but like all places it depends which area you live in

Re: Whats Carlisle like?
 

me son lived there for about 4 yrs, used to go up regular,its not a bad little city,some good pubs/eating places, think yer mate will like it. i certainly did.

and whats wrong with being scottish...??? and what the curse she wants to rod herself of ??

and moving 100 miles from glasgow isnt exactly getting away from all things scottish....

if she doesnt like anything scottish then maybe she/them/he should go live on an inhabited island where there can be no complaints...
