Also the place seems very insular to me, where I'm from in west yorkshire the towns and villages and cities all blend into one another; York has this big glut of countryside around it so a lot of people I've met here are all about who you know in york and which school you went to and all that social stuff which I'm not part of. Plus there seems to be a ridiculous concentration of absolute utter nob-heads. Possibly down to the student community?

Yeah I can certainly appreciate some of those comments above. I have always said York is like a big village, where groups of friends have gown up together from their school days and I can imagine this makes it difficult for people moving into the area. I suppose it is this forum and motorbikes that have driven me out of my cocoon in York, and I now have some great friends all over the country.
As for the nobheads comment, I can certainly appreciate that as I live in Acomb!
