As, according to DC, I will speak to anyone, I have never lived anywhere where people are not friendly.

I'm was born in the East Midlands and still live there although a different bit. I think we are really friendly but I fit here. The village we have lived in for 30 years is fabulous.

I have in many places and haven’t found anywhere unfriendly but to be honest I find South Wales really friendly

I lived on the edge of the Cambridgeshire fens for forty years and they’re not the most welcoming souls. After a while you get used to their ‘chip on shoulder’ attitude but now I’ve returned to my roots in the south it’s lovely to be back amongst people who could well have swallowed a happy pill every morning such is the contrast.

The only unfriendly place I’ve lived in was Edinburgh, but it was a long time ago and of course, people’s circumstances differ. My resentment at having to move there from London probably showed.

I’ve visited many different locations in the UK.
People are people, good , bad, friendly , unfriendly , cheerful , miserable etc.
I have never found any one kind of personality in any particular place.

North-east England is certainly friendly - strangers at bus stops or doctors' waiting rooms will strike up conversations. Having said that, I've met friendly folk in shops in Letchworth and Orkney amongst other places.

glasgow is known as a friendly city, we talk to anybody, i had a few problems in nuneaton when visiting as i found a lot of people did not have very nice manners plus most people thought i was a geordie to which i said thanks but i am from glasgow. i have never lived outside of glasgow and i am 59.

I am very lucky, or perhaps very adaptable- but I've never lived in an unfriendly place.

Following on from yesterday's post about where do you live. Having had to move around the U.k quite a lot with DH's job I know which I found the friendliest and which was not.
Tyneside would get my vote for being extremely friendly.
The East Riding of Yorks not Hull City the most unfriendly .
If you have had to move quite a lot what would be your choices?
