It's different in different parts of the country. I used to live in Rotterdam. Sometimes I was the only guy speaking Dutch or ABN on the tram. People got shot dead in front of my eyes. I used to live in the shittiest grey harbour city of Holland.
Now I live 10 minutes away from the beach in a place with fucking palm trees believe it or not. The clubs and pubs are open 7 days a week and people are friendly. If I want to go shopping at 3am in the morning, I go to Tesco around the corner. It doesn't rain that much here because of a tropical sea wind or something.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere above London and my city isn't really a real representation of the UK but I must say, moving was the best thing I ever did. It just goes to show that the UK has many sides and it's not only the thing you see in movies with youngsters wearing trainers and tracksuits.
BTW You're more than welcome to visit.
