Is it really that bad though? I've never been up that way. Must be some decent areas around it at least.

People often say similar about cardiff without ever being here probably, some areas of the city aren't great, same as any city but overall having lived in a few places around the UK I think its a great place to live with plenty to do relative to its size.
