If only there some jobs up north.... Being originally from Cumbria, I
pretty much resigned myself to moving somewhere to find work. Having said
that, I did once see an advert for an Oracle DBA in one of the Cumbrian
local newspapers. Shame it paid about a quarter of what you'd expect to
get for a job like that. I know it's in theory cheaper to live there but
not that much cheaper.

Mmm, an Oracle DBA pulls what, forty-something in the provinces and a bit
more in London? How much *were* they offering, exactly?

Anyway, I wouldn't bother looking for jobs in Cumbria as there aren't any.
Manchester isn't *that* far away, and has a reasonably thriving IT scene.
They still talk funny there so you should feel right at home.
