Anyone know anything about this place. According to google maps its not too far from birmingham and I understand I am showing my complete ignorance here but does anyone live here of know much about it.
Reason being I have been offered a job here and want to know what the city is like.

Depends on your definition of not too far.... it is about 60 miles south of Brum - an hour down the M5.
Lovely part of the country. Lived near there for a few months (Forest of Dean).

Yeah had a quick look at that earlier. It seems a nice place but I was looking for a local's point of view.
Thanks mate

it's about half way between where I live (Somerset) and Birmingham. That's all I know 
oh and they have a fairly decent rugby team, although not as good as Bath

If it's only an hour, you should honestly go visit the city. Then ask all the locals you want and see for yourself. In the US an hour drive isn't much!

Wierd.
I live in Birmingham and THAT is a shithole.
Passing through Gloucester always looks very nice, peaceful and picturesque
My role on this forum is to break up the serious, educated and enlightening posts with random crap that amuses me in my sleep deprived state.

It is on the surrounding villages like Bourton On The Water, Stroud and the like, but Gloucester town centre ain't all that !!
