Moving into the middle of nowhere (England or Wales)?

Why Swedish? Christ i can't think of anything more boring. Every minute of every day must be planned in, every item of post must be categorized, colour coded and stored in the appropriate file, every banging session will be missionary only and only between 20:00 and 20:15 on Weds evenings, etc.
Ask me how I know
It was to put out all the hot steamy sex.

You spelt bang wrong.
You should try approaching Swedish women instead, less anal.
Evil Bond Villain Lair obviously.
I am the same. UK is too overcrowded for me. But leaving is basically impossible for now.
I'm thinking mid Wales or West Scotland.
The issue is if remote work dries up. That's the killer. If remote work was guaranteed? I'd do it now.
England? There's no where in England I'd like to live really. That a slight exaggeration. But not much.
There's not really anywhere you're going to be completely isolated in the UK though. It's not like remote Canada or something.

Big fan of free speech but this is freer than should be allowable.
3/10 - would likely try to read again but also crying as I do so.
Isolation is fine until you need work, healthy care or rely on not cutting your own meat.
Plenty of places in the UK that provide a great balance of it all. I visit small islands a lot abd whilst the life seems fantastic it really is something you have to embrace fully.
Cant have your cake and eat it really.
There are a few places. Mid Wales, West Scotland.
For sure I don't want complete isolation. I just want a sleepy village maybe with a shop and a post office.
I hate the area I live in now. Can't wait to move.
Does it need to be absolutely out in the sticks in the middle of no where? Plenty of quiet villages about which have decent internet access including FTTP, some even have a decent chippy or Chinese so no need for Uber & Deliveroo.
My mate lives at the top of a hill and only comes down into the village when he fancies a takeout.

You can live remotely less than half an hour's drive from Edinburgh in the Borders and even south of Edinburgh you can be rural with no neighbour for a mile or more but still be close enough to a Supermarket that your frozen foods haven't even started defrosting after your trip to the Supermarket. It's just finding that place as they don't come up for sale very often.
Its a shame the UK is so wet. That is my fear about Scotland. That there will be so few nice days ill end up annoyed!
UK is one of the dingiest places. So many overcast days
