Lovely Wolver-ampton!
anyone on here live down there? will be moving down there once i've completed my RMN training. Just wondered what it's like to live there? i have a good mate in a place called sennen cove and me and my missus went down when we first started going out. At the moment we're renting a flat in wolverhampton (my home town) but the ultimate goal /was/ to move to australia and hook up with some other friends, but we decided that once we've got married and the pitter patter of little 'uns is being talked about we want to stay in this country, at least while our folks are still here.

so... could do with some good/bad points please!

thanks
 
thats not such a big downside though - im not much of a shopper in shops, but i do like to spend my hard-earned on the interweb.

and im not a big fast food person tbh - odd chinoise every now and again maybe.

what we're after is -

weather, sea, sand, greenery, clean(er) air and ultimately a job down there for both of us when i've qualified.

the BIG masterplan is to run a little b&b and restaurant but somewhere that won't just be the summer tourist trade, somewhere that has a good rep by the locals for a fantastic dining experience! but that's 15+ years from now maybe even 20.

keep em coming though!

I moved down to Padstow in North Cornwall for work last summer and will probably stay here a for a few years. However, overall it's all a bit too laid back for my liking and I really miss living in a city especially having lived in London. It is a lovely part of the country though and I do enjoy living here.

thats kinda why we're happy in wolves for now, but a few years from now the appeal of big city life will be waining!
 
most towns are like that though mate. apparantly adidas and burburry is some kind of fashion statement.

maybe in it's original form it is, but i really can't see people like that shopping in a burberry store! lols
 
Not too sure. I'm currently training in mental health so not expecting a huge wage off the NHS but I'm at a point in my life where it's not about the money. I walked away froma job that pays me 25k in favour of a job that I actually love doing, and with some fantastic people. In Wolverhampton I'm used to all kinds of nutbags and live in between two areas which have bad reps, but personally never had any trouble as yet, so the odd chavvy surfer isn't an issue for me.

I really have little experience of Cornwall on the whole, only Sennen, but the short time I spent there I felt at home - walking along the beach, just being with the missus. Simple pleasures. I'm not gonna be tied to big hospitals if I can help it - I'm guessing Exeter would be the biggest down there? I will hopefully working in rehab units for people sectioned under the mental health act.

We're talking post 2008 (when I qualify) and I've got a wedding in 2007 to sort out first, I'm just planning and looking at the big picture!

Was offered the job of running a co down in Shard somerset in october last year. I absolutly love the west country and was really up for it talked it over with family etc and the move was on. Then the directors of said co pulled the position for time being I was really cheesed off.
