Do you like where you live?

Living in Central London, I love having everything on my doorstep but London has gone hugely downhill due to mass immigration.

This is apparent when i go back to Yorkshire (just come back) my birth town is a no go zone and we have had to try and stop my dad visiting there ,groups of non English speaking young men who have obviously not found gainful employment (because soft touch uk is a joke) so roam around and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,at least the ladies' keep themselves busy swapping labels in charity shops (this happened )

Anyway back Home ,what i have found is some cant cope with the quietness in rural areas ,my one shop and pub is 1.5 miles away an old neighbour told me he missed just walking down the shops and having a natter on the way and popping in to a few pubs ,also the transport links are non existent and that doesn't work for everybody ,i have 1 bus a day ,train station is Bodmin parkway miles away
Personally i love thie lack of people as i am an ignorant git and the traffic free location
also counting sheep is great

Please don't, it's terrible beyond belief, it's like walking through a 3rd world country, only worse.

Must be something about that part of England. There used to be old converted horse carts that did a banging hot dog in french bread in King's Lynn for a quid. That was a long time ago though.

I live on the edge of the Forest of Dean. As someone who doesn't really care for cities of any size, it is a decent area, and the likes of Newport/Gloucester/Bristol/Hereford are 20-30 miles away if you really need to go to a city. Obviously, the Forest of Dean is on the doorstep with walking/running/cycling and so on. Three small towns that have a couple of supermarkets each, plus local shops. Public transport is OK, with bus links to Gloucester (every 30-60 minutes depending on where you are travelling from) and trains to connect you to Gloucester/Newport/Bristol.

The downside is the area has not long found out about this mysterious element called fire, and someone from a city visited the other day to explain about this strange thing called electricity, so I think we're a bit behind in some ways.

I give you Billericay Dickie by Ian Drury and The Blockheads

Billericay is a decent commuter town, nice parks, decent High Street, low crime, a Conservative MP so it has most things you could want beside affordable homes.
