MrPin Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 And it also assumes that there is a single Cheltenham, I worked with one small quiet lad who moved from 'nam to the smaller quieter Cirencester because he never quite felt safe there. There's a lot of crime and one big rough council estate. It's not Stockwell or anything and I'd happily live there but IME it's a regular town with a very nice centre, next door is Gloucester, a regular city with a not very nice centre. It's not a good place to be black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappycocco Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I will no doubt be flogged for saying this. Somewhere outside London with an Oyster card accepting tube station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libspero Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 This is probably all a bit vague, but say you'd been living abroad for a few years and planned to return to the uk, but you didn't have any particular links to any particular areas, how would you go about deciding where to settle? Despite having lived in the north for most of my life I would say if you have a substantial budget I would choose Midlands southwards, mainly for the improved weather. After that it depends mainly on your job (unless you can work from anywhere) and your interests. I would quite like to end up in a small coastal town, but that is certainly not for everyone. Think of the sort of size /scale of place you want to live in City / Town / Village / hamlet. If you let us know (or post on the "10 most desirable things in your perfect city" thread), we could probably give you some much better ideas for a few places to "Premier Inn" in.

MrPin Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 We have lovely weather in Gurt Clodney! It's a miracle seeing giant sea whelks the size of a small van come out of the sea, and be absolutely filthy with each other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
