chrisp65 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I've found Cornwall a bit up it's own arse in recent years, thanks in no short measure to Rock, Padstow + Rick Stein, singing fishermen and those West Cornwall Pasty stands in all London stations. Much prefer the less pretentious East Devon area. Agreed. Cornwall thinks it's 'Celtic fringe', and some of the locals share the worst attitudes of the Welsh (present Welsh company excepted!). Devon FTW. Has Cornwall fallen into the trap of beginning to believe it's own publicity? Devon and Dorset today. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If I could choose to live anywhere in the UK, t'would probably be Forres. Was home for 7 of my formative years, and when I went back for the first time a couple years ago after decades away it had barely changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Different strokes, different folks. A pub and some scenery is all I'd need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 On worst places to live, I'd have to say Redditch is up there. Never thought I'd find a place that was comfortably worse than Bham, but that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Enniskillen ain't bad if all you need is scenery and a pub. Albeit, you really will be on the fringes of civilisation. Edited February 19, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm definitely going to look to relocate At some point to Devon The only downside I can see is the longer commute to B6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, a bit of a nap on the coach, listen to Ipod - what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted March 4, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2013 I find the idea of being a near-hermit on an island off the coast of, say, Scotland, oddly appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yep, Gibraltar is like a microcosm of everything bad the uk has to offer crammed into 2 square mile. Chavs, asbos, crap chip shops, lousy amusement arcades, greasy spoon cafes, Morrissons, a mosque, Went once, literally never again. I know a few people who have moved over here from Gibraltar. They all hated the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I wasn't sure what thread to put this is in.................anyway as some of you know I have recently relocated to Birmingham and I had a night out at the Arcadian last night. Cesspit doesn't come close. I was about to go to the China Red nightclub but as it was 4 am they wouldn't let anyone else in. 10 minutes later I was relieved as 3 people got stabbed, 1 of them critically injured, lying on the floor for an hour, people trying to save him. BBC news have reported on the story. Then another man in his 20s got stabbed outside one of the Chinese restaurants there. I saw at least 12 fights, no exaggeration, people vomiting, was just a horrific scene, a real eye opener. I guess this kind of shit happens all across the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know town that well these days but I'd imagine Summer Row, The Mailbox and St Paul's have less chavs causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
