I genuinely knew nothing of this thread until just now.

I live in the town where I grew up and I'm actually back doing the same job I did as an apprentice from leaving school and I'm as happy as Larry.

One of my mates once said to me that I really should be looking to leave my job as I've been there long enough to make it look bad on my CV - he couldn't get his head around the fact that I'd be quite happy to work at the same place for the rest of my life. It's not a lack of ambition or drive - it's that I enjoy my job and for me, work is simply a way to earn money to support my lifestyle. In fact I'd look at it the other way - that I've enough happening away from work that I don't need to chase jobs to feel fulfilled

Completely agree!

I live in the village where I was born, down the road from my parents. I work in said village, am able to walk to work in about 2 minutes and get to go home for lunch!

I see the kids more, see my wife more, and have time to do more things. I love it!

Not at all, but I can understand the familiarity of a home town especially if they rely on family support with childcare. Unfortunately none of the mongoloids I talked to had any aspirations to do anything, go anywhere or even had kids. Makes for great conversation!

I've got kids (one on the way) and am looking for work everywhere!

You're happy, that's all that matters, isn't it? I'm not entirely sure my throw-away comment 'fits all' those that still live in the same village/town/city. I can only comment on how I've found ex colleagues/acquaintances/school friends in conversation, who most importantly, I hold nothing in common with.
