City or Country?

[Jonna_Rex]

Which lifestyle you prefer? And why?

[gorvid]

Depends on my mood....
Sometimes I miss the city.......











I do like coutry though...

[Prof Beard]

Neither - I prefer towns - don't like to live in big cities (like to visit them) - and certainly don't want to live in the country (nice to look whilst driving through it though)

[bga]

country for me.
Will be moving there soon hopefully to get out of this scummy capital city

pros:
more space
cleaner air
quieter
people usually more friendly
fewer scummers per sq mile (usually)

cons:
smell of cow dung
everyone knowing your business
inbreeding rife
limited choice of local pubs within walking distance

[Jonna_Rex]

country.... darn typos

[rich 36]

Or a group of 'doing-well'
chartered surveyors and Estate agents all dressed in red
abusing some hunts sabs

[Jonna_Rex]

UK countryside is ideal...towns are close when you need them...and the quiet pretty countryside is just there. True enough people seem to be much more friendly there.

I'm not sure about the people being more friendly....

Where in the country are you heading..?

[Jonna_Rex]

I want space around me and that we have here. I love the countryside, I always have. People seem to be more relaxed and not so stressed. Besides you can avoid the chav attitude as well.

I'm not sure where we will be moving yet, Sussex or Devon are the best bets at the moment. Brighton is a possibility as it's more "towny" than many other places I've been.

I'm a born & bred country bumpkin & just don't really dig the whole city thing. It's served a purpose for the last 10 years but I'm looking forward to living somewhere where people don't think you are crazy if you walk down the road smiling or you say hello to people serving you in a shop. It's a bit different "oop North" but for various reasons a move that way is not practicable in the short term.

Born in Sheffield...
Lived in Bristol for 5 years...
Im in Devon now...

Seaside!

love the peacefulness of the countryside, but dislike most "country" folk, if I'm not driving give me the city any day, or best of both worlds, house in country apartment in city .

Which bit of the lovely Devon did you end up in? Manky North or sun kissed South (Hams?)

[gorvid]

Lived in South Devon for 9 years - on the edge of Dartmoor....
Lived in North Devon since 1989 a few steps from the beach

North Devon is hardly 'manky' though...

[Plotloss]

Cities can right off.

Especially that London, like market day every day.

I'm only jesting, I'm just trying to keep a bit of North/South (Devon) rivalry alive

North Devon does have some fantastic rugged coastline I'm only jealous

[gorvid]

With my Northern roots...S.Devon....N.Devon history you would have thought I might not have missed that


Rugged is the word alright!!

[eccles]

i currently live in the worst of both worlds....its a small market town in suffolk with few shops, just estate agents and fast food places.
the majority of the locals are inbread idiots, and the rest are plastic cockney wideboy london overspill gangstas from romford.

(anyone want to buy a lovely spacious 2 bed flat with country views? )

[Mrs Trackside]

Country.

I was born and bred in NW London and have slowly moved further and further up the M1. When we first moved to Hanslope 6 years ago, I felt like I'd been cut off from the rest of the world. Now, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else and you can keep London. I don't even like visiting anymore.

Couldn't have put it better myself. So I won't.
