Where would you like to live?

[Bratty]

If you had to choose a dream destination, too live? then where (please No Romantic ****** ie.with my family etc. ) I mean Dream Destination?

Bearing in mind, your pound has to go far in the resulting choice.

Why Post it here!? Because seemingly I am a "potty moufed" person!

[phil miller]

not so much where, because i like like living on dartmoor, im not a city person (try that and got screwed over) lol

id like a 3 bedroom house with a nice view of dartmoor with a nice size garden and of course a garage:biglaugh:

[zollaf]

i used to live in milton keynes and thoroughly hated it. my dream was to live in a remote part of wales in a nice house with a big workshop. i now live in a remote ish part of wales and have a bigish workshop. happy dayz....

[martin1810]

I live 5 mins walk from the beach. So I'm happy where I am.:D

[Bratty]

That would be my ideal! By the beach, the more remote the better (except perhaps the "skeleton coast" of Africa). But its always a compromise:(.
I like mountaineering and skiing and that does not sit well with a beach location.

Dunk

[zollaf]

my local beach is a place called Newport. its about 15 minutes away. right behind it is a mountain called carn ingli. its not exactly very adventerous climbing to the top, but is really close to the beach, and after a good snowfall there is no reason why you couldnt ski down it.

[Captain Answer]

I'm really happy where I am now, I live in a niceish village just of the cusp of Leicstershire and Derbyshire, my house is plenty big enough for just me and a few boys toys, I can walk out to the countryside within 20 minutes of my door.

Everything I want is in reachable distance, I can be on the M1, the M42, or the A50 in a couple of minutes and I've got three big cities in an easy reachable distance and an airport just to the top of the village as well

[MalcQV]

Location not such a big deal, just a big garage full of cars.

Abig island with my own roads and no small mind A***ols who cant drive,or be nice and a big workshop.OH to dream !!!!

That pretty much describes New Zealand!! :p Except we have two big islands, and we do have people who can't drive - just not that many!

The South Island where I live (yeah, imaginative name - the other is North Island!) is just over half as big as the entire UK, and has a population of just over 1 million. So, open roads, mountain passes, hugely long coastline, bugger all people.....what's not to love! :beerchug:

[Dudey Head]

Rural Italy. Mrs Dudey & I actually do want to retire there. Considering we've got 30 odd years till retirement, there's plenty of time to prepare!!

[bricam1]

For me it would be Spain - Albir. Great place and I love it.

[netherfield]

Happy where we are,just close enough to local facilities,and just far enough from the chavs of the world.

[the surfer]

I would love to live in north Devon (Croyde/Woolacombe/Saunton/Braunton) or a Cornish village like Padstow or somewhere in that vicinity. Slightly too far from family and friends so quite happy where I am in Wiltshire.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere near a city! I like ocean, green fields, laid-back people, no traffic, fresh air and nature. If you ask me, the South West is the real England!

[Bratty]

Yep, that would be my phylosophy in life, bit of sun, definetely sea and relaxing atmosphere:beerchug:.

The reason I posted this topic is to get an idea of? "Is Life So!! ****!!"?

I live in Germany as a Brit (with a fairly good job) and it is far from ideal, (I am sure that the Tax Man/Woman has a clause where they can systematically probe my nether regions without any sort of answerability!)

Outwith the question of illness, my ideal lifes destination would be somewhere remote, with access to a beach (bit like Cornwall ;)), but also Exotic (perhaps Belize, or South Turkey).

New Zealand for us is one of the MUST DO`s as a holiday destination :beerchug: but it takes a lot of prep and money:confused:.

Dunk

[zollaf]

south west wales answers all of those. it is exotic, if it wasnt, i wouldnt have a fig growing in my garden.
next year i'm hoping for 2 figs, but 1 is fine for now.

I was just about to post Cologne as a place I would like to live, Civilised & fairly Chav free!

Maybe a rethink is needed

Sounds great is it time for me to move? maybe whats to keep us in rip off UK

[Bratty]

When I go back to the UK I always feel that I am paying over the odds! But on the other hand you have Supermarkets that are open 24HRS (if thats good). A Good night on the pis with a ruby murry is completely OUT OF ORDER!!.

Zollaf WALES sounds good! :beerchug:. But! No matter how you champion it, an outsider is just THAT? Worst case scenario , sit down in rural restaraunt (in welshland) everybody is speaking english and content!, as soon as we order (in English) everyone starts speaking welsh:confused:.

Await re-educating (but it is so!!)

Dunk

[zollaf]

to be honest, about 70 % of pembrokeshire is only english speaking, because thats where they come from. its a very popular place to retire to, or move to if you can find work, although the bigger towns seem ok to get jobs, unless you can get into the oil refinery, then your laughing. its north wales where the english seem less welcome, but thats where they buy holiday homes. but, i have spent a fair amount of time there (before moving to pembs, and some time since moving ), both as a hiker, camper and 4x4 driver, and have never ever had anything but niceness from locals.

[Bratty]

I would live in Wales tomorrow, please do not get me wrong:approve:, but I would also live in loads of other places that I have experienced or visited, that is without being a bigot !

I am about as neutral as you can get:o, but obviously with a deep anti-establishmentareism problem.

[audipersempre]

Philippines or Thailand. Sand, sea and the other one, can't quite remember what it is :o

Cheap as chips to live there, beautiful scenery, great weather and girls girls girls :D

5 years and counting until I am 55 and can retire out there :beerchug:

[Bratty]

Audipersempre, you are not in the NAVY by any chance??:confused:??;).

Dunk

[audipersempre]

No I am not in the Navy, those boys are way too conservative :D

Philippines end of August can't wait :beerchug:

[Embisix]

Must admit, I'm pretty happy living in Brighton (well Hove actually!), but I'd love to have a place in The Alps (Austria or France). Awesome mountain biking in the summer, powder in the winter! Bliss!

[bannedbiker]

Somewhere like Whistler Canada, sound people, awesome mountian bike country, same general dislike of Americans...! :biglaugh:
