Why do you like living where you do.

I'm happy in Sale. One reason is that my back gate leads to the local cricket/lawn tennis/lacrosse/field hockey club. It has a bar. In fact, I see that it's :beer: o'clock right now. Bye!

I have to tell you Scrooby is not too bad. I live 200 yards away from my grand children and only 1 mile away from God's own County.( For non believers that is Yorkshire) I have lived all my life with in 10 miles from where I was born. I have had the good fortune to travel the world at my employer's expense on business visiting places that no tourist would ever go so I am not as insular as I would seem.
Doncaster is really my home town and, as a well known journalist, Michael Parkinson, said "Ah - Doncaster, only a town that it's son's could love". That about sums it up, I could no more recommend Doncaster than "fly over the moon" but its where my oldest chums live. I have many friends all over the place but nowhere is quite like home.
I hope I don't sound smug but life's not that bad here.

I live in North Idaho. If I could leave here and move anyplace on Earth, I'd move to North Idaho.
Four seasons, forest, prairie, rivers, lakes, snow, rain, hot, cold, and all that. If it's warm, you go do what
you want to do. If it rains, you go do what you want to do. If it snows 2 ft., you shovel and plow, and go
do what you wanted to do. Simple. I'll die here and be happy about it.

:bugeye: :bugeye: Yikes never imagined a response like this, you have exceeded yourselves.
So I've found out what part of the world you all like, were do I come from, the lat & long in my sig shows where I live, alledgedly I live in the affluent south but the government is trying to fix that.
Most Tilehurst people still call it Tilehurst or in olden times it was called 'Tigelhurst' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilehurst or though its now part of the urban sprawl that is Reading and that is gradually becoming a suburb of London, to the south we have 2 atomic weapons factories so when 'Terminator' kens robots start to takeover, the fan will get covered bigtime, next the M4 out of London that brings all the wanna-be gangsta's and everything else along with it. Next is the K & A canal, to the north is the river thames which to me is the north/south divide, I suppose when I started noticing the change in tilehurst was in the mid 80's when an old school buddy of mine was murdered in a local pub.
I know some will say why don't I move the answer is money or the lack of, a decent mid-terraced house costs anywhere from £180k upwards, thats why if money was no object I would certainly leave England forever

I suspect the old favourits for immigration from your land still apply. Canada, Australia and NZ.
Unfortunately you can no longer get a free trip to Australia by picking someone's pocket and you can not now come to NZ for just 10 quid. :beer:

and if my father hadn't bottled it the late 60's we would have been £10 poms.
So where would I like to live, I've this fascination of places with strange names Burkina Faso is definitely on the list along with Alice Springs and Greece esp the Ionian Islands they are so laid back there and anywhere that is warm, so it doesn't take long to get going in the morning the cold weather really screws up my knee's and hands.
So if I do come up on the lottery you might be getting a visit. Keep posting as this is my only means of escaping. :nrocks: :nrocks:

Alice springs would certainly get you going :) 40+C summer temps 25C sorta winter temps (nights can be - 5) its desert country so not a lot of rain but not sahara type desert. :bugeye:
Pretty much centre of Oz and lots of distances to get anywhere and population about 30 thousand from memory. I prefer Sth Oz :D
