I do

Dirty, smelly, poverty-ridden, (second poorest area after one in East London, apparently), full of immigrants, full of dirty fat chav women, full of teens pushing babies with another one on the way, full of second hand, and charity shops, no proper mall or covered shopping, filthy streets, but massive council tax..............Yuch!

Add to that, it's Backwatersville UK. I often try to follow recipes etc on TV, but am fast giving up due to an inability to find some of the ingredients.
Today was shin beef, of all things. NOWHERE had it, and yesterday, three butchers didn't either.

Roll on going to live in France

Snazy

Nope I love living in my part of London actually. For all its faults I would not wanna move away unless it was far far away.
Got everything I want right on my doorstep

I really like the place i live in, its a good ol' Protestant-styled village with good ol' values. You've got good neighbours, nice shop keepers and a hairdresser who cuts my hair for free if i wash her, car until 18months ago it was brilliant!

Now its getting riddled with scummy townfolk and their rat-like children who have no values what-so-ever or respect for anyone or anyones property. Its actually been getting bad enough that the girlfriend now wants to move.

Torquemada

Nope, I quite like the town I live in, fairly well to do, decent butchers plenty of shops, good for commuting to london, some very nice restaurants (Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Italian and Tapas, all within 5 minuts walk), it's not noisy apart from a few peeps on a Saturday or Friday night and is close to all my closest friends and my brother lives 5 minutes walk away. Could be worse.

Thankfully, when I chose where I was going to live, I didn't get all masochistic and choose a place that I was gonna hate

The Zohan

There are certian parts of northampton which are no-go areas, even during the day. I hate that this has been allwed to happen. The areas are infested with easter europeans - gangs who do not make you welcome and do not want you in their territory. They fight amonst themselves as well - old rivalries

I love living in Harpenden town/village. We do not have any Maccy D's etc here. We do have a Sainsburys Waitrose and A food Marks and Spencers. I think the type of shops you have depicts the type of people that live in the area, sort of

We dont have any gangs of nastiness just young lads on hairdryers but they are not as many now.

We have lots of green space and its nicely kept. I would be hard pushed to find somewhere better to live these days.

And the bus stops are not full of immigrants. Plus only one language is used in the schools

Torquemada

Yep, generally I'd agree with that.

I live in Loughborough, its alright really but like most places has good and bad areas.

We got every shop here that you need plus 2 x maccy ds.

Its a Uni - town so there are more pubs and clubs here than average which are most likely kept going by the students themselves.

Its got its fair share of immigrants but they tend to live close to the centre of the town which isnt where I live . Crime isnt too bad especially compared to the nearest citys of leicester and nottingham.

The best part of living here for me is the country side and some nice driving roads when they arent busy.

StickyMicky

The main town i am on the outskirts of, is full of pikey charvers, but i am situated right out of the way, in a quiet little estate, overlooking a marina full of nice posh boats.

I love the part that i live in, 5-10 mins drive and i am not so keen to be honest, although it is being redeveloped quite a lot and they are flattening and rebuilding quite a bit of it, into what looks like more "nice parts"

We are based on the banks of the river tyne, which in 5 mins leads to tynemouth/the sea, so you tend to get the more nicer folk paying a bit extra to live on the water banks etc etc

The pikeys tend to stay a bit more "inland" only venturing out to steal things and assault people

A few years back, some pretty impressive riots were kicking off in "meadowell" and this part of the town in only a 10 min drive from where i am, in fact the youngun at work lives smack bang in the middle of it, and is always getting his wing mirrors kicked off his car and stuff

Where we are is no kind of through road/route to anywhere that the pikeys need to be, they will either go into the main town, or hop on the metro train and go straight to newcastle, so you would not believe the difference in the way that people live, considering we are such a short distance apart

yoza

Nope...I like it where I live.

Close to where I work, and also close to where I work as well, ideal really.

Yet far enough away to be out of it.

cryptic stuff.

Like it where I live, which funnily enough is why when I was looking to buy a house, I bought one here.

Liked the last place I lived in Cardiff as well, as it was one of the best areas, but was starting to get a bit too busy, so moving out to a village in the countryside is much better.

Surrounded by mostly retired people, normally during the week the birds singing is the loudest sound.

Bit obvious really, if you hate where you live - move !

yoza

Maybe being tied to a place you dont like is not good for you, it makes you unhappy....




Hence why you never see an unhappy Gypsy, if they dont like it where they are, they hitch up and **** awf somewhere else.





Happy, happy....happy.

I love where I live, its 30ish minutes from most other towns, right on the foothills of the peak district, a number of forests/woods and loads of places to go walking (which is what I like)

Would still love to move to Cornwall though, different pace of life.

As for my home town of Rochdale. I would never move back there its like the middle east and the council have ruined the place!

If I could though i'd move back to japan in a heartbeat, as even the worst sh;thole there is a paradise compared to here!

Its ok over here in Cheshire by and large, a trip to Oldham and back through Manchester taking in a few places where I lived/visited as a kid made me realise how nice it is where I live, inner city Manchester is a **** hole, trampy areas full of bookies, tanning salons and manky pubs, houses with the number badly pained on the front in gloss paint, P reg Puntos and a garden full of rusting bikes and kids toys, shaven headed kids on BMX's followed by Staffies off the lead, young Asian dudes blasing round at high speed in noisy old Jap cars, people stood smoking and drinking, litter everywhere, no pride, nobody seems to give a ****, teenagers sauntering across the road in front of your car to get a reaction ( pretent you havent seen them, they soon move). Doesnt need to be like that really does it, why do people seem to revel in crapness ?

Sometimes I despair at some of the selfish ignorant tossers round here but rather that than living in a **** hole

Steve vRS

I like My little bit of Cheshire.

I hate the fact I can't afford to move up the housing ladder in the village as everyone else likes this little bit of Cheshire as well!

For our budget. back in Cumbria, I could have a bloody palace!

Tanyatriangles do you live in Dewsbury per chance? you have described it to the letter?

I used to live in Huddersfield and now hate the place, think it's becuase I stillwork there in the worst areas, live in a nice part of Leeds, although Bradford is not too far away and thats ****e too

I absolutely hate the old town i used to live in. Was a lovely place 10-15 years ago, but has gone very downhill.

I have moved to a little village now, and it is so much nicer

SJ_Skyline

There are times when I hate the town I live in. Seeing fat, teenage mothers dropping *** ash on their kids heads. Having my back jarred by the potholes in the road. Driving past the hospital that has now been closed down despite the town having a population of over 80K.

But then the grass isn't always greener. We have some good restaurants, plenty of things for the kids to do, plenty of open, green space and our neighbours are great.

Would I (we) move? Maybe but the move would have to be to a place where all of the boxes for things that we wanted were checked. You might move halfway around the round the world for what you thought would be a better life only to move next door to a neighbour from the 9th plane of hell.

PaulC72

Dislike where I lived for most of my life Birmingham, couldn't wait to leave, love the village I live in now, and the town isn't too bad when I go there.

davyboy

I don't hate it, but it has plenty of problems like most large town/cities.

Thankfully I live on the edge of town, close to fantastic countryside and work 50 miles away, so rarely see much of it!

I used to hate south london but surprised going back there how posh it's all got in some places.

I live in the concrete city now but for all the flack it gets it's nice to come back to it and not see any drama.

People generally get on and are fairly liberal about things, there is plenty of money and prospects are good but the only thing that it does miss is the hustle and bustle that you can only get from having people close together which sadly my city lacks as everything is spaced out (but we got some damn nice driving roads).

Leslie

I come from the London area but would not want to live there any more.

I consider us to be very lucky to be able to live in the West Country which is a beautiful area and where the people still live according to the old standards where people think of others and will always help when it is needed.

Hull has it "special" areas like anywhere, but it was the zero employment opportunities that eased me out to the "Rhubarb Triangle", just North of Wakefield.....
Quiet except for the M1, M62, railway line and the planes heading for Leeds/Bradford...

P.S. You can tell Jeff has a poorly car can't you ?
