Nice areas??

[Newt]

If you can deal with the accent, New London (near where I live) is great. Good fishing close by on several thousand acres of fresh water, petrol for under 50p per liter, and only one traffic light in the entire town.

 

Note that in the past 75 years, only one hurricane has made it this far inland and it was in a very weakened condition when it arrived.

I used to live in Gods acre, till city folk discovered it! But for all its faults we still have very little anti social behaviour & I would never move away. Best not say where, even more outsiders would move in .

Normandie, sans doubt!

Kent is nice, great fishing, just avoid the Medway Towns.

Having said that Rochester is lovely except on a Friday or Saturday night or whenever we are dancing.

My little part of Suffolk was nice, but we've recently had a solicitor move into the village (haven't we, Westie? ).

Snatcher, i used to frequent Thames Ditton a lot a few years ago, The Red Lion and Ye Olde Swan were good pubs, I have friends who live on the isdland there, very nice indeed

 

I have to agree with Chesters though, Tilford is a very pretty place to live, plus I only live 5 mins away

LOL. Watch it Murphy. I'll have an ASBO slapped on your @rse if you keep up with the sledging of my fine profession.

 

Grundisburgh is a lovely village - pub by the green, where a stream runs through and traffic stops for ducks to cross the road etc etc

 

As for its inhabitants, well what can I say. A very friendly and welcoming bunch. We Grundisburgh folk enjoy the finer things in life, such as fresh lobster.

 

Compared to my last village, this is heaven. Used to live in Northants and there were drug dealers in the church car park, gangs of up to 40+ youths damaging property, machete attacks in the pub. Still, they didn't like solicitors either.

 

Worst thing that's happened to us so far is a snowball thrown at our windows last year. Didn't know who it was - just saw some middle aged guy with a brown spotted dalmatian jumping into a wreck of an escort van, which struggled to make it up the hill.

i live in quite a nice part of derbyshire, on an estate (not as in council estate, as in stately home type estate) and it has it's charm, bit of a pain not being able to get indian takeaways delivered though!

 

shortly moving to a similar place on the wiltshire/somerset border which hopefully will be even nicer, and within range of the local curry delivery

[Westie]

Important point that, Jeepster - whether your curry house delivers - and just reminded me of how great our first night was in the village. Removals men left at about 8.30pm. I managed to find one box where I'd packed a bottle of red. We finished that in about 30 minutes. Had the hunger - ordered a home delivery. Over the limit to drive and in any event not a scooby doo aboutwhere the local offie was - asked the nice curryhouse owner (tongue in cheek, having explained our predicament) if his driver could stop off and get us a couple more bottles of red on his way over - not a problem. Fantastic curry, two bottles of red (with receipt) and a quality night in our house, in front of the fire, with me putting our sofas together so that we could watch the tv which was propped on a cardboard box. :cool:
