    Why does living in London mean you never get of your car nt

    I was born there.

    Lived there a bit when I was in my twenties. My sister lives there. Takes her 3/4 of an hour to go 2 miles every morning.

    Places in England that one may inhabit

    In order of preference

    Broomhill near Wombwell..............................for the birds
    My present place of residence........................most things I need on the door step
    West End of London.......................................or as near to the West End as you can get - fantastic, exciting, different
    Leeds or Sheffield City Centre.........................near TARN but with a city atmosphere
    York area, but definitly no further north............quaint, couple of nice pubs in the village etc........and near to TARN


    Wouldn't live anywhere else in Britain
    But would consider places abroard

    RE: Places in England that one may inhabit

    You want to live in Leeds or Sheffield? That would make you one of those people you despise. Supporting a team in another town/City!!!!! Or would you change allegiance too?

    Obviously not read my notes

    Let me repeat (again!)............I do not hate or dislike fans of the Sheffield clubs or Leeds
    However, I do very much dislike the fans of the Sheffield clubs and Leeds that have no links to those cities (e.g. their family is not from there)..............and they were born and bred in the Barnsley district

    BIG difference

    Of the places I've lived in...

    Barnsley, South Yorks - Gotta like the tarn... great countryside all around.
    Preston, Lancashurr - Not bad. Decent enough town with student population.
    Milton Keynes, Bucks - Absolutely appalling... just a shopping mall and business estate.
    Whitehaven, Cumbria - Way too small and isolated seaside town... you'd have to really want that sort of stuff.
    Ulverston, Cumbria - Fairly quaint festival town but cliquey. One for the farmers.
    Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria - Isolated, backward but great beaches and community.
    Bristol - Excellent city. Cool, relaxed, great nightlife and facilities. The best place I've lived by a mile.
    Adelaide, SA - In four weeks time I'll be able to tell thi.

    So all those who drive in London do so unnecessarily?

    </p>

    You don't see any reason to use a car? </p>
