If you had the opportunity to live anywhere in the U.K. Where would it be, and why?

Are the twins that much hard work Gary?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Miss the rolling hills and the fact you are 2 hours from anywhere.

Happy where I am now, though I must admit I do like Cornwall.

There are plenty of places I like. Suppose it depends on work, house prices, schools etc

Just looking at options. We've ended up with a fuckload of equity in our house and need extra space. Wouldn't be able to buy a larger house where we are as the prices are mental. Currently weighing up moving elsewhere vs loft extension.

If you want better value property, then you need to move North. I guess the biggest consideration is family and your twins.

I live on the most easterly point of uk (where clarkson drove to beat the sunrise) and ive never really seen rotten cars just because were on the coast.. well maybe one! But he worked on the pier so it would see big waves and sit in puddles so aslong as that dont happen i think itll be ok

Good access to jobs is a major pro for staying put. If all goes tits up where I'm currently working, I can get into London on the train in 30 mins.

having a young family, our biggest requirement is good schools. We landed lucky where we are but house prices are high as a result.

we know friends that grew up in the country and have now moved back out to raise family as they want their kids to have the same freedom. Downside is the social side of things depending on where you are

We havew recently moved (September) to Carlisle after living in Tebay. When I was leaving the forces we needed to find some where to live so joined the list for a council house. And we were graded against the criteria etc and came quite down the list. So the only place we could get was in Tebay, 35-40mins drive from my mrs family and friends. And we found ourselves spending more time there then we did and at home and was spending a fortune on petrol. Don't get me wrong it was a lovely nice quite place to live with stunning views. And the primary school would have been brilliant for the little one, but just not really practical for us.

In the end I had to give up my stubborness and move into a private rental. Higher rent price but better quality of life. We live in a little cul de sac with enough room for the 2 minis on the drive. 20 mins walk from the centre of town and regular bus route etc. Just a shame I(we) can't afford to buy any where.

Job wise, I found that things were few and far between. There is Sellafield but would be and hour each way for work, but luckily I landed myself soemthing 15-20mins from home. I was the first person they had taken on in 10 years. And as for security one guy has been here for 42 years.

Schools are fantastic where we live.

Hmmmm. Think we have made up our minds. At the very least, the process of looking around means that we appreciate where we live and justify the extra cost.
