Indeed. Teesside is a beautiful place. London has the ability to ruin any habits of relaxation that one might have had.
And you can't walk slowly either.

You can, but you get taken for a tourist with all the attendant dangers.darthmaul wrote:AKAP wrote:YepGreat Plum wrote: No, but there's far nicer places to live and work...

This reminds me of a couple I saw at Victoria Station a few years ago - both middle-aged, very rotund, man wearing a loud shirt and a baseball cap, both wearing shorts which would have been baggy on normal people and sporting bum-bags, bloke with large camera around his neck.
I suppose they must have travelled up on the Gatwick Express, because with them they had a suitcase. Around this suitcase was a strap bearing the words 'American Tourist'. Just as well, really, because otherwise I would never have known........

My husband is in the betting industry so until he either leaves me or leaves his job we are stuck within striking distance of London.
I am originally from East Sussex and several of my friends have moved away and then bought a little property back there, as a holiday home or in anticipation of retirement.

We saw a couple on Skye, they had bought EVERYpossible thing in tartan, in clashing tartans of course. As he was taking a photo she called out 'El-merr' (wish I could imitate her accent). El-merr has gone into our family vocabulary.Richard Ruck wrote:This reminds me of a couple I saw at Victoria Station a few years ago - both middle-aged, very rotund, man wearing a loud shirt and a baseball cap, both wearing shorts which would have been baggy on normal people and sporting bum-bags, bloke with large camera around his neck.
