I love and hate where I live in equal measure. I love the village I live in, and the surrounding ones. Nice, quiet areas with a shitload of country pubs that deal with lock-ins, quality scenery, and really good people It's very tight-knit here, and it's ace. However, 8 miles up the road is Wrexham. Which is full of dirty scousers.

There's also the problem that to get a decent job, unless this new project I'm helping get off the ground takes off, I'll have to move. I'm going to start badgering Media City, and resign myself to moving to fucking shitty Manchester.

My town is ok. I live in Haslemere in Surrey. The problem is that there aren't that many decent shops. We have a Waitrose and a Tesco. Got Guildford a 15 minute drive away.

It beats where I used to live in the back and beyond of Norfolk were there was nothing in the village.

There was a time where I was a complete mong about defending Manchester against any insults. And yeah, I still am, really. But moving from a village straight into Manchester isn't something I would recommend to anyone because it is a shock to the system.

Also, I thought it was Chester that was full of Scousers, is Wrexham just as bad then?

I hate any and all cities and large towns and don't trust the people in them and the fact that shops are open late and that it's more than £3 a pint.

As regards Scousers, they are everywhere. Chester, and all of North Wales. Wrexham isn't as bad as Rhyl or Flint, but it's still really fucking bad.

Tamworth, its got a ski slope, for if your a bit upper middle class or a nonce, and a castle. It's also right on the M42, making getting about not to much of a issue.
The towns alright, some bits are a bit of a dump but on the whole its not bad.

We had a "muisc festivle" last weekend, so I could lean out the window and listen to Billy Ocean.

Where I am in Chesterfield, folks are always moaning about how crap it is round here. Ungrateful fuckers, it's lovely in these parts, and probably not anywhere near as chav-ridden as other places.

These bastards need to know the grass ain't greener. I visited a mate of mine in Birkenhead a couple of years back, and it was like a third world country there.

In my experience Ellesmere Port is way worse for being full of scousers than Chester, the fact they seem to revel in it and put on the accent annoys me greatly. Besides Chester is back to being a tory town there's only a couple of working class areas most of it seems to be middle class.

Not much to do in Chester unless you're a tourist that likes walls or there's the zoo. Currently there's some half hearted regeneration scheme that's only resulted in the town looking like a building site, some full sized plastic rhinos all over town. Also when it the races are on the town is filled with utter twunts more than usual. Definitely worse places around but I wouldn't mind moving some where else.

Art I guess. Apparently they're set up to form some kind of trail, that people follow all around the town.

I live in Chorlton, its the most la di dah place in Manchester and despite that I love it here. Basically if the Guardian ruled the world this place would be the utopian model for all cities. We have no seagulls but the vegans are cunts.

You could move in with Bazihnio and his missus and be the hilarious 3rd wheel. There's a sitcom in there somewhere.
Also Barry, when i'm up for the Warehouse Project in november, you're putting me up. That is if you don't mind me skulking in at 7am gurning and chugging a bottle of cheap plonk.

When I were a lad, the most attractive thing about Chorlton was the shopping precinct full of teenage mums and Hanbury's supermarket. Oh, and Southern Cemetary.

By the way, those Rhinos sound like the Cow Parade we had in Manchester several years ago, but that was actually quite good because they all had a theme. I think somebody nicked the Dangermouse one from outside Piccadilly station though.
