Where would you move to?

andy

If you had to move outside London. Read these comments first:

Bristol and Brighton are candidates for me. Scotland might be interesting were it not so far away and so cold.

Lucy

how about cape town?

andy

I'm stuck on the idea of being within striking distance of London. Maybe I need to give that up.

Rachel

Australia - Melbourne or Sydney
USA - San Francisco or Wine region
Europe - France

This is worrying that the UK doesn't even feature in my mind. I must me deeply unhappy!

Why would you want to go to Scotland? You would be very very miserable

andy

I always got the impression that Edinburgh is a nice city. Never really spent any time there though.

I notice that Haywards Heath isn't on the list...?

If we're going global, I'd be tempted by Vancouver, New York and Boston. Paris is cool. Bordeaux is nice - but how do you make a living?

Lucy

we won't need to. I'm going to win the lottery tonight. must remember to buy a ticket!

New York would be on my list I think. UK only really features because that's where everyone I know lives!

Rachel

Yes. HH isn't on the list which should be a concern really!
Never been to New York. Would like to go.

I think if you wanted to live in the North Pole then you will find some way of making a living.

I am going to win the lottery. Then all will be fine. However, I don't think moving to HH is practical to win any lottery or competition where money is the prize. For example on a Tuesday between the 2 episodes of CSI there is a competition to win £10,000. The person who wins always live in a shit hole of a town in Scotland, Wales or northern England!

I realise I'm replying to a thread that's shedloads older than my membership on this site (but that's work procrastination for you...)<br><br>Me and my missus constantly play this game.  We nearly moved to Bristol off the back of it a couple of years ago, and ended up moving to Stroud Green instead.  Sort of the same.  Except not.<br>

Stella

Without reading the article first: Australia. I have a few friends over there and it's warm. ;-)<br><br>An and you got me running after you. hahaha.<br><br>Did you see the prompt on the writers thread? Stop playing on the forum and get cracking with writing. I'm doing exactly that now.<br>

boxrunner

@Stella I did and I will.  Got to get this tender out first though...<br>

<P>I heard that Sydney is more expensive than London these days? My vote goes to Lisbon - its close, sunny, its easy to communicate in english, and they have amazing seafood </P>

Ali

Your right Oz is incrediably expensive  to live in, Melbourne property is more expensive than London, when I was at the boxing  day test couple  of years ago it was around £7 a pint for very bad beer in the pubs.  Great place though, go and get a dump truck drivers job in WA  <A href="http://www.getajobinthemines.com/dump-truck-jobs-mines.html">http://www.getajobinthemines.com/dump-truck-jobs-mines.html</A>;

San Francisco Bay Area, preferably Sausalito. Or Paris please.

harpistic

My brother lives in Sausalito and loves it - good choice!<br>

boxrunner

Barcelona.  You've got the beach, the mountains, urban nightlife and lovely food.  Also close enough for friends to visit.<br>

unattachedinfant

<P>@Misscara - I reckon Brighton beats Lewes hands down. You can still get a lovely pint of Harveys there, but without all the snobs. Although their Bonfire Night is pretty epic...</P> <P>My unrealistic ambitions involve being rich and living in Paris. Although I do have a strange affection for Cardiff for some reason.</P>

Idoru

Cambridge or Tynemouth. <br>

janez

I would be boring: Brooklyn. <div><br></div><div>Andy, why Paris not Berlin? Paris seems cool only in hauntological sense, while Berlin lives in the future. </div>

Sea frets happen in the summer too!  Agree it is a lovely place,we lived in Newcastle and loved visiting especially the market on Sundays.  We even looked at a few houses there too but ended up sticking to Newcastle.<div><br></div><div>I have a list of places I would like to live in depending on the mood I am in/position of our imaginary finances:</div><div>Glasgow (but too rainy), Edinburgh (New Town), Barcelona (top of the list for a looong time). Seville (but avoiding summer mths), Verona or Salamanca.</div><div><br></div><div>I also have a soft spot for Harrogate and the Northumberland Coast in general.</div><div><br></div><div>Just don't make me choose!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

When I win the lottery I'm going to buy a second home in Tynemouth. There's one with massive windows overlooking King Edward's Bay that I've got my eye on. Either that or one on Percy Gardens.<br>

Ilovegreyhounds

I like the old terraced ones on the main street near the station opposite the private school. I think there is a pink one and a yellow one. There is also one with a crescent moon on the garden gate which may have a connection with the Turks Head further down the road?

It would be a toss up between moving back to Los Angeles or Malham in North Yorkshire its stunning. <a href="http://www.malhamdale.com/">http://www.malhamdale.com/</a>;

@misscara I grew up in Steyning. It is a great village. Fully stocked high street because it is just about far enough away from larger towns like Brighton. I share your views about Brighton's more scummy parts. Ditchling is beautiful, but very very small.

boxrunner

I still dream of having a flat near the centre of Buenos Aires.  Sun in the summer...sun in the summer.<br>

Detritus

<p>I have always had a dream of moving to Ulan Bator.</p><p>Was talking to Miss Annie about it last night its a place I have always wanted to go to.</p>

Nuuk, Greenland, the north-east side of town, for me. But only with a good internet connection. That or Bournemouth.

Idoru

Narnia.

I'm retiring to Wales. What a surprise! But I may spend some time with Mrs.TB and family in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Travel is great.
