    Wherever you live is a compromise of different things. Live where you like but stop whinging about where other people choose to live!

    Well said.

    I've never seen a rat in London but I have to report that when I lived there in 1969 I was groped from behind while buying a paper at the news stand on Victoria Station. :o

    I regularly do. My parents' house in Kent is in the middle of nowhere - you can't actually see another house from any window there, and it's set in 90 acres of fields, ponds, woods, orchard, river, etc. The only buildings in sight are the stables, hay barn, oast house, and dairy. quote]

    hehe. you sound like one of those reallife snobs or WAGS i see on TV a lot. Come and stay for a week up here hunny.... Maybe we could star in a wife swap episode?

    Make sure you take the silverspoon outta your gob before bed xx

    When I was born, my parents had very little money instead, they've earned it over the last couple of years. No silver spoons, here.

    I've never been inside, but the outside is fascinating.
