FabSwingers.com forum: Are you a country person or a city person?

If it was practical for me, I'd love to live in London. My husband wants to live in a tiny log cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Are you a city or a country person?

Grew up in the countryside, but moved to a city as soon as I could. I'm not one for peace and quiet and much prefer busy vibrant places. Always feel the need to live near the coast though.

City for sure! Not london though, it's stifling. Newcastle gives me best of both worlds, I'm right near town but only 10 minutes from the beach.

The countryside is lovely for visiting but I couldn't live there for good.

City all the way for us.

Scarlett wanted to move to the country some some time ago. I can't imagine anything more boring.

Countyside is very easy to get to from where we are if we decide on a stroll and a roll in the hey.

...having lived all over the place, both cities and the countryside...I can happily say its the countryside all the way for me!

Theres no way we'd get the size garden we have now in a city...and city traffic is a menace!

Admittedly there is less entertainment on the doorstep though...perhaps why we find our own hehe

The countryside is nice to look at, but you have to drive everywhere because there are no pavements, you can't walk in the fields or woods because they're mostly privately owned, your car is permanently dirty from the muck on the pot-holed, unlit roads, there are no shops, cafes or restaurants worth visiting so it's back to the bloody car anytime you want to leave the house. Oh, and if you have kids they need running about in the car every sodding day because there's no public transport.

Apart from that, we love it

Yes thou I prefer the countryside for the natural things I can totally agree with what you say The countryside can be nice to look at And visit but if you rely on liveing There the same as in a suburban area You would be in for a shock and public Transport would be the last straw I,ve Seen some nice locations in the uk but most have been like you mention.

Same here. Brought up, (or should that be Dragged Up?), in the Lake District. Now live just outside Glasgow. Couldn't go back to the emptiness of a small village in the middle of nowhere again.

I absolutely adore London. It's got a vibe that makes me tingle all over. I feel alive there. I had a boyfriend for six months who lived in Clapham. I think I liked the city more than him. So I was gutted when we split up. No excuse to hang out there every weekend.

Me: the sort of little country parishes where everyone knows everything, and the only pastimes included hiding in cornfields and cycling on abandoned airfields pretending to be Biggles.

Mrs ddc: London. (Her parents insist it's Surrey, but as far as I'm concerned, anything inside the M25 is London, just as they are all shocked there is any form of civilisation whatsoever north of Watford Gap)

So we compromised on a rural town - best of both worlds
