...and then you have to factor climate change in again.... — Pantagruel
I'd gladly trade this 'glitchy' 60 year old husk for my peak healthy-fittest 25 year old body :strong: but only if my 60 years of memories, learning, understanding (i.e. maturity) remained. Granted that "wish", I'd relocate to a much more remote, physically challenging environment in a country in the global south where the hazards of climate change are, and will be for the foreseeable future, minimal. Such places, however, are no countries for old bourgeois men or women ... :fear:I wouldn't want to be 30. — Pantagruel
By the way, the constituencies of Norfolk are Conservative. The Labour Party no longer held the urban constituencies they once held in Norwich North and Great Yarmouth, leaving them with no MP's. Norfolk
I don't know if this is a paradox or a contradiction. :chin:

It will be interesting to know what our Manc mate, Sir2u, thinks about Manchester (or what he reminds about this city). — javi2541997
South Germany near the French border is the way to go then or even France itself. Great summers (I studied there in Strassbourg, French side). Think Karslruhe, Frankfurt am Main, maybe as far as Stuttgart. Houses are affordable, — Benkei
We are looking seriously at emigrating to England (from Canada). Mainly for the warmer winters, also the community feel of village life. I feel it has a stronger socialist sentiment also. — Pantagruel
Interesting, possibly a romantic view. From an Australian perspective, everyone I know who wants to emigrate, wants to go to Canada - England being regarded as dysfunctional and a broken ruin, — Tom Storm
↪Pantagruel Why not a Scandinavian country instead? If you want a better and working socialistic environment, then England doesn't seem like the best choice? — Christoffer
Do you think you can know too much and become jaded about something? — Pantagruel
Yes, I often say if you want to know about a place, don’t ask a local. Or at least, be very careful who you ask. A few times I’ve seen tourists in Edinburgh being given the most awful advice and information, laden with prejudices, cynicism, and basic ignorance. — Jamal

Lewes — Punshhh
I thought you would be interested in knowing about this city. It seems a cool place to try to live, indeed — javi2541997
Thanks javi! However it turns out that England's stance on cannabis reform is somewhat archaic and, until that changes, moving there pose us a serious problem. There are worse places to be stuck than Canada I guess.... — Pantagruel
