    I can't say that I find too much to argue with. Several of those cities are targets of ours for the time when we finally get the heck out of the US.

    Well, they are all places that I would like to VISIT, but to live - no thank you.

    I live in a village in the middle of the forest. We have our own dairy, bakery, brewery, butchers, pub/restaurant, petrol station and garage, general stores, newsagents, Post Office and stores, ironmongery and hardware (that has everything), blacksmithy, timberyard, three places of worship (C of E, RC and Baptist)(Methodist is six miles down the road), outlets for all types of hobbies and handicrafts, a shop dealing with adult interests and requirements is nine miles away and the London West End is two hours easy driving. There are five species of deer in the forest and we regularly get them all in the garden. The train station linking us to the East Coast main line is six miles away.

    I get 8 megs broadband speed and snailmail deliveries six days a week before 08:30. Give this up, for the noise and the pollution and the privilege of living with millions of strangers - I think not.

    Regards

    Chas
