TinymyNewt asked a fair question earlier.. quote.. "
Why do people often decide to move away from their life and all their friends when they retire? Alan Bennett wrote a play about it, and how it is often a terrible mistake. I think it was called Sunset on the Bay."
IMO it is easier for 'anywheres' to retire to a new place than it is for the 'somewheres'.
Anywheres being those of us who have moved away from home and possibly travelled around in work.
Usually graduates.
Somewheres are the more rooted people who have never strayed far from their birthplace.
Generally non graduates.
Those aren't statussignallers it's just that graduates tend to shift more during their working lives.
For 'bang for your buck' seaside retirement the Lincolnshire Coast takes some beating.
We're now known as the 'Affordable North Norfolk'.
