Why would you move to South?

[Lonestar]

Its crap - too many people - not enough space - too many cars - not enough time - no manners etc etc

Definitely.

Yebbut.... if you live by the coast, 180 degrees of your world is cold saltwater. It's limiting.

The sea is your access to the rest of the world, unlimited.

Actually, I've messed about in boats since I was a little kid, mainly in Cornwall. I love looking out across water to another headland or another side of a creek. I'm less keen on just being in a place where 180 degrees is blank sea.

In a storm, I guess the sea must be spectacularly uplifting.

Your missing out, we bought a very small holiday place that backs on to the sea. I love watching the storms almost as much as the seals sunbathing in what passes as summer round these parts.

I love the coast if you can look along it and see interesting things. On the other hand, I don't want to gaze out at the grey North Sea, on an eroding coast, with zero expectation of seeing Denmark. I find it faintly depressing.

I'm was brought up beside the Irish Sea, there is the odd site of land depending on your exact position like the Ayrshire coast or Paddy's mile stone, but for the most part the next sight of land would be America. Still never been bored looking at it as it changes every day.

I moved North 15 years ago.

From Germany to Denmark. I wish I had done it much sooner. I love it here.

I lived all over the UK and geographically it is much of a muchness. Packed full of people and traffic.

The thing that makes the difference is friends, family and job satisfaction.

It's an urban jungle all over...

We can do selective posting all day. The fact that you have posted a tiny corner of Wales on the only day of the year when it didn't rain, does not prove your argument.

Do you really want to argue the fact that most of the UK is over populated?

Cheer up, you old bugger. I'm just about surviving down here with a littoral life

 

[Hitchington]

It's not that bad if you know the right places...

 

[threebikesmcginty]

The scene I posted is replicated up and down the country, hardly selective. You don't like it and left - great, one less moaner clogging the place up.

Reciprocal non-quoting post...

OMG, the UK is going to burst!





Ok, the weather is often crap in the green bits!

Indeed. The traffic is terrible near my cottage in Voe.

And the view over my back fence in Northamptonshire...

The UK is heavily populated. However, by and large the distribution of that population is uneven and weighted towards the South - part of the very subject this topic addresses - leaving huge swathes of the country still relatively remote and rural in nature. To dismiss an entire country because of the population density in one part of it seems odd.

You clearly like Denmark, and that's great, I'm cool with that. It looks like a genuinely nice place. Nevertheless, if traffic and bustle ain't your thing you didn't need to move to Denmark to find peace and quiet.

 

[rich p]

It's a stupid argument. There are large conurbations in the north which aren't exactly underpopulated and there is London and it's environs which account for most of the crowding. Elsewhere there are are beautiful quiet swathes of countryside and normal population density.
Ever been to Dorset, Steve?
I cycle around the lanes of Sussex, and on the South Downs, barely seeing any traffic.
