Me tooI'm less keen on just being in a place where 180 degrees is blank sea.

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.
Dont be so touchy
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.
Denmark's countryside is pretty dull IMO: miles and miles of flat farmland.
No London weighting nowadays then? Or London fringe weighting as we are talking about Surrey.But if you are in public sector, salaries are nationally set. A teacher or nurse in Surrey has the same pay scale as in Liverpool or Manchester.
I like where I live, wherever that is.
I forgot to add that the food's mostly terrible and they're mean to pigs.I think you are thinking of Norfolk. You rode up the West coast didnt you? Probably North Sea Cycle route. Now that is really boring. But very uncrowded.
The next time you come, give me a shout.I forgot to add that the food's mostly terrible and they're mean to pigs.![]()
Entirely different pay scales now. London and National with different min, max and pay points.No London weighting nowadays then? Or London fringe weighting as we are talking about Surrey.
