I am glad you are moving back to the city as you are obviously at home
there. If you lived in the country with all 'facilities 5 minutes walk away,
you wouldn't be in the country would you?
Personally I have had my gut full of Londooners who move to my part of the
world then moan about there not being 24/7 shopping and "no facilities for
the kiddies" and no shop on the dooorstep. WTF do you want for goodness
sakes?
Living in the country means living miles away from shops and restuarants. It
means a drive in the car if you run out of milk. It means being fairly
isolated.
If you then moan and whinge about the place that you live, you can bet the
locals will give you short shrift and no want to bother about you.
Imagine me moving to London and then moaning all the time about the noise,
fumes, too many people, no open fields etc etc etc.
