RE: Are you ready? have YOU thought it through?? - Stokey - 12 April 2012
I'm Smack bang inbetween Manchester and Birmingham, in a city with about 330,000 population, Luckily the Countryside is only about a 1 mile hike for me, and then miles and miles of countryside to hide out in.

good for you Stokey, 1 of the reasons we came back home to Devon was that Somerset was filling up with lots and lots of new houses, we went from Plymouth (250,000) to Glastonbury(8,800) back to rural Devon(small town population 1,300), we now live the furthest house back of a housing estate on the parish boundary, if i leave my house i am in the middle of fields, full of sheep and cows, within 30seconds! like you say, then miles and miles of countryside to hide out in.

My bols not far away if I need it, and I'm a known local nutter so I think people wont bother me too much.
when the young uns near me go garden shed robbing they skirt around my house for some reason...

i reckon you'll be safe enough PG, most Essex girls seem to live for false nails, fake tan and lots of partying, you'll make it out-they wont!

LOL Paul so true.
I may live in Essex but I was raised in North London, I've always been Street wise my Daughter can't understand how I see things I'm not even looking at, even at almost 14 years of age she still claims I have eyes in the back of my head, I'll get out.

anybody who has lived in a city tends to know how to watch their back!
