Happiness is NOT city shaped

[Highlander]

I have never lived in a city,..[ other than on Military postings ], and I am very pleased about that, I even hate it to go down as far south as Kilmarnock where my married kids live.

I have a family member who lives in one of the tall blocks of flats around spgettie [ sp ] juntion on the M6,.. he comes to my house from time to time, but cant sleep when he gets here,... because he says its too dark and too quiet,.. he wouldnt dream of walking three miles to the nearest pint, in case something jumped out of the dark at him,... yet he would walk the streets of Birmingham

I realy feel for you guys who are in the city and dont want to be there,.. I most certainly would spend my entire time looking for work elsewhere with live in accomodation,...I know of one person who lives somewhere by Southampton, who cant stand it, so him and his wife travel up to a local campsite and become the site warden for the season, living in a caravan,.... but in a place he wants to be,... the saying. `Life is too short` comes to mind
