          I'm happy where I am

          Over 500ft above sea level and eagerly awaiting sea level rises to obliterate the low lying/coastal cities (I.e. London etc.)
          Confusion is a natural state of being

            Hmmm...

            Good point - I could stay where I am, in The Peaks, and look forward to owning a seaside property.

              Tyneham is the place for you then.

              Taunton would be the place for me. - Great countryside, Horse racing, first class cricket and a decent rail link into London.

                That was before the house price crash, now it's worth less than 30k.

                Still that didn't stop sasguru from thinking himself as a rich man....
                I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                      In the south as that has the most sunshine and generally better temperatures.

                      Would rule out Wales being English, so Devon, Cornwall, Dorset or Hampshire.

                      Kent, Sussex and Essex are too chavy and too close to that tulipehole, London.

                      Perhaps Penzance, or near Torquay along the Babbecombe road to Teignmouth.

                      Something like this.

                      Are you sure thats not the Fawlty Towers hotel?
