Many mention Devon/Cornwall,it doesn`t have to be a dream. I know of quite a few contractors who commute up from such lovely places for work on a Sunday night or Monday morning. WHen they return home for the weekend they say it`s like going on holiday each weekend, back to the seaside

Too true. I used to commute up to Manchester (V. early) on a monday morning from sunny South Devon and be at my desk in the City Centre for about half-nine.
They used to let me leave early on fridays too, around lunchtime, and with a decent run you could be home for teatime. Purfick!!
You can't beat it for quality of life, especially after moving here from "SWINDON"!!!

Devon and Cornwall are both lovely places to live, I prefer Cornwall as it's a bit more windswept and interesting, as opposed to quaint and countrified. The down side is that decent, well paid, jobs are nigh on impossible to come by so weekly commuting is the only real option if you want to earn decent money or have any kind of career prospects.

I did it for a while and it was bloody hard work.

Public sector permie job? Top salary, gold plated pension and spend every day on the sick with "depression".

Sorted.

Sorted.

Taken by those on the inside, salaries aren't all that and the decent pension schemes are closed to new arrivals...

Lets face it, if we could live anywhere in the world, it would probably be Bora Bora.

Went to Bora Bora in 1999, lovely little island!

For me, it would have to be Dorset, Jurassic Coast. A place where time had stood still, slow pace of life...But great country pubs, wonderful Coastline and Bournemouth stones throw away
