          .
          Exeter and Plymouth are large-ish cities and have good fast train connections to London. Exeter is a bit of a dive however, but living somewhere near the cost and then jump onto the fast train to London Sunday night from Plymouth or Exeter is worth the long journey
          Nothing like living near the coast if you enjoy the outdoors IMO, and towards the SW where the climate is a little nicer

          Somewhere slap bang in the middle of the country could be a good idea, somewhere like Swindon

              think i'd be looking to get as close to london as possible. location be ****ed. get in there. work hard, save hard and sell up for a surprisingly massive profit in 3.7 years. then you can afford to be a bit more choosy.

                    I love this board. Top 1% of earners in the country and still manage to whinge about how sh! t their lives are.
