I used to live in Dunstable and work in Hemel. Moving from tulipty Dumbarton to Dunstable when 21 was a bit weird the first time. On one hand Dunstable had a Dixons, on the other the pubs shut shockingly early.
This time, I'm going to be working at the OU in MK and I've now secured a house share near Bletchley train station. At least I'm a 5 minute walk to the train station and 55 minutes in to London, so not all bad
