Crewe comes top in Hot Housing Index 2016 | News - print | Property Week
Crewe?
Chester is very nice, and to a lesser extent, Stockport.
But Crewe? What is there to speak of outside of the railway station?

Re: Nice places to live in the U.K.?
Hi I have lived in Nz for 22 years and originally come from Kent. My partner is from Yorkshire and has only been in NZ for 18 months and is very homesick. We are heading back to the uk at the end of the month for a holiday and catch up of family and friends. But we are also gong back to have a open minded look at living back there. We are looking at Lincoln as we have done the rural life and city life and want a bit of both. We have my 83 year old mum coming with us so it's needs to be a nice area wherever we move to. Any thoughts about that area would be great, plus any info on pensions (not there yet!) as I have been out of the uk since 1995. And any other stuff that might help? Cheers in advance

Re: Nice places to live in the U.K.?
Can I just say, as someone who's lived in Oxfordshire and worked in the hospitals for many years now, Oxford is a great place for a young person to live. It has a young, transient population and many internationals. You don't want to need a car though, that's a nightmare. Traffic and parking are hideous, so much so that it negatively affects recruitment to the hospitals in the city.
It's expensive too, a little cheaper to live outside the city. But then if you are only looking after yourself, it's doable. And you'll find many friends in the same boat.
And it's also very beautiful and centrally located. A train to London takes an hour and the bus is also an easy trip straight along one motorway.

Re: Nice places to live in the U.K.?
My parents are gutted we're leaving and my Mother, who happens to be the mothpiece of my parents, is being particularly nasty about it. Now we're running the risk of damaging our relationship irreparably.
My hubby is a Kiwi. I met him when I was working in Auckland and honestly, when we met it was a thunderbolt moment. He moved over here to be with me and it all happened so quickly we had difficulties with parents on both sides.
Now 18 years later we've been offered a fantatic opportunity for 3 years and to say my Mother is not happy would be an understatement

I envy your daughter your attitude.

Deep breath and don't cry until she's gone through passport control and can't see me.
