Just check for homes in Buckinghamshire,very nice feel to the place and the homes were impressive but expensive,a few with swimming pools.Seems like Hertfordshire homes offered more land per property for similar pricing.I truly will need to spend time renting in order to learn the various areas.Now if only the dollar can continue to strengthen against the pound that would be pleasant

Have you spent much time there?
If you choose Liverpool you will have to get used to that accent Saw Brookside a couple of times and didn`t have a clue what half of them were talking about I don`t think the rest of England understands either

If you like football you can watch Liverpool or Everton and watch the delights of Fernando Torres or Mikel Arteta.

Careful with swimming pools in the UK because I think they are largely for the wealthy there etc So I imagine the mainatanence costs etc are pretty high and if your looking for a holiday home its not worth it. I know in the USA like Spain swimming pools among the middle classes with a reasonable size garden are the norm but I think in the UK its a real rarity for somebody to have one.

You mention that if the dollar strengthens against the pound..........Well I read somewhere that the dollar usually does better when the democrats are in office and so this may well be the case.

Ask me one about Hot Fuzz 'cos that was shot in my hometown.
I can well believe you or anybody else has seen this film several times because I think it must be the most repeated film on TV as it slways seems to be on

Hot Fuzz don`t know that?

Actually Scots accent no problems but I am referring to people from the major cities here especially Edinburgh not the really strong sounding stuff.

Based on that theory Northerners entails a lot of areas of the UK and are the people for example just as friendly in say Hull or Middlesborough etc?

In my work I meet a lot of Brits usually on a weekly basis and once a client from Livepool, stated that Liverpool was unique in the UK because according to him it felt like an island or even a seperate country and quite apart in many ways from the rest of England
