Where do you live?

Tonight, on facebook, somebody foolishly asked 'who lives in the best town or city then?'
Well, of course they were met with a barrage of answers...

I was probably number 195 because I had been out at the pub all evening, hence that is why ESSEX was voted so late lol.

Anyway, I was really heartened to hear that many, many votes were cast upon the north. This of course, came after they slagged off London. I was disheartened by this because I tend to covet London as being without fault and with great affection in the hearts of many. I myself see London in such a way and tend to see it as somewhere that I would live, given the finances and the means, yet on the other hand it is also a scary place that I have been taught that is full of crime.

I worked in the city from the age of 17 yrs and had many happy years working in the busy capital and mixing with people that lived such a life that their income afforded them. I was of course, among the one's that earn't a lower income but were working with them and of course expected to socialise with them. I must add to that though that, it didn't matter what you earned, it was never an issue, you were all equal when you were in the Cock and Woolpack which was our local at the time.

Such good memories, however, I don't doubt that many people have many memories of many other pubs and towns throughout the country. I am so glad that this was brought up on facebook as it gave me the opportunity to share this little memory of my past life in the city.
