You can buy a cheap home in the Black country and West Yorkshire where they hang washing over the street and you may get mugged. Prices in Devon reflect the sought after area that it is, which would you prefer? People who go to Spain to live soon run back to good old UK for the NHS.

yep ignore, idiot.

Differnce maybe that at Pocklington people use their local shops, but here locals don't on principal, this though goes for most small towns in Devon, I have no idea why. Yet people go to Newton Abbot shopping, maybe its I have a car must use it. I remmeber talking to someone in Plymouth who said they do all shopping in Exeter.. how crazy is that.

Here here! .. well said. They forget they are going to get old .. well I have news for 'em, they will and I hope they will remember their unkind words when they do. It will sadly be a totally different elderly generation then based on todays antics.
