“We’ve still got a fishmonger. How many places still have that?” asked Kate Gander, listing the merits of her home, Market Harborough. In fact, she struggled to find anything negative at all to say about the Leicestershire town. “It’s got fantastic railway connections and it’s not too overrun by big businesses,” she said.
I'm from the East Midlands and would never live anywhere there, except perhaps Rutland.
Interesting. It seems I am confirmed as the only person in the UK who really, really hates Market Harborough! I go there when I need to but would never choose to spend time there.
I want a few fields in every town where we can live and retire while we still have a life. No work, no gov't bullshit , no tax . Just Music and self sufficiency. Be about 2 weeks before the tanks rolled in. bitterworld
Pity this is such a rarity. France has a totally different approach where affordable housing is available in every community, big or small. France invests massively in it's towns, villages, & roads. The UK hasn't done that in decades. We're miles behind, the UK is a dump tbh.
