"After 5 years of living and working throughout the UK i'm amazed at how much variety there can be between regions, each with their particular charms. Post on the thread and say where you're originally from and why it's a place anyone would like to visit or even live. Let's focus on the positive with this one." I live in a small, unremarkable town near Preston! According to my future Son in law, though, it’s officially the most desirable place to live in the country when things such as house prices, amenities and exceptionally low crime rate etc are taken into consideration! It’s also, as I discovered when I started swinging - dirty bastard central!
Within an hour’s drive I can get to at least a dozen swinging clubs and hotels/venues!
No wonder I’m a happy little fecker is it? | |||

"My town gets a lot of bad press and people often look down their noses when you mention it. However I think it’s brilliant. We have every form of entertainment you could wish for in a small town. It isn’t expensive to live. We get some really amazing touring shows. Tim Burton made a film here, in fact loads of TV and film have been made here. In the evening when the sun is setting the beach is the a wonderful place to be. We have the illuminations which in itself is a bonkers idea but it works. A fireworks festival, a circus based festival, a festival devoted to street art and many amazing works of art on the sides of random buildings. The people are in the main bloody wonderful and it’s swinger central. It would take something or someone exceedingly special to make me move away. " The little eiffel tower is impressive and that transparent floor on top is amazing and terrifying to look down on
The ballroom is stunning as well and the piers have loads to do.
And yeah...swinger central | |||

"I grew up in Derbyshire, the peaks, the green fields, the dales. Truly beautiful countryside. But I always wanted to live on the beach, be near the sea.
