I really don't get what people like about the countryside..... I live there, it's shit. I wouldn't want to live in the town centre, but on the outskirts of a town would be my ideal place. Everything within walking distance or a short drive - popping to the shop/bank takes an hour, 25mile round trip from here. Frozen food is defrosting before you get home. Costs nearly a fiver in fuel alone, and then if you have to pay to park as well costs even more. Stupid winding roads with too many old people, cyclists and tractors and very few (safe) overtaking places. Dirty country roads covered in slippery mud and shit from farms - and the smell of horse manure, silage, pig slurry is disgusting.

So what are the upsides lol??
