If Mumsnet was a country and we were the designers

[rhubarbcrumbles]

What geographical features would you pick and choose?

I'd make it have dramatic coast lines in parts like Norway, long, Northumberland style beaches, the Icelandic glaciers and mountains like the Himalayas with the braided rivers of New Zealand.

What else would be a must have? I'd give each town an independent book store.

Scented sanitary towels would be illegal.

All cities to have a river. Don’t agree with cities that don’t seem to have a proper river.

A long suspension bridge over a wide river.

A guaranteed summer. Dry, warm, very light breeze from 1 June to 30 September.

No high rise blocks. All low level homes set in neighbourhoods. No stigma attached to renting. All kids in the neighbourhood go to the schools that serve it. All schools equal.

Forest planted wisely and extensively so that everyone is able to access it.

Pearls would be widely available at reasonable cost, so we could all have a string or two to clutch whenever necessary.

Mumsnet scarves would be available easily.
There would be a method of air travel which doesn't damage the environment and only takes minutes to cross the globe

Predictable weather.

There would always be some decent snow in winter, but we could cope with it. No grinding to a halt due to half a cm of snow.

Summer would be warm, but not too hot and it would never rain at the weekend or during the holidays, but there would be enough rain (at night, in the week?) so no water shortages.

Nobody would drop litter or spit in the street. Everybody would always indicate correctly at roundabouts, but we wouldn't need too many cars because we'd have proper public transport and cycle lanes.

Lots of rivers, waterfalls and greenery. Forests. Good walks. Lots of breathtaking scenery like the grand canyon etc.

Non pollutiong or fossil fuel using steam trains. With the stations and carriages of the past.

Nice weather, year round but suitable for farming etc.

No single use plastics or disposable stuff.

A more simple, less consumerist life. Every property has a small holding.

Less emphasis on work, more on living.

The houses are eco homes.
