As I live between 2 cities I will describe the other city as nobody has guessed my first.

We all live in grade2 listed Georgian town houses.
We like Jane Austen and Roman remains.

Bath. Iconic.

Fly-tipping capital of the UK. Can buy a mango at 3am. Mucho stabbing and phone snatching.

Where I used to live…

Queen Victoria usually has a traffic cone as a crown. Once very posh, now druggies and deprivation.

I moved to an area well known for locals being “inbred”
