to hate living in the country?

[Hullygully]

IT'S SO BORING I HATE IT I HATE IT

isn't being extremely bothered by someone on a thread titled AIBU to hate living in the country, who says they hate living in the country, a bit of a 1st world problem itself like?

I think you'd have real problems if you lived in the Cotswolds. You'd be able to write millions and millions of posts. Probably more.

By the way, YANBU.

I quite like it though :)

When did it become acceptable to talk about "first world third world" again? Don't you get the Guardian in your neck of the woods?

I think I have the best of both worlds. I live in a large village with shops that are open till late, couple of pubs, chippy, takeaway. Hourly buses and a train station. I can be in the nearest city in ten minutes, loads of shops and a restaurant. I can be in a big city in 45 mins and London in 90 mins.

But I can also step out my door and walk across fields, along riverside paths....

Well, we mostly get blue skies where I am. And no mad cows. Only slightly mad eccentric neighbours.

And never seen a Boden-clad cup-cake making yum mum here either.

No.

They burn the Guardian at the gates of the village.

Only the Times and Torygraph allowed and the Daily Mail for the ladies.

I miss the country. Want to swap? I live in Edinburgh near good schools.

No-one could get interested enough in the Guardian to burn it, surely. Not even in the Cotswolds.

I cycled through a remote village the other week where if you want a bus you have to ring up 24 hours in advance and request it. It will then divert off the normal route to come and get you.

GetOrf You should demand a refund if Rupert Campbell Black has not dropped by.

I hate London because using the underground turns your bogeys black .

The thing to compare is travelling times. We live in the sticks but I can get to a huge variety of theatres/museums within the hour. HOw long would it take most of you to get to/across London ?

Where I live in the Cotswolds (as you insist Karlos) all papers are banned.

oh they have them round here beaver, bwcabws or something?

I've had what I guess most would allow as "real problems" and simultaniously hated living in the countryside with a passion at the same time

real problems are not your answer OP, you'll just hate the country even more if you have to put up with that plus deal with real problems , so, like, don't rush out and get yerself some okay!

One day I was out checking the upduffed ewes with smallest child stuffed into overalls.
Propped kidder into starfished standing position and started to get the job jobbed when I looked round there was no child. I followed the noises of outrage and found smallest one looking like a pissed off, fat overturned tortoise underneath a ewe that was tasting her hair.

SHEEP STOLE MY BABY AND TRIED TO EAT HER. THE WOOLY CUNTS.

That is why I don't like sheeps...

However, I spect I would've let them have her as a sacrifice if it meant not having to move to the city. So I can quite understand your opposite view.
What was fun was puckering the old faces by blatantly living in sin and going into church to deposit the vicar after he ran over our donkey. So I largely manufacture my own entertainment tis true.

I am now going back to reda rest of thread, sorry for diversion. Also we all have problems, for my part I'm GLAD Hully or others don't have mine and if she wants to moan about the fucking country and some of the tossers therein...get all aht girl.

approximately seven hours altogether i suppose iseenodust.....

I live in a one street village. We have no shop, or pub, or entertainment, not even a streetlight. The nearest cinema is only open two days a week and shows films about a month behind the rest of the world. We have a post office, but it's run from a farm in the village and it's only open on Tuesday mornings... I bloody LOVE it here!! If we ever had to leave i'd cry myself into a sodden loo roll covered heap...

I totally understand that if it's not who you are, it must be awful. I lived in London for a year and it was my idea of hell. Have you got friends you could house swap with once a month or something to get your fix?

international that sounds amazing. I want to live there.

I cycled through a remote village the other week where if you want a bus you have to ring up 24 hours in advance and request it. It will then divert off the normal route to come and get you.

That might have been our village! We don't have a pub or shop and you need to book the bus in advance. We do have a (very nice) school within walking distance though.

We do get the Guardian though.

I can beat that, Illage. My dh was run off the moor by a grouse. He was sans firearm at the time and it ran at him, gobbling and clucking in a very cross manner (He says anyway, the big nancy boy). He said that he "moved smartly away". I put it to him that he was a 6 foot 4 male chased off by a small bird. He could not deny it.

I've had lovely days out in Bourton and Evesham, must be a Boden wearing weirdo. I'm suitable chastised.

it was Open House weekend in London this weekend . We went to the Gala Bingo Hall in Tooting (only Grade 1 listed cinema in the world, fact fans) and a ruined chapel in some beautiful almshouses in Peckham. Tip-top. I love visiting the country and reading and watching about it, but living there? Yikes. I'm feeling nervous about the prospect of moving to zone 4. In north London.

Knid whereabouts are you? My mum's in Lincoln so that's why we've been looking there, but we don't want to be tooooo near and your village sounds lovely
