Prejudging about where you live

[FennyBridges]

I live in a lovely village in the south west. I am fed up with people locally making judgements about it and about the people who live there. So what if it has a council estate? Some people have said that in such and such they are a bunch of inbreds. In such and such they are really rough. It's a beautiful village. It's not by the sea. We never grew up here but just loved being in the deep countryside with good roads to link to various towns and cities. We have a lovely house, far superior to any of these people saying this. Why would anyone be so rude as to slate my village? AIBU that people should just say positive things about where others choose to live?

It's totally getting on my nerves.

Oh bother, the horse if called Fenny, that was the whole point

Fenny the horse. Much nicer than Fanny the horse. Fenny is autocorrected on my phone as 'Deny' Is yours autocorrected as Fanny? Glad I'm not a Fanny.

Don't people say that jokingly about most rural areas? I think you are overreacting, you like where you live, stuff em.

Fenny We luffs Fenny very much

People say all sorts of shit, don't they?

We moved right across the local secondary school to much tooth sucking and dire warnings. It was absolutely fine.
Then, the school was torn down (moved a couple of hundred yards down the road) and there was more concern for our safety etc due to the building works. Now there is a new estate were the school once was and some are concerned about the 'type' of people moving in there - you know, like young couples and people starting out on the property ladder as is befitting to 1 and 2 bedroom flats and small town houses.
Yes, it's like the Bronx here. Not.
I love where I live

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!!

And in my village a lovely lady feeds my cats when we're away, I wave at people getting their papers from the shop as we leave for work/school, the shop ladies ask after us every visit, three old ladies drop in presents on DS1 and 2's birthdays, the person who used to own the house in the '80s fixed the guttering and lets me cut hydrangeas for my fireplace. Etc.

I'm telling you, this is the place to live!

Hi everyone, we're thinking of moving to truro or surrounding areas. I am interested to hear what primary and secondary schools around there are like. We have 3 boys who are aged 3, 9 and 12. All are currently in good schools here which makes the decision harder.

Redruth, Camborne?

Not judging, I live in the Clays

Sorry that was to Fenny, should have checked dates on posts.

Harrassed you might be better off posting on the local page, as this fred is a month old.

Let it go! I live in a posh place- when I mention it, people always clarify, East Poshplace? Which is slightly less posh
Those who live on the posher side if the street always mention it and envy those who live in the even posher part of the village. And they probably wish they live in Chelsea, where they all wish they also had a chalet in Klosters. Don't play the game- no one can win!'
