How come everyone on MN is 'rural'?

[managedmis]

I'm not rural

Some are, some aren’t.

They also have a dh who is high up in govt and knows what's going on

I thought everyone on MN was from London!

I'm not

I think many people like to say they're rural.. but really they are just the last house on a road. It does strike me the number of people who say they are rural with no access to public transport etc.

I’ve noticed a lot of posters who say they live in flats; that doesn’t sound very rural.

It often feels like the vast majority are in cities and can't imagine not having Uber/Just Eat etc

I live next to a field of cows.

But on a 70s housing estate. Not really 'rural'.

Everyone on MN who has a teenage child always describes them as “sensible”

Op I have had exactly the same thought the last few weeks 😂

Same here count.

I’m suburban, and my teenage ds veers between sensible and moronic.

We’re definitely rural when we’re home. Maybe people are just starting to notice the rural people who were there all the time?

There are definitely flats in rural places

I’ve always thought it was quite a mix

i really do though

i live on a mountain with mountains surrounding us all sides in the valleys of south wales

think like the villages off stella

Me neither but one of my neighbours once said to me 'when you live rurally like we do', we live next to some fields but we're also in a small town by an airport and a couple of miles from a major city. I guess some people have different ideas of what rural means

I’m rural! I think everyone on here lives within the M25 and has a nanny

I'm rural. I couldn't afford to live in the nearest urban area because rural is cheaper round here. DH is definitely not high up in anything

I really do as well, up a hill, up a valley, miles away from anything in Scotland. DH is a farmer though. And he doesn't know what's going on. I'm surprised if he could tell you much about lock down to be honest, he's lambing so it's fairly usual for him. He did moan that the garage was shut when he went to village.

Yes a suspicious number of posters “live very rurally”

We live in a market town now but I was born and bred in London. I could not go any more rural than this.

Im fairly rural.

I have neighbours out the front but out the back, nothing, just fields.
Deers in my garden every day, Horses at the end of the garden.

Nearest shop is about 40 minutes walk away. As well as nearest bus stop.
Nearest train station is 15 / 20 miles away

I live in a flat in the town centre. Couldn't think of anything worse than being rural. Everything I need is right on my doorstep.

I noticed that

I live in a small city in a rural county.
