I live by the sea, nextdoor to Brighton...
Which means im not living in a typical quiet seaside town, but one that's filled with foreign tourists and foreign coaches full of school children/ college students. Mainly the japanese funnily enough, who seem to have some kind of fascination with the area.
[Im still persuing my dream of finding an english speaking japanese girl who I can chat up lol.]
There's no litter, barely any crime so it would seem, lots of normal people, with a few emo's dotted about the place and barely any chavs. Some would think of it as a paradise I suppose.
However, im originally from a very common town up north named Burnley, so im typically used to the exact opposite. Chavs everywhere, drunks, fights, crime, dodgy people and litter as far as the eye can see.
Best place ive ever lived was Surrey, near Epsom. The most expensive property area in England at the time [maybe still.] with lots of well off people, which makes all the adults rather stuck up/boring. But all the younger people are decent and I lived right next to the major train line and station...which meant easy trips all over the South East, from London to Brighton. So you couldn't complain for lack of a nightlife/things to do.
Only problem I have with living down south is they're potentially a lot more rude/unsociable.
Back in Burnley I literally knew everyone for miles, not because I was immensely popular but just because it was such a close community. Everyone was ten times more friendly.
Down south I haven't even gotten to know my nextdoor neighbours, and often fall into situations such as me stepping out into the road with a red light on, some idiot ignoring the red light and almost running me over, then HIM deciding to shout at me for being in the way.
Ive also suffered much patronising, namely at a University interview from a uni professor who talked down to me, in my opinion, due to my accent. Also people dismissing me for jobs because of my voice, or saying im uncapable of handling telephone calls because im not immensely posh.
