Id be minded to try Northumberland, or County Durham. Shout up if you need advice, MrsGK and I are in Teesside.
Don't tell them that, we don't want anymore Suvenors coming up here................
Miss Vamps wants us to move to Hertfordshire, the nice part, I would be lucky to be able to buy a garage, let alone a house, I know because I lived down there for 7 years, in the nineties..............
