Moving out of London

if it was me id move close enough to still have a high paid london job, but yet outside enough to have a cheap cost of living and housing. im not sure where that would be though and it would likely be a horrible area to have cheap housing.

id likely still want the coast but the coast would be expensive. but if expense wasnt a issue probably kent as i hear good things about kent, but good things probably mean its a millionaires area.

I've a friend who has a house in Manchester but a MOORING in London, thus allowing her to work in London when the work is available or live up north where it's cheaper. (But no better, in my opinion)

If you are going to live in the north Merseyside seems to have way friendlier people than Manchester. I worked all over the U.K. as a service engineer and interacted with people either in a work situation (petrol stations, banks and shops) or when asking them for directions, some areas stand out as having nicer friendlier more helpful people which I guess is what I look for...

Of course, evaluating people as a group based on where they live (or come from) is pretty illegal these days, or at the least will attract harsh criticism, and to be fair even in London or Manchester you will eventually find someone who will tell you where that area is, or offer you a cup of tea whilst you fix their thing, so it's more of a guideline rather than a rule, but it's still discrimininating between people based on their social environment which for some reason an AWFUL lot of social engineering effort has been expended to stop us from doing...

The Midlands where I live has some truly nice spots as well, but if I had my free choice I'd probably choose somewhere in Sussex or towards Cornwall myself, even though Cornwall people don't take easily to strangers.

I like warmth and the sea and areas of nature (mainly to look at but occasionally to traverse). I've found that the majority of people I meet in real life wear a mask to conceal their basic predatory dog-like nature and very few wear a mask to conceal their giving and kind nature. whenever I find myself in a new environment sorting them out will take a long time, and so it's nice to not have to deal with a harsh environment or concrete jungle whilst doing that. 

I do think it's important to keep in mind issues of safety when evaluating a location and the people who are part of it. There are places in the US I won't ever go even though I resemble others -on the surface it might be safe. It doesn't take much for someone to get angry at us, assert their cognitive bias and expectations. I don't think it has much to do with where they come from. But a group as a collective may have accumulated in an area and attract others who are similar. Likewise, I've been places where I didn't look like others and did need to think about safety.
