I gave quite a tongue-in-cheek response about living in the UK a while back, so here is a more serious, but much shorter, contribution about where I live.
I live in a medium sized village just outside of Birmingham, England's so-called 'second city.' It's growing, with a couple of new housing developments built on nearby fields. It's sad to see so much open space being built on, and a lot of people are worried that before too long the village will just be 'swallowed' by the city.
There is little in the way of amenities: 4 pubs, a convenience store, a couple of butchers, 3 hairdressers and a fruit & veg shop. We have a football team, currently playing in the 9th tier of the English football league.
Not much else to say, really. So here is the view from my house.
