    It was a great place to be brought up and is still a great place to work in.

    It's affluent and pretty, but has become over developed and a bit Hugh Grant.

    Not really, 'a bit hugh grant' doesn't actually mean anything you see? Happy to help.

    Some weird places in that list. Only Alnwick would attract me. Never been to Durham but hear it’s nice.

    i'm a big fan of Beverley. It's just a bit more of a PITA getting onto the motorway network which ruled it out for me.

    Hugh Grant is an actor.

    Google him or look on Wikipedia.

    Beverley has become a bit actor.

    That makes far more sense. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    It probably has better Internet connectivity available than any other similarly sized town in the UK.

    It was one of the first places to get it widely, which was what prompted my previous post.

    I used to love living in Beverley and really didn't want to move out, but I'd spent ages unsuccessfully trying to find a place on North Bar Without/New Walk and an opportunity came up to develop a derelict building elsewhere, which was too good to turn down.

    And it's better now than it was then.

    I find it very Ewan McGregor. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I don’t think you’ll find many Hugh Grant types on Swinemoor estate. There’s an affluent bit like there is in most towns. There’s also **** bits. I just moved to Cottingham from Beverley and I miss it. Brough is overdeveloped and a bit ****, maybe thats what you were thinking of?
