Somewhere I would love to live also. Whilst I can't say Basingstoke makes me proud (where I grew up), I do miss the scenary near my parents place when I am away and the country pubs where chavs dont run riot and spend the evenings looking for fights. Nice cycling or driving down the lanes and looking at the old cottages.
