For sure, it's not perfect. But compared to the rest of the UK, you lot are pretty well off -- generally there's a pub and cafe within a short distance, and free access to most of the green spaces for exercise. Plus you've got plenty of buses.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty significantly better than my home in Bristol.
