Yes. Can't wait to get away from here. I feel sorry for the people that choose to come to our university, though, since they soon realise that they're going to have a very boring three years.

Before I left for uni, yeah I hated it. There's only a few shops and they're all the same- mainly charity shops, gift shops, and the same type of restaurants. The people are stuck in a timewarp of like the 50's and are very village mentality. It can get very boring but when I've been in a big city for a while I like coming home to it.
I was bored of mine after 5 mins, i hope to leave and never come back.

I'm not at all. I love Preston, and could happily live here forever.
However, as it is, I'm moving to Newcastle in May to spend the rest of my life there - and I imagne that being even better, what with there being much more to do. :biggrin:
Used to like it. Then found that just nothing goes on here - there are only two places worth going on a sat nite in my hometown, and one of them is a **** hole.

I love my hometown but I wouldn't want to live here for my whole life.
Mine's crap.

It's a smallish commuter town, so during the daytime it's like a ghost town except you see the odd elderly woman strolling past.

It's got decent transport links though; 45 minute train to London, 20 minute drive to the nearest big shopping mall and a few other shopping areas dotted around it.

Wow, I feel like I'm doing GCSE Geography, talking about my town like that. *shudder*
It's famous, and cool.
But it gets a bit tiresome after a while. Too many people looking for the meaning of life and hating mobile phones and wifi.

But I know most people, and love the countryside :smile:
I can't wait to move away. I generally, don't mind the village I live in, but the nearest town to me is awful. It's so incredibily dull, infested with loud mouth gobby chavs and there was, until last year, a murderer on the loose killing prostitutes. It's not that fun to live in really.

I hate swinetown with a passion. It's a hole.
Yeah I am. I think it got voted the UK's most boring town... twice. :frown: It's only really good for the oldies.

yes, its full of chavs, and my town is obssessed with drinking goshh drives me mad. Its abit scruffy too. im moving when im old enough! :smile:
i wouldnt say i have a hometown.

but after 8 years of milton keynes, yeah i would say i was bored of it.
although now living in cambridge, i do love going back there, thats probably just because all my friends are there, and they have better shops, and i know where everything is etc
