If you could live anywhere in Europe?

[weltweit]

I thought they used the same numbers as us. 1, 2, 3... etc

We have seventy and they have soixante-dix !

We have eighty, they have Quatre-vingts !

wtf

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Four-twenty nineteen is a bit weird, as is writing the numeral one as a more civilised person would inscribe a seven.

E2a - so that was what he meant.

Can I change my answer to a yacht sailing around the med? I'd steer it down the coast of Africa to The Gambia for the winter though.

Four-twenty nineteen .. indeed, so illogical to me, is it logical to the French or are they beyond redemption?

wtf

So 70 is 70 and 80 is 80?
What's confusing about that?

London. (ooh, that's handy).

This is partly because I love this city, I would be very, very unhappy in the countryside - and also because Although I have a head-start on both French and Italian, I think even if I became fluent, I would miss the nuance and cultural references that you get as a native speaker. I'm very verbal - words are super important to me - and the idea of being on the back foot in verbal expression is just horrible.

So, I've a choice between the cities of the UK and Ireland. London wins every time.

London isn't really UK though really is it?

 

[Spymaster]

London. All these other places are nice enough to visit but if I wanted to live somewhere else, I'd move there. London's got everything I want.

 

[Libertad]

Sealand.

Of course it is

 

[N_igma]

London isn't really UK though really is it?

Where do you think it is?

 

[machine cat]

Yeah but it's not like everywhere else is it. Double red lines wtf?

 

[Fez909]

I'm not very well travelled, so I don't know what a lot of countries in Europe are like, never mind cities. I could easily live in Berlin or Lisbon, though.

Berlin now, Lisbon if I was a bit older. Both relatively cheap for capital cities. Both 'cool'. Both laid back. I imagine it gets a bit too cold in Berlin in winter, though.

 

[moomoo]

Tuscany. Wine, food, near endless rolling countryside, Florence and Siena on the doorstep and Rome not a million miles away.

I used to spend every summer in Grossetto as a child.

For me it would be Sorrento.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Croatia , one of the islands. not sure which one

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Krakow. Just really love the city.

Amsterdam would be cool, Tallinn or Prague as well but I'd really like a little flat in central Krakow

 

[catinthehat]

Anywhere in the Snaefellsness area or the highlands of Scotland ...Helmsdale or similar. But outside a village or town. I don't want a glimpse of other humans.

 

[Chick Webb]

Donostia. Lovely town, nice weather, gigs and lefty politics, the beach on the doorstep. Strolling around the old town drinking cheapo red wine.

It's too expensive. I'm leaving.

The Danish island of Samsø which I lived on for a few months when I was 21. Stunningly beautiful, lovely people, amazing nature, very long summer days and, I've just discovered, it's now completely powered by green energy.

See ya!

That doesn't mean it isn't in the UK. And double red lines are a good idea

Espira-de-Conflent.Spent some time there would live there if I could,Catalonia in France,sublime.

 

[Riklet]

Could definitely live for a bit or longer in London, Berlin, Marseille, Prague, Tenerife, Granada, Barcelona, Lisbon, maybe Porto. Dunno for how long tho! Sarajevo or Belgrade maybe.

Mostly would try these cos I liked the atmosphere of the place. It was naturally beautiful, culturally varied, safe and fairly friendly. With the exception of London they are all pretty much affordable too.

There are places Ive listed I would get perhaps fed up of the endless tourists but then they are genuinely popular for a reason and have charm. Generally they are big enough to keep me entertained but near to some pretty amazing scenery and nature.

What's the difference between red and yellow lines? Seriously.
