Because face it where you live sucks. Either it's some grim rainy place oop north with no work and your whippets got emphysema. Or the grim, urban ghetto of London over run by gangs of assylum seeking former Olympic athletes, with knives and no sense of humour.
Or even worse. Wales.
So which fictional place do you fantasize about living in? Would it be dandy too live with Pat in Pontypandy?
Sootyj first.
1 Castlerock because Stephen King is awsome.
2 The Shire, there's beer everywhere and the locals are a bunch of short arses he could push around.
3 Skaro cos Daleks are well gay.
