Give me your opinion in 15 years.
No, in truth, I quite like Brittany.
The rest of France is shite though. |

Hi There!
Dare I admit it but instead of living in beautiful Paris, I'm in Sunny St Etienne!! Been here for 4 years now. It's just a bit far to get to gigs and noone seems to want to play here - no surprise really, lol!
It was cheaper to get a flight back to London for the Hammersmith gig than to get to the Bataclan!!! |

Haha, I've got a way to go til I make it 15 years, we'll see. Although Brittany is FAR too close to the UK. We at least get better weather and good wine, yeh! |

Why too close? I like the proximity. It means we can get the best of both worlds:
France:
> Cheap but decent wine
> Health service
> Cuisine
> Childhood friends
U.-K.:
> Business oportunities
> Hobbies (not a French forte)
> Pubs
> My family
> Cooking |

I was in France a few years earlier and they were nice but not good at no fluency in french for me.
The sites are good viewing, and the food is eating too, but would not want to stay there more than a week or days! |

Too close because I wanted to escape!!!
Aaaaah, a good pub with decent beer. Now there's a thought, *sighs*
Well, good to meet you guys but got to go, the hypermarket awaits. Oh joy ...... |
