I live in Poole, Dorset.
Millionaires playground for the elite and then just a good place to Skate, Surf and drink for others ( Me ) couple of decent pubs but have to travel into local Bournemouth for rock bars or decent gig venues. Decent local scene for the heavy music aficionado. The divide between the upper and working class makes for an interesting mix and a good place to be a black sheep ( also me ).
I was born in Paisley, Glasgow and got moved here early on for a better life. I cant really argue against Poole being a better place to grow up and also bring my kids up. Gets too hot for my liking though.
