mum n dad sold up and retired back in the 90s , they lived in blackburn , moved to walney island (barrow in furness) to a new mobile park place , quite nice actually , however 90% of the residents were southeners (retired jailers/school teachers/cops etc) who had sold up down south , banked it and moved north for a cheaper lifestyle , hoping the money would last till they died
reading my dads will last september the two witnesses were contacted by my sister , both still living there , one 98 the other 102 , they both were collected from barrow and attended my dads funeral

The only jobs going are in high tech industries and you need a high IQ, a good degree, good communication skills and a positive attitude.
So I'm afraid that rules most southern nances out.
