I love Exeter and Devon and would move there tomorrow if my life circumstances allowed it. But you and I are biased. The unbiased view is that Devon is a sleepy backwater which is great for surfers and OAPs.It is nonsense, I grew up just outside Exeter and moved away to University at 18. I’m well aware of how desirable it is. Many people my age (mid 30’s) would love to live and work in the SW (in my case there is no work in my field in the region).
There seems to be a weird provincial ‘woe is me’ feeling among folk from Devon that it is miles from anything and impossible to get to.
The reality is that in 3 hrs you can be in London, Birmingham or in my case home in Northampton.
