Astounded? Really? Nick Cave, Paul McCartney and Roger Daltry are not from Sussex and I'm sure all three could choose to live anywhere in the world but they have all chosen Sussex/Brighton. In fact Mr Cave has lived in Brasil, Aus and Germany so far and seems to prefer Brighton.
This. Plus a large brownstone in NYC, an apartment in Tokyo along with a place in Berlin.... plus a lottery win.
On a serious note I have been quite fortunate to live pretty much in the places where I have wanted to live which is London, Brighton and Berlin. I would also love to spend a year...
