"I've lived here all my life and I've never seen it this bad".

No, I haven't lived here all my life, so that wrong for a start. ::)

I think you would be surprised.
At least 4 people in the MIL street have lived there for over 60 years but admittedly not all their lives
I know some pensioners who have lived in Barwell village all their lives and both have never been out of Leicestershire.
My last UK neioghbour had never been out of Britain-couldn't see the point

That sums up alot of people in Roffey... no imagination :-\

Forget which programme it was on[some police drama such as Midsomer Murder or the like]but one character asked another "Have you lived here all your life"?and the answer was "Not yet I haven't"!

My mother never went abroad as they were countries full of foreigners. :o :o :o My dad only did once, with work, to a conference in America, otherwise he wouldn't have done either. They both extensively toured around different parts of the UK when they were young, but never had any interest in going anywhere else. To their generation, why would you want to, England was the centre of the world, the leading economic power with its empire until WWII, then it all went to the dogs was their mindset.
I think you would be surprised at the number of people that live in the same area for all of their lives. A neighbour who died a few years ago, inherited his victorian house when his mother died, and told everybody he was born there. So it was his home for all of his life. Still in different towns and villages in the UK you get clusters of inbreds with the same surnames.
Until the advent of the railways in the 1840's, unless you were in the army or navy, you may have never travelled outside of your town or village. This especially applied to women, where they they typically had 6 to 12 children to bring up.
Wars and military service was the most likely reason for men to do so before the 1840's unless you were a merchant or like Lord Opti part of the landed gentry, when prep school, university and a European tour was considered essential education.

Been accused of similar re curry ;)

I talked with the MIL last night.
One of the four people I mentioned earlier is in her late 80's and has only ever left the village to go to Narborough (bigger village) and on rare occasions to Leicester.
I think theirs will be the last generation to ever be so insular
