Not over keen.

How close do you live to the nearest City ?

20 miles

Do you live near to the coast, say 10 miles or so ?

No, We used to live in Hastings but prefer the country side now.


If needed do you have a good public transport system?

I live in the sticks, but buses are very frequent, half hourly to Cardiff ( nearest city) or to Hereford in the opposite direction,which means that I could travel in either direction to either nearest town 3 miles away on that bus.
Nearest train station , but only goes to Cardiff is 4 miles away, not sure if there is a bus service there from here.
lol we have 3 cars in the family and 4 drivers, so aren't too up on public transport.

Do you watch television often ..?

OH has it on all evening but I sometimes read or go into the room where the computer is, getting a lap top next week so will be in the same room as the TV
[ I like Hereford, husband's sister lives nearby in Leominster]

Have you got freeview in your area yet ?

Yes, we've recently got a new tele, fully updated spec which picks it up, We live in S Wales but have an aerial which picks up the Midlands channels in addition to the Welsh and have Sky , even with our old tel we picked up freeview, but never used it...still don't. Neighbours with just a 'Welsh' aerial don't get it.
I like Hereford but am more acquainted with Cardiff for shopping, am halfway between the 2.

If you have one , most peeps do ( my 90 yr old dad had one ) what mobile phone to you have , does it have a camera..?

I have a motorola, small and takes pictures but not that new.


Do you down load photographs to your computer?

Only from my digi camera, phone doesn't have one.
Everyone else's mobile in the household has a camera, think mine is about on it's way out. I've had more than my money's worth out of it.lol
