I have just got a 6 month stint working with a client in Brighton on the south coast of England, I like Brighton its very laid back, its by the sea obviously and I get to lots of bike racing in the new season, and there are not too many people who give a shit what university you went to unlike some places I could mention ;-)
So what your ideal?
and not a word about the workplace :)

so, do you mean "where would you like to live?"
