Відповідь:Where are the best villages, towns and small cities which are a pleasure to live in, but still offer a decent commute to the capital?
For those who don’t want to live in London, commuting is a necessary evil. Dinner parties in town are set alight on the topic, for which the shorthand is ‘doing the BM’ (the Big Move).
‘These days, when both parents often work, the move to the country is more complicated,’ explains Belinda Aspinall, who set up the website lifeafterlondon.com, on which people can share advice and tips on where and when to move. ‘It’s not easy to juggle school runs with both parents doing long commutes.’
The good news is that it’s perfectly possible to find rural (and cultural) idylls within an hour’s radius of a London terminus.
For the purpose of this exercise, we’ve picked out the most attractive and convivial villages, towns and small cities that boast a fast and regular train service to the capital – that is, a choice of more than two trains taking less than an hour between 7am and 8am on weekdays – or amenities that simply can’t be beaten.
We’ve taken on board an assumption that no one wants to drive for much more than 15 minutes from home to the station and have only included places that aren’t just commuter dormitories, but which boast enough of a community spirit to support a village shop.
Season-ticket prices are for the journey to the London terminus only and are for standard travel (some routes have high-speed services that attract a higher rate).
Пояснення:
My favourite TV show is 'Merlin'. That's the most amazing TV series I've ever watched. It's about love, magic and friendship. I'm not able to express my feelings completely writing it, you just have to watch it by yourself to see how great it is. It shows us values that should be followed by every man. I've seen it four times in a row and I still keep watching it sometimes. I'm not ashamed to say that it makes me cry at times. The actors' acting is amazing. I can feel like it was happening for real.
❷ I never watch the news. I just read it from time to time on the Internet. It is so because watching news on TV doesn't make any sense to me. They keep repeating the same information the whole day.
❸ I usually watch 'Merlin' and 'Supernatural'. There are some more, but these two I've just named are the best ones to me.
❹ My favourite character is 'Piper' (Holly Marie Combs) from 'Charmed'. I also like Merlin (Colin Morgan) and Arthur (James Bradley) from 'Merlin'. Their abilities as actors are just incredible.
❺ I can't bear adverts. Whenever I see any, I get furious. It's just too much of those everywhere. That's why I rarely watch TV. All the films are interrupted every five minutes just to show a commercial of a new tube of toothpaste. That's ridiculous.
❻ Well, actually it is my little sister who uses the remote control a lot in my house. She loves watching nature films and she doesn't allow anyone to switch channels. When someone does so, she always screams. At least she watches educational films.
