If you have the money and don't need to live in a city there are plenty of places in North Yorkshire/Cleveland where you can live virtually crime free. I'm sure there will be the odd motorist breaking the speed limit, the odd under-age drinker but nothing major. Most towns in North Yorkshire will have areas with very little crime as will Middlesbrough.

A good point my friend...we certainly will not be living in a city, in fact Northumberland does not have a city, an interesting fact I came across while searching and it's looking like we're gonna end up somewhere there..

cheers..

There's always Canada - not much crime in the countryside - but you'll need a warm coat

I so envy all of you Europeans who can go from country to country so seamlessly with little fear of losing everything you've built over a lifetime. I'd like to stow myself away in someones luggage and whisked away to somewhere that sanity reigns.
