Nope you must pin your colours firmly to one mast, and declare your allegience to the East Midlands. Deserters will be summarily executed.

Oh yes you'll belong here
Baslow is gorgeous, very very jealous.
So hello soon to be new neighbour, and welcome to the regional board. You can post here with all your regional requirements for the move.
YAY!!!! Thanks Kat!!
I have a LONG list of things i need to organise for the move... as you know top priority is what plate collection to go for...
This seems an easier way to spend my time compared to how i am going to move my life and collected animals 200miles in a month....
Glad the Baslow area is OK, been looking for ages and heard some horror stories about some areas! xxx

I know someone who has just moved to Bakewell (which will be your nearest town) and they are loving it, have settled in really quickly and found it very welcoming. The husband is the curate at some of the local churches so but I don't think Baslow is part of his patch, though Rowsley is.
I'm about half an hour south of you.
Did you realise that you will be within walking distance of Chatsworth Horse Trials?

Think the house is about 3 miles away, so would be a long walk, but will happily give it a go

Don't make offers like that, you might have them accepted! The OH has a stall at the horse trials so we will probably be there all three days!

Born in Lancashire (so have applied for dual status in that forum) but lived in the East Midlands for 10 years - first near Southwell and then between Lincoln and Newark. We all still have good friends there and hubby is always on the lookout for jobs that would get us back. I therefore pledge thee my troth that it's the only place were I feel like I'm 'at home'.

Weeeellllll according to Wikipedia Northampton is in the East Midlands. But apparently you get BBC Look East TV and ITV Anglia Today......... So it seems you can either choose to stay with us lovely east midlanders, or hang out with those weirdos from East Anglia..... up to you.
Or you could just read both boards and see how they develop.

Ahhh if you watch BBC local news every day for a week it evens up. They quite obviously are too tight/lazy to do stories from all the different counties each day so they rotate it. So Monday it'll be Nottingham day and all the stories will come from Nottingham even if they aren't really about Nottingham, Tuesday will be Leicester, Wednesday Derby, Thursday Lincoln, and then Friday normally back to Nottingham (they always go there most). If a big story happens somewhere then they shake it up but all the stories will come from the same place.
It could be worse, when I lived in Derby in pre-digital days our tv had to be tuned to the Sutton Coldfield transmitter to get a decent signal so our local news was basically "The Birmingham News featuring occasional guest appearences from Stoke and Wolverhampton"
Now if you have cable or Satellite you can chose which region to watch.
