EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Probably why Jersey's little neighbor, Sark, does not allow cars.

"Jersey is particularly dependant on cars, with 166,000 vehicle journeys being made on the island everyday, Jersey also has the highest car ownership per head of the population in the world, with car ownership rising by 14% between 1996 and 2001, according to the last Census."

That was in 2005, I suspect it's a lot worse now. Sounds idyllic...

They did also rave about the public transport and how easy it was to use and understand, it's a small island so maybe something has been done, this is just a 3rd person account, anyway, back to reality!

I lived there for a month. IMHO if you have qualies, kids and work in financial services its probably one of the best places you could live for all round quality of life.

You can be surfing after work in half an hour. The traffic really isn't that bad (even though locals complain). I'd cycle or use a scooter to commute... unless I was driving straight to the beach after work.

It's also probably about as quick to get from there back to London as it is from Cornwall. The only issue is the weather can close in quickly and ground flights.

It does have the usual disadvantages of a small town so I'd be less keen to be there in my 20s, but after that....
