Born Hunter 17,910 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Spent three years living in Lboro, some of the girls are stunning but out numbered by lads at about 3:1. Decent scenery and country south of the town if you fancied a good walk. Other than that theres just the usual town stuff, pubs and snooker hall etc etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
