Moving from Cardiff To Tumpy Land, any of you done it ?

[Heathblue]

I'm thinking of selling up and moving on, not that keen on going over the mounting but financially it is appealing, it would be my last move.

The "tumpy" is the mountain on the east side of the valley in Mountain Ash or should I say that was its name when I grew up there in the 50's. Never heard of the expression Tumpy Land.

I've lived all over Cardiff, (Riverside, Adamsdown, Ely, Canton, Cathays, Pontcanna, Roath, Llanedeyrn), tore the arse out it really, so we decided to move to RCT, best move we ever made. Like you said property is more affordable, the natives are friendly and Cardiff's only a short journey away, win, win.

Done it the other way around.
Will probably go back to Caerphilly one day.
Great place 👍

Caerphilly. One of the roughest places in Wales. Makes Merthyr look posh.

Oh dear.

You do realise we've got a castle.

And a massive bit of cheese outside the job centre.

True, but very rough. Mind you nowhere near as rough as Merthyr, the capital of the Work Shy

We don't want you illiterate, uncouth, poor types in Caerphilly. Go and live somewhere else

I think I'd go nuts. I'd miss city life and all it brings unless you're happy to pay £30 for a taxi or get the last train home butt

City life? Its hardly New York.

The valleys etc are basically just suburbs of Cardiff nowadays. Its hardly like moving to the moon.

As a born and bred Cardiffian, who moved to Caerphilly about four years ago, I agree. Caerphilly is more or less a Cardiff overspill. Love it here mind, it's got everything you need. Will probably stay for good.

Yes or a big pile of something. eg Twmp of Stones.

[Elysium]

I thought a twmp was a "hump" rather than a hill - isn't that a bryn?

[Llanedeyrnblue]
