It's quite nice, and there are some nice places to eat, drink and go for coffee. Personaly I get bored shitless of it in about 30 minutes but it is fairly cheap and not really that rough when you consider the other shitty little villages around Bath.
Mind you I find Bath as boring as hell these days but if you do want to go to clubs and do the big social thing live there and commute. I think as much as I hate to admit it I would go for the quiet life in Frome and enjoy not having to travel far to work.
My brother seems to like living in Frome and still has no problem doing the gay party boy thing one way or another so maybe it's ok.

Interesting about your brother.
Being a puff in rural Somerset isn't exactly a bunch of laughs, only county in England without a gay bar if I recall.
Though things are slightly different now with the tintin and shizzle.
Well to be fair I think he's had a hard time of it, but he's not really the 'blue oyster bar' type anyway.
It's a wyrd stretch of land, that which is trapped east of the Severn, west of the M5 and north of Bristol. Mainly flat and featureless, the ditches flood annually, making the place look half reclaimed from the sea. They breath the combined pollution of the motorways and Avonmouth, but thankfully the nuclear power plant has shut down now.
I worked there for 4 year, and still feel a little touched by the area now. In a dirty way.
(And what sort of fucking county is South Gloucestershire? No major city, and the council offices in Thornbury and Yate. The only benefit was the cheaper council tax...)

South Glos is a very strange area. It was bodged together from Kingswood and Northavon when Avon was abolished. Bristol did attempt a land grab at the time, arguing that it would make far more sense for Filton, Kingswood, Hanham etc etc to be in the city rather than a weird half rural half urban boomerang shaped neither here nor there local authority.
For once, BCC was right - those areas should be in Bristol but they're not and it makes no sense.

In addition to the interesting station roof some of the streets have little rivery things running through them - in the middle of the pavement.
I ran away to Frome when I was 15 due to being besotted by "Dereck James Disco" s assistant. But his mum put milk bottles on the table so I went home. It was in the seventies.

Looks like I've managed to get the job, but decided against moving to Frome and going to up sticks to Bristol instead, seeing as I'll probably end up spending my time there.
Incidentally, the whole situation reminds me of Hot Fuzz. I'm going to work from a big department in a big building to a tiny little branch with 2 people in it in this quaint little village.
*makes note to self to bring loads of guns*

They pretty much said I can start when I want so it all depends on how the house hunting goes really. I'm thinking mid-oct/early-nov.
Think this all calls for a few quiet drinks in celebration next week.
