Jordan,
In answer to your question, the biggest problem with Kinloss and Lossie are those moaning people up here. No, not the locals, those few vociferous RAF types that always put the place down.
Yes, Moray is a long way north and the nearest decent big town for shopping is 30-45 minutes drive away. However the area is lovely and the locals (if you take the time to get to know them, without slagging them off all the time) are very friendly.
The majority of people I talk to, that are based up here, are very happy. If you come here with a positive attitude you won't spend all your time feeling depressed and longing for the high cost of living, high crime rates and traffic jams of the south. Take a look at how many ex-Forces (RAF and RN) have stayed in the area after handing in the uniform!
You will probably find most of those wanting RAF Moray closed are those that had the attitude that they wouldn't like it before they ever got here, or those that have never even been here (or only spent a couple of days here).
Standing by for a barrage of anti-Jockland rants
MadMark!!!
