There is no place like home―as long as it is far enough away, it seems.

Britain has become a nation of nomads（流浪者），with nearly half of us living more than 100 miles from the town or village where we grew up, research shows.

The trend is being fuelled by the Internet, better communications and property wealth.

People who move away fit into four separate categories―Sheep, Hens, Cows or Pigs.

Sheep are people who change home for economic and emotional peace. Hens are home and environment care-seekers. Cows are career or work shifters, while pigs are people caught up in grand parental support. It is far from the common believed idea of Coronation Streets, where close-knit generations of the same family live within a few streets of each other throughout their lives. Less. Than 20 percent of people now live in the town where they were born. Instead, young adults move away to find work, get married or seek adventure.

Many use the Internet to work from a home which need not be within easy traveling distance of their workplace.

Also joining the moving crowd are older people who either move to be near grandchildren or retire to new homes.

One in ten of those who do make away makes a complete break, and now lives 500 miles or more from where they grew up.

Women are likely to leave as men, a sign of independence that would not have excited in the 1950s and 60s.

People in the North-East, North-West, Yorkshire and Scotland are the most likely to live in the community where they were born, the study found.
