[Wilem]

Yer our town is used to being near the bottom of the pile

[Mark]

LOL Meh we are a capital -Proud

I wish the UK was more christmassy. :frown:

[Wilem]

OH GOD NO

it's bad enough the few houses covered in cheap neon in our poor lil town.

[Mark]

Not a few houses, I mean as in the councils stumping up more money, instead of wasting it on pathetic line painting, which they always get wrong! I mean dont they charge enough to do this?!

[GayComputerDude]

the city is beautiful - well - at least the wealthy parts -- the decorations are amazing

go into the suburbs and it is all those airblown things on everyone's lawn
LOL

it really is all just a big show

[Mark]

Yeh but in america the whole community aspect is different and the plots of land on some homes are huge! You rarely get that here, well unless you have over £500k to spend.

[GayComputerDude]

true

the city is crowded

but get outside the city .. into the suburbs .. not bad

go another 30 miles - lots of space

and they still complain it's too crowded

I know alot of people that won't come into the city because "it's too crowded"

and I think .. you have no idea what you are missing

[Mark]

Yeh but your crowded, is basically most the UK. I mean by me, there was this tiny shop, you could probs fit 2 vans on the site. Its now being made into a house. Any bits of land left is becoming these ugly new homes, which alot of people, (young trendy, foreigners, councils), are buying, and in turn not fitting in with the community, which loses the whole community aspect over here. Everyone looks after themselves, screw everyone else.

I know I know!

We have alot of space!

but here .. there's alot of people that are used to huge amounts of space that are seeing it dwindle

and they're upset

and prices rise and rise and rise

curious ......

a 1 bedroom apartment by you .. how much money?
