      I was referring to people paying so much money for houses in a place that
      a) is horrific
      b) is stupidly unfriendly
      c) is full of cockneys
      d) has no water!

      Ridiculous!
      What's the difference with the rest of UK? At least you get some more money in London.

      p.s. the rest of England almost cost as much anyway.

      pps. Sally Anne must be Janey and I must be Threaded.
      I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          Move, get out? I know it's a hard concept for some to grasp but london contrary to popular belief is not the centre of the universe!

          You work there cos' you earn more, pay up or shut up.

            Well this London property story isn't so amazing...
            In Eastern Europe land prices went over 20 times their value in 3 years, around the major cities (not just one place...)
            I read a story today about a new Romanian billionaire who bought some land for 50k euros in 2002 and sold the land last month for over 1 million euros. This without any major investments in the land itself, only general property development in that area...
            The strange fact is that these new Eastern Europe property tycoons are not smart people at all, some of them even recognized to the press that initially they had some money (a couple of grands in pounds) but without a proper business idea they invested in land without even dreaming of the profits which are cashed now, at an incredible rate of 2000% in 3 years...
            The rest is silence...

              No!!

              I'm on £585 a day in Newcastle.
              My 3 storey (yes, 3 STOREY!!!) house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 downstairs rooms, garden, yard, garage, etc etc cost me £200k.
              if I didn't have my house, I could rent for about £500 a month I reckon, for a 2 bed place in a nice area.
              It takes pretty much everyone I know about half an hour to get to work. I myself pay £4 for a return ticket.
              I can get a treble vodka and mixer for £1.25 at my local.


              Its just not the same. Yous are all barking mad!

                Yeah, but it doesn't make up for being surrounded by thieving Geordies, does it?

                  It beats being surrounded by suicide bombers though.

                    And I'd prefer being referred to as 'me old mucker' instead of 'pet' any day of the week...except I don;t live in London....or GeordieLand for that matter...

                      Must be like living in an episode of Auf Wiedersen Pet.
