Average price of London home to reach £400K

[SallyAnne]

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

A valid point!

[Flubster]

It beats being surrounded by suicide bombers though.

Tyneside is next. You heard it here first.

Nah they'll keep striking at the heart it gives them more 'cred' on Aljazeera.

[Francko]

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!

I think you have been extremely lucky on both sides. It's very rare to get a contract for that money and also to find a house at that price in Newcastle. Once I was going for a contract in Newcastle and from a first look prices didn't look that different. The price for a studio in a nice area was about 7-800 a month as far as I remember. Perhaps, yes, drinks are much cheaper.

HAHAHHAHAA...oh this is so true!

I was in Devon during the summer and was stunned by the complete lack of jihadi! Not even some of those darkies!

The real funny thing is the further north you travel the cheaper everything gets while the further south, south east and south west you travel the more expensive things get!

It's done to keep the plebs out...

[Bernard Common]

All untrue. We're only unfriendly to hicks from the sticks visiting from up north. All cockneys now live in Essex. And as for water, we drink Evian.

The water tastes like sh1t, it must be all those pollutants. Look what it's done to SAS

It's done to keep the plebs out...

Or keep them in ;-)

[DaveB]

What do you think we put in the Pasties

The best bit is we get to export them all through Ginsters and they end up eating themselves, so to speak. Thats why no-one in Cornwall eats Ginsters

So what you're saying is that the invasion of neocockney's that Cornwall experienced has actually helped the local population?

I suppose ever since bush declared a war on tourism they needed something to prop up the local housing market!

[expat]

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!"

What's the difference with the rest of UK?

Pretty much all of that lot.
