Keynsham

That's K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M for those that remember the big L...

Anyhow, I'm thinking of relocating there to be closer to the local commercial centres as my bones are getting s bit creaky for all these long commutes (currently 2 hours each way, folks).

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience of living in Keynsham and what there is to recommend about the place? Being smack bang between Bath and Bristol is a start I guess.

I worked there once. There is nothing to recommend it.

Ooooh! There are jobs there too?

Wasn't defence related by any chance?

Being slap bang between them means that it gets ALL the crappy cross commuting traffic. The A4 towards Saltford and Keynsham is rammed solid most weekends.

As for Keynsham, I drive through it a lot. Normally at speed with the doors locked

I preferred Felphersham. A few odd ones - must remember to visit Elf World though.

Well I guess there are other ways in to Bath e.g. via 2 Headed Man.

Great place if you are really hanging for a few rocks of crack though.

Oh well, the Chandag Road area looks ok & it seems a lot more salubrious than Midsomer Norton.

It's all relative I guess

No thats tulipe as well. I have seen people fall asleep in that queue and not cause any disruption to the traffic. You also get the added bonus of serious accidents on the junction thanks to people jumping lights/straddling white lines. I would be more tempted to go north of the M4 and find somewhere that is easier to use the M4 as the conduit.

Is Midsomer Norton where they had the idea for Midsomer Murders?
