Houses -1% in December - WE ARE DOOMED!

[sasguru]

There no such thing as a safe place in London. There are ghettos spread everywhere, even near Chelsea and Kensington. Yet, british people are happy when they can buy some rubbish in a nice package. That would explain the reason why there are some many overpriced shops which sell the same stuff the cheap ones do at double the price (and people keep buying and are proud of it!!!).

Yes, let's make the culture more like Italy, not!

Yeah but you live in the middle of nowhere and your property costs 50p.

Yes, stupid aren't I?

No, every country has got good and bad sides. But certainly I wouldn't spend a fortune to live anywhere in London. All places have more or less the same amount of chavs/green/pollution/services/crime/etc.. Just have a look at the crime statistics, you'd be surprised that even Chelsea has got the same levels as Croydon, for example. One street is nice, turn around the corner and it became hell. Yet, the former costs three times more than the latter. You pay only for the postcode. No, thanks, I don't care. I'd rather just do what Mordac does, live in Surrey and claim that you live in Richmond.

You could always move to Napoli Francko!!

You could always move to Napoli Francko!!

Or Devon!

BTW What's going on at Plainmoor, SB? Will they close down?

Well, there are nice parts in Napoli. Vomero is a beautiful neighborhood. It's not anywhere close to the Spanish neighborhoods and you don't risk to be shot there (well, that's already an advantage in Naples ).

If only Maradona was still playing....

Yes it's true London avoidsw ghettoes. Just as well. The rest is bollocks.
Chelsea is infinitely better in all respects than Croydon. Even the chavs behave better there because they realise they are lucky to live there.
So don't try to justify your crap postcode.

It's true, I shouldn't have used the word "ghetto" as indeed there aren't in London. But London is made with infinite bad spots alternated with good areas just everywhere. And as such, there is no idillic place to live. The quality of life under many respects remains fairly similar in Croydon and in Chelsea for this reason. Sure there are a few more nice restaurants and pubs in Chelsea, but I wouldn't pay 5-10 times more just for that....

p.s. and chavs are chavs, no matter where they are from....

They are in freefall wendigo. Can't see anything else for them but Conference next season. Still, at least they will be able to have derby matches with Exeter again!
