    And to think, in the 1970's, Sandbanks used to be where people lived if they couldnt afford Bournemouth!

      As is the case almost everywhere in the world. Up to the high water mark anyway.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Good point!

        I wonder where is down-at-heel now that will be trendy in 30 years.

        Birmingham? Swindon?

                I would!

                I predict the next boomtown is South-East London. Close to the countryside - great links to the city/westend.

                  I predict the return of the mining towns. They didn't close because they ran out of coal. Got to be economically viable to reopen them soon if not already.

                  There's at least one tin mine in Cornwall re-opened recently.
