    There are craft ale pubs in Swindon so I growing a beard, if male, and riding a Fixie will be ok.

    To be fair Swindon is as nice Mitcham.

    Though Mitcham is not far from Ikea.

    Lots of London councils are now giving people the choice of move elsewhere in the country or we won't house you. I guess these people need to decide whether they want to be housed in London in tulip accommodation or elsewhere in the country in nicer accommodation.
    Then that right needs to be removed.

    London is full.

    These "people" need to be moved to the cheapest place in the country. Their children taken into care. And be sterilised.

    Luckily we have lots of money generated by our visitors and our membership of an unmentionable organisation.

    It is close to Mitcham Tram station so there is public transport access.
    Well is sounds like a great location for transport.
