Mechelen, it's actually a city as it has a cathedral where the aristocracy get hitched. Not much larger than a town over here. Its the hq for Belgacom

[WTFH]

Only place you wand to live is Ixelles.
HTH.

Which bit? I lived in Mechlen (sp?) for a couple of years, very nice. Find out when the local market is on as the food is first rate.

Do you mean Machelen - near the airport, or Mechelen - between BRU and Antwerp?

I've never stayed in the centre of town (although I had options) when I've worked in Belgium in the past.
I enjoyed staying in Ittre or over towards Westerlo and Geel. I guess it depends which part of Brussels you're working in and how much of a commute you want to do... And how many points you want to get for speeding on the Ring.

3k for an ecoshed.

Missed that,. You got it spot on.

[sasguru]

And how much is your monthly rent if the houses cost £1.4m there?

3K a month for a 2 bed house

Keep up.

Keeping up with sas is stupefying. He's like a nerve agent, minus the charm.

Dunno yet - popping over next week to liaise with HR who've promised to give me a couple of options.

Harpic or Domestos?

Marigolds or Purrell?

Congrats Sas hope it goes well!

Been a busy few months. Sold main house (a very nice Indian gentleman paid 1.4 million for it), now renting round the corner.

I hear fireworks are leaving the shelves at record speed in a town in deepest Surrey.

Keep up. Old Walter lived in London, then sold up and bought a leafy pile for X millions in Surrey, then sold up and returned to London having spent X millions, and has now sold up again...

Next week, he will be spending X millions buying somewhere else imaginary

But the mince remains as thick as ever.

You really need to work on your witty put-downs...

Been offered a permie job in Brussels with all the benefits and a nice relocation package so will take that while I figure out how the Belgies work with contracting.
Missus working out her notice and we move next month.
Looking forward to a new adventure - probably the last one before retirement in Portugal, yay

Sounds awesome! Have fun!!!
