I'd rather just do what Mordac does, live in Surrey and claim that you live in Richmond.

At least I'm not a fecking immigrant...

[Spartacus]

Well, not Slough yet but I fear I'll get around to it someday.

It's bad. Really bad.

London? Croydon? Slough? Reading?

It's all the same to me, a rat race hell hole.

Get yourselves out into the sticks and breath some decent clean air in the company of friendly people

Feck I wouldn't live there!

I've recently worked in those places. Well, not Slough yet but I fear I'll get around to it someday.

Chelsea is OK, but Croydon is horrible.

Have a look at the crime statistics, you'll be surprised.

[wendigo100]

The quality of life under many respects remains fairly similar in Croydon and in Chelsea

The quality of life under many respects remains fairly similar in Croydon and in Chelsea for this reason.

Wrong.

Sure there are a few more nice restaurants and pubs in Chelsea, but I wouldn't pay 5-10 times more just for that....

It's a moot point as you can't afford it anyway

[shaunbhoy]

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

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!

[Francko]

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....

[sasguru]

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!!

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....

[wendigo100]

You could always move to Napoli Francko!!

Or Devon!

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

Whatever floats your boat....
