You're confusing Durham with Sunderland possibly. Durham is a nice place. Except when all the hick villagers come to "the city" for Friday/Saturday night and ruin it.

Not quite:

£1m:


£1.25m


HTH. Both terraced (same street).

And both come with hot and cold running whippets/pigeons!!

the most expensive house in Durham city

Forget the list. I live in Switzerland therefore automatically qualify as rich enough, as there are no poor people here. At least, none worth speaking of.

Working class English go to Spain, the middle class to France. Only the best end up in CH.*


* but I managed to sneak in anyway.

I prefer to be on Swiss income but have German expenses.
That way I get the benefit of well established customers but I don't have to live among them.

They've got bilateral treaties with the EU, so there's the same freedom of movement. However, in order to be a plumber here, you have to go through two years of training, so it's just as difficult to find one as it ever has been.

Isn't it about time they joined the EU and let in a few million Polish people?

Do you mean Detached in Durham above???

If you live in a £m house in London
and it's not detached youre still poor.

Hth

Sorry typo, the most expensive street in Durham city is terraced, is what I meant to say.
As for London, watch The Apprentice to se where Sugar puts the contestants. Not to mention 10 Downing street is terraced.

Nay sir, with the greatest of respect Mr Scrag, surely this is a supercharger as it's being driven ultimately (in extremis I admit ) at source by rotating machinery and not the exhaust gas from the car?

UPDATE: Ah, I see, a Turbo Hair Dryer... lol!

Turbos are for chavs.

[hyperD]

Thats a turbo, not a supercharger.

I suggest the criteria for posting should be:-

Must be a contractor or successful permie who used to contract. (no pretend contractors) Tick
No longterm benchers (successful types only) Tick - for now
Must have at least one degree. (no thickies) Only the finest the Hatfield Poly could provide
Must own at least one house. (home owners only) Tick - but it's a bit tatty
Must be detached. No semis or terraced unless BTLs. Deffo no bungalows. 5 acres or more land preferable or high end city real estate. Tick, Tick, Tick - but why not, Hmmm - possibly not the last one
At least two cars. Car, Motorbike, and a push bike count?
Must have warchest of 50k plus. Well as you have not specified the currency - Tick
Must not live in Luton. Very close but I think a Tick here

And one more:-
Must never have pushed the boundaries far enough to get a ban............

Can I stay and will you go?

[Scrag Meister]

Bah! I'll have to fit one of these to my straight six now...

Thats a turbo, not a supercharger.

[DimPrawn]

People who talk about how well off they are are ALWAYS one of the following

a) Lying and are poor
b) Oinks who came into what they think is a lot of money (i.e. 50k)

People with lots of money never boast about it, because to them its normal

HTH

I'll be rich when I can afford (cash) a big house on many acres of land in the SE of England. Till then, I'm a pauper.
