    Aldershot and Farnborough are both Rushmoor, not Hart.

    I think Hart includes most of Yateley common and Minley and Hawley woods, much of which is owned by the MOD. There's barracks at Minley - you often see the soldiers training in the woods.

    Dunno about boring - guess it depends on your idea of fun.

    Nice?

    I see what you mean, tourism, etc etc. However for locals, tourism isnt year round so if you have a mortgage to pay, you need an employer offering year round work ....


    Worst thing is foreign emmits, especially the french. Such rude, horrible, arrogant pigs .....

    However the only downside with the west country is there isnt many services southwest of plymouth, lower wages/less jobs and emmits galore, knicking all the good homes .... sodding emmits with their buckets of sand .... pahhhhh

    Saying that it is in my top 5 list of areas to move to, along with Winchester and Chandlers Ford.

    My old boy lived in Yateley for years. Nice enough but fooking boring.
    Apparently that rates quite highly.

    I've got to be honest. Even though I am a born-and-bred Northerner myself, I see what you mean.

    If my balls drop tonight, I will take a map of Great Britain and fold it from the Severn to the Wash and tear it in half.

    If I REALLY win, then I will never be seen North of the Alps again :-)
