Must be a hassle cleaning out the moat every springtime an all. You'd be surprised, my neighbour pays £1400 per month rent, for a small two bed terrace. One of my mates rents a 4 bed house, which is nice, but his rent is £2400 per month!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will have to look at the full year to get a clearer picture. The vast majority of the non covid excess deaths have been recorded in care homes and are mainly dementia/ alzheimers or old age fragility with undefined symptoms. Other noticeable causes are stroke, heart disease, respiratory problems. No data on suicides, doesnt look like it's a major cause of excess deaths.

Not sure how many would do likewise, but I can imagine a 20-25 minute walk being acceptable to many, so a commuter area is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 5, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2020 I shit you not: Mrs GJ currently on the phone to a care home manager. Her guys cut the grass front and back but couldn't do the courtyard as it would mean entering the building to access it, in addition to carrying their equipment through. Yet the manager is complaining- what the fuck do these folk want? Longer grass which is a bit of inconvenience for the olds, or loads more dead!

As I understand it, the rise in the congestion charge was a condition imposed by the Government as part of its TfL funding package. I expect the Government could legislate for it if they needed to.

Not in Crawley Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 It’s a no win situation with rent. Sold my house when I got divorced, not a hope I’d get a deposit together now. And we’re wage and geographically trapped. So if we move further into Kent we can get a nice house on less rent but then the travel costs sky rocket to 4-7k a year rather than the 1,800 I pay now for all zones - are there just aren’t as many jobs, plus the jobs that their are don’t pay as well, so you’re fucked. Plus I’ve got £600 a month out on child maintenance. Me and my other half are paid ok-ish, 50 plus a year each with no bonus (unless you count the yearly £100 selfridge voucher, which I don’t!) - I thought with two of us that we’d be ok but my free cash a month comes in at around £300. London wages are better but the outgoings are so much more - especially travel, it doesn’t balance. Woman at work does my job in the manchester office, take home a bit less but her lifestyle is much better. We live in Shortlands in between Bromley and Beckenham. It’s a lovely area, 35 mins into central London, 15 mins to Peckham, 20 to Brixton - super green, National Park space and 20 mins drive in Kent but because it’s considered a bit suburban and has no direct tube line it’s cheaper than a lot of Zone 4 places. In fact due to the pandemic and the now lack of cash they have scrapped the proposed tube line to here, which is a god send as that means rents would sky rocket.

Yes, a bit of a grey area that one. Government saying it wasn't a condition and TFL saying it was, hard to believe who is actually telling the truth. Will be fascinating watching 2 legal eagles thrashing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
