(Or in Winchester, backwards as buggery) Haha! 🎣 If you didn't spend so much of your hard earned on an overpriced bedsit, excruciating council tax and inflated bills for vile 'drinking' water you might be able to enjoy a holiday once a decade. Winchester is lovely as you well know. I have a huge XL 6 man airtent if you want to borrow one? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then hotels it is If you ever go camping and the weather is good, it is a brilliant weekend (assuming most normal folk go for a weekend tops in blighty). Problem is, 8/10 you experience crap weather up north, probably better odds on the south coast of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's delightful, but its not a place I'd settle. Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it's tough, we pay 2k a month in rent for a 3 bed house. It's a lovely place, and we love being 20 minutes from central. But there is no mortgage here, future's at the moment are based in 12 months. You all have a much better balance, your money goes further.

Nope, my ex lives in Canterbury where the kids are at school, so we are here. We were thinking about buying a place up back up north (thankfully my other half is a northerner) and renting it out until the time comes to move - but that won't be for at the very least until I'm mid 50s.
