    We've started looking at houses. We've two options. Pay around £300,000 for a 3/4 bedroom house on an island within a 10 minute walk of a beach and only 15 minutes from the city by car, or go inland a bit and buy a house right next to a lake for about £100,000 less and then buy a boat at some point in the future but it's a 40 minute drive away from the city. The idea of taking a boat out on the lake interests me but at the same time i'd only use it for about 3 months and i ****ing hate living in the countryside.

    What are the places like over there? do they have space?
    unlike here where most bedrooms once you put a bed in you can't even walk around it.

    Have you considered burning your current place down and being rehoused in luxury at the taxpayers' expense?

    #cladding I love how everyone is a fire expert now. 'it was the cladding' a bit like Iraq war was about 'the oil'

    Burney I am stuck with the same areas coming up over and over again in my search.
    Harlow, Grays, Basildon, Pitsea.

    I may have to take a chance. If I am going to commit to this sort of thing I want a house not a flat. What to do?

    Harlow? Grays? Basildon? These can't be good ideas, f.

    As far as I can make out, Harlow is a vast retail park in which people also apparently live.

    * at the expense of seeing your relatives, friends, and neighbours burned to a crisp, suffering from various degrees of burns, getting lung cancer from the inhalation of smoke, and living with a bit of trauma

    I don't like my neighbours and none of my family or friends live near me.
    Where's my matches?

    Why would one's relatives be living in the same building as one? Are we in Africa? Also, I've never had a neighbour whose very existence I didn't resent, so their fiery deaths would simply be a bonus.
