“Berlin has the fastest rising house prices in the world, study finds”

I’ve made a fortune since you posted this, and I read it; alles gut

Does seems whoever did the index hasn't been to Berlin lately. Still quite cheap but not for long

Yes I am south of the blackboy up from the garage and school green. Lived here 12 years now, the amount of new house being put in is incredible at the moment, soon there will be no gap between Shinfield and Spensers Wood

Yes I deliver to these sites with my lorry and Moffett and the science park and building around there,lower early and Wokingham etc is unreal and quiet sad really as it's all becoming a concrete jungle.Even crowthorne has huge developments the size of villages.
When you go out delivering you get to see the incredible amount of developments.

Well done for buying in the south side

Thank you, the north side was too close to the whitley whiff for my liking

Old person complaining that things were better in their day?

Not really HT, it is just that one's 'requirements' change as one gets older. For example, haven't got much use for nightclubs now, but I am not yet at the zimmer frame stage.
Actually, there are few things that I would say were better in 'my day'. Life is so much better nowadays in so many ways.
As an aside, I used to spend a great deal of my working life in London and whilst I enjoyed much of it, I never wanted to live there.

I agree with each to their own and therefore I wouldn't go on a Bournemouth related forum and say things like "there is very little that I now like about it" and "can't stand the fu---ng chaviness of the place and some of the inhabitants". I would consider that rude. Oh and I'm well into my 50s.

Oneillco, it is quite possible to separate the support of a football team,(one that I have followed since 1963) with actually liking the town in which it is situated.
As I said, I used to like Brighton many years ago, but let us say, we have drifted apart.
By the way, when has being rude ever been a barrier to posting on NSC?

Apologies about my comment re: Scotland and Wales. I haven’t been to every city in Scotland and Wales , it’s just the ones I have been to , haven’t been anything to write home about. Except Edinburgh. There may well be nice cities I haven’t been to, I was wrong to be quite so dismissive and apologise.

Exactly. I don’t believe for one minute the increase is, on average, 20%.

A lot of it is still shite though.
Throw much of England in there too.

Apology accepted! I live in a beautiful part of Wales so try the North next time you visit. Just not Rhyl, that is a shithole!

Well certainly in the US they manage to separate teams (franchises) from their location, but for me English football is all about local pride and support for your local team. Brighton has its faults of course but it's my city and my team.

Do people drink PBR in Brighton? Is that seriously considered 'hipster'?
& I've also never seen American Spirit cigs outside of NA.

PBR a hipsters drink? If this is true, they have not got a ****ing clue.

You can buy anything on the hipster version of the darknet. Glow in the dark coffee and whatnot...

Exactly.
It's the cheapest stuff around here. Good for beer pong, that's about it.

No PBR is not a hipsters drink...

Thought this might be of interest.Sorry if it's not that clear-playing with new scanner.

Edinburgh is a contender but I can’t think of anywhere else in Scotland, much like Wales most of Scotland is a dump

Thank you, reading that has made me feel soooo much better about the rubbish I post on here
