No, I quite agree with Moneypen20, I didn't know that it was bad manners to mention something twice..

Please don't slate her for trying to keep me straight

It was front page of the local rag today(people afraid to go out at night due to gangs blar blar). Won't do much for there "family heaven" sales pitch.

The only point I would make though is that an established place can be no more expensive, and people have allowed superficial big houses to get the better of them - ,made the choice, and have bitterly regretted it. Infact it has pushed them out of a country which they would have otherwise have stayed in or coloured their entire perception of a country.

If established areas were more expensive I'd be in a new estate too cos I ain't rich.

We chose a very average and ordinary house because of the community and land - not the bricks and mortar. And the interests and the people we have met have bourne this out. It's no accident.

Obviously if people are happy thats all that counts, but there are some very unhappy people out there and often the housing situation does not help.

I was actually teasing and didn't mean anything by it

Amen brother.

That just about sums up the whole thing.

End of thread.

Why are you being payed by the "mods"???

People are paying for the designer community with all the add on's but not expecting to get youths hanging around for that price tag.

Strangely enough there's a Westfield there...

At Redcliffe people pay for that Sea View and it's only become popular with non locals the last few years and that's why it's suddenly moving up the property ladder. North Lakes as a new estate has that instant attraction that suits many.

I don't know. Why am I being paid by the mods?

Knock knock......

He's certainly not being paid by this one........we don't get paid to do it, so why she why pay anyone to "mod" on our behalf

I thought it was a joke and was waiting for the punch line.

From talking to many aussies along the way it only seems the Brits have brought along with them the snobbery for "my suburb is posher than yours". I lived in a very nice suburb in the UK, Little Aston in sutton coldfield, CEOs and sportstar neighbours. In the Uk it almost guarantees no chavs and a nice quiet life, It seems not to work that way over here, even the best areas have scumbag families. Mom and dads success and wealth doesn't stop the kids wanting to be gangster rappers and V8 indy drivers. This is a classless society, literally

I lived in Forest lake for a few months and even though the legoland lifestyle was not for us it had a lot of facilities and I do understand why some people would want to live there, its nicer than Redcliffe

Ooh you're from just down the road where I was brought up!

the wife's from suttoncoldfield......jockey rd.....i'm from the council estate up the road ...kingstanding.....

You said end of thread not end of post...

Lol well I'm from Four Oaks and my husband is from Great Barr
Helloooo

Redcliffe is a very good example of a classless society as it has all sorts living side by side all for a whiff of sea. Like you say it is a matter of if you want no chavs or the view at a quickly rising price, which even for Redcliffe won't be affordable to many soon.
