Renting in London or arround London

The only trouble is that it is an expensive commute into London at peak time.

That's true, if you're planning on driving anywhere a few miles inside the M25, you will be in grid-locked traffic, and train fares cost a fortune at peak times...

London basically sucks and I don't really understand why big companies insist on being based there when 95% of them don't really need to be in this day and age!

I wouldn't recommend Queensbury, it is up on a hill and the weather is terrible. It is famous for having a cricket match in July called off because of snow. Hubby drives past it daily and even if everywhere else around here is in sunshine, it'll be cold and foggy in Queensbury.

If I could live anywhere, and didn't need to be able to find a job, in Yorkshire I'd go for Skipton. You'd get a three-bed house around there for £500-550. Schools excellent. We'd live in Skipton at a drop of a hat (and may do if feared redundancy happens for OH). And other places I'd look at would be Anglesey, generally, and rural Suffolk or Norfolk. Though I don't know what the rental situation is there.

Heh, small world... Queensbury was where I grew up and I loved it

Oh, and all those things you said are true, but that's what gives Queensbury it's charm

I quite like it too!!! And it is very reasonably priced. So long as I could get a few weeks in the sun in the summer, I would seriously consider living there if our future was Bradford. We don't know that at the moment. But would you come all the way from Bulgaria and live in Queensbury?

I think so... Once you drive over Mountain and see those gorgeous views... Don't get anything like that down here in the manic South East..

Queensbury? Luxury.

Thanks again, Im undecided between Queensbury, Leeds and Bradford but my head is with Bradford

Please don't decide to live somewhere just based on the comments above! Actually visit the places and rent for a while first before you make up your mind
Some parts of Bradford are OK, but most are not.

Im sorry but if you have a set pension, what will you do as inflation rises? You say your wife gets state money by staying at home and looking after you because you have one arm? So do you plan to claim for her to do this in England?

Things are very difficult in this country at the moment with unemployment increasing, credit crunches and the social security/National health system falling apart. I dont wish to be offensive, but if you arent going to work, your wife isnt going work - how do you plan to support yourselves and your family? You dont mention you have any skills or work at present.

You have jumped from I love London as your board name and searching for a place in the London area to thinking an area hundreds of miles north may suit.

Is this posting genuine or a wind-up?
