    Not in my local High Street. A small Surrey market town.

    Jesus, I mean MrFonzerelli, are you really suggesting that swearing doesn't happen in your local market town??? Or is it just not on the high street? Is there some special by-law that states no-one must swear on the high street? I bet there are some rebels who do swear, although perhaps only under their breath? I'm not sure I would want to live in your particular small Surrey market town, being quite fond of swearing myself.

    Yes, strange but true. I would post the town, but prefer to keep it quiet and unspoilt. :cool:;)
    I'm sure the odd bit of swearing may go on, I'm not quite that naive. :D

    Seem quite low to me...but then I've been living in London. 680/month for a 2bed in London - bargain! Most people expect to pay 250/week+ for a flat in london!

    normally room prices are inclusive of everything
    flat or 2 bed houses tend to show the renting price, with no council tax, no electricity waer bills etc.. therefore the strange pricing

    london prices yes

    Just looking on Gumtree as I dunno how I got sidestracked there from ebay, but anyway, thought I'd look at the houses for rent....or rooms in most cases.

    !!!!!! is going on!?

    A few select examples from this page:

    2 bed flat £680pcm
    A double room in a house share, £450pcm
    2 bed flat with "balcony" £685pcm
    Bedsit, £505pcm
    Single Room, £460

    Is this normal?!? Seriously. Or are they really having some kind of desperate laugh? And thats just the first page. I can't believe someone would pay 6 grand for a bedsit for a year!!

    if that's the price that's the market value, if it rents it's another thing - why expensive?

    if you're on a low salary, you're on a low salary - fact.
    don't expect people to drop prices just to suit you.
