Squizz - pm me your email address, and I'll send you a photo of my house just after I bought it. Then you can imagine 12 years of wear and tear, and see what goes for £300k around here!

Hi Karma, thanks for the full reply, very interesting to see your thought processes. It's interesting when we really examine the feelings behind our decisions, isn't it? I found it very hard to move to the town where I live because it has zero cachet.

Do you think Three Bridges would have local life, though? True it's very good for commuting, but isn't it just a suburb of Crawley?

PS does anyone know how to subscribe to a thread? It used to happen automatically but now it has stopped!

Well thanks I can see exactly what you're talking about now Have rambled a bit in return by email.

It's really interesting to see your thought processes all laid out like that above!

!!!!!! rings :rotfl:trust you!

Seaxwyn - I'd never written or even actively thought of the cachet thing, but it came up, and I couldn't deny it! And H Heath is deffo better than 3B for that......

Good point about Three Bridges. When I've walked through from the station to Pound Hill, its all suburbs. You're right, I think its just suburbs surrounding a socking great shopping centre - there's more to it than that, obviously, but not much. Whereas Haywards Heath is more of an actual town. And when I've been through late at night, on rail replacement buses, there's active social life going on - a bit like this place to be sure, lots of people sitting in bars, but it has a nice feel. And there's amdram and a swimming pool - lets face it, with this size place, lots of things are within easy walking distance. You know, I'm really leaning towards that rather than 3B.

Right. I have to go muck around with my cash ISA from YBS - and I have to go to HHeath to do it! So I have to go an hour or so earlier than I'd planned. Signing off now, after I hop on to Hypno's thread to see if she can help me with a weird bingo thing that came up.

Thanks for posting all! All ideas/challenges still gratefully welcomed!

Hiya KC
I moved from surburbia (Purley) which had changed from a high street with butchers, greengrocers clothes shops etc to a wilderness dominated by a large Tesco and nothing else but estate agents, charity shops and travel agents (Kind of ironic as my Dad opened the very first travelagency there about 40 years ago).
Now I'm in Kent in what would be considered not as nice an area.....within 5 minutes walk I have a proper high street, a (mainline) railway station, bus station and neighbours who actually talk to each other instead of ignoring everyone

I wouldn't move back for anything !
