Above a Chinese Take Away, across the road from a, Nepalese Take Away and a shop where they sell children as trophies. Hmm very attractive. A victory worth waiting for.

    Cause for Celebrating WHAT exactly?

    Are you celebrating that someone will be paying £5,400 a year for an unfurnished 1 bedroom place?

    That's just sick ...... a Mortgage would be far cheaper .....
