    Its one of them weird places it has some very nice parts and some proper crackhead parts.

    The councill are absolute idiots of world class performance though.
    They put up these two foot wide plastic flowers saying Bury is going smoke free on roads that no one walks down only cars (smoke free indeed hello mr exhaust pipe) and the whole country is going smoke free !!!!!!

    They just seem to waste my money on things that dont need doing and neglect those that do

    It's like those idiot London councils in the 1980s with massive problems of poverty spending money on putting up those 'Nuclear Free Zone' signs. Did they seriously think that the Soviets wouldn't bomb Brent or something as a result?

    Actually, come to think of it, Brent would be hugely improved by several MT of explosion. Perhaps we can get a petition up to send to that nice Mr Putin.

    Also, I imagine that £800k houses are pretty thin on the ground in Bury ...
    You'd be surprised, get very little for your squillion in Bury these days ...

    Wherever I am is fab :D

    Elton is lovely, although the school lets it down a bit. :)

    I was looking on right move last night to taunt myself with what I will never afford to buy, and there were ex coucil houses and flats going for £109k, that really takes the buscuit. I will have to move to radcliffe so I can afford to buy a house.
    Work like you don't need money,
    Love like you've never been hurt,
    And dance like no one's watching
    Save the cheerleader, save the world!
