Which would you choose to live between Romford or Grays or Basildon and why? Also, would it be better to be close to the station and market or in a residential area? I would like to hear views.

So you are not making the decision to live in a particular area based on access to work, quality of housing, infrastructure, access to health care etc. Instead you are basing it on the price of Special Brew and Pot Noodles?
Interesting approach.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -

surely supermarkets are the same price regardless of location if you look on tescos, sainsburys, asda etc etc app's for prices it doesn't ask you where in the UK you will be shopping.
surely the most important factor is price differences in housing, romford will be a lot more expensive due to its proximity to london and the transport links to your place of work.Live each day like its your last because one day you'll be right0 -
