    I vote for Romford. Had a few good nights out there when I worked in Laindon.

    guys, I am afraid that life will be much more expensive in Romford, what do you think?

    For example, I cannot find a gym with less than £40/month! Which is a ridiculous amount for gym membership, I would give max £20! Do you know any romford gym with that price?

    Another vote for Romford. Stay well clear of Basildon.

    Neither, they are both horrible.

    If I HAD to chose between the 3, I'd pick Romford.

    However, Id' avoid all 3!!!

    I moved from the area, as it's an absolute dive nowadays.

    I suspect it's a joke thread.
