Thanks for the suggestions so far... the more I think about it the more confused, undecided, and picky I become over what I might actually be after. Why does this kind of thing have to be such hard work!

Wise ones (or perhaps not so wise - not necessarily a requirement), I'm seeking ideas for a break away in the UK for a lone traveler. Key factors: lone traveler non driver small budget (not wanting to have to pay unnecessary extortionate additional fares for being a single occupant where possible) areas of interest that have historic background walking activities tied into the above a must not particularly interested in any "spa" or relaxation get-a-ways no set date for travel just yet so could potentially be on the look out for last minute (and worthwhile!) deals Any helpful ideas?

sounds rather stalkerish and illegal to me... *shudders at thought of looming by any "gents" loo awaiting for opportune moment*

I'd hardly call the additional rooms bedrooms... just rooms. There's nothing special about the house and the state of the bathrooms and garden? What kind of idiot is seriously going to pay that kinda money for that rubbish? I've I had that kinda of money to burn I would expect a high end spec for that money. I'm disappointed and confused how that price tag can be applied to a property that doesn't really offer value for money *shrugs*

Zeb... a bit of positivity...

I recently had similar chap knock on my door... I told him we weren't interested in ADT ;-)

Double meaning? :-o

triangle?

Sue i think the current problem is simply bad planning. Theres too many buses stopping in that one place. I could never understand why it was thought a good idea or even safe.

What?

Malumbu I still fail to see the purpose of this thread except perhaps to stir "racist" b'lox.. which is worse?

You mean here http://www.jigsaw-online.com/pws/StoreFinder.ice?country=GB&findStore=findStore&page=store120&store=120&storedetails=true ?

Never seen such deadly teeth holding on... *sighs* I feel slightly disappointed. Perhaps if it were a less likely subject/person involved... perhaps

A bit concerned with the "expirement" :s I mean no need to depose of these people you seek. What's the purpose of your quest?

You can assume but you can't predict with any accuracy at all. I wish that would be realised. *sighs* And this silly business of free car clubs** - doesn't that usually apply to the new development and for just 3 years? What about the residents and what happens after 3 years? Everything is then stuck as it is. I'm not complaining on this development just saying it how it is across the board. More and more "essential" housing is being introduced. Less and less space is left. ETA** how many car clubs are there in the area?

Go look at Oxford Street for > example. Walworth Road can be similar. I think you seriously need to open your eyes a little, a tiny stretch over long routes that you feel are "empty" does not justify cancelling or altering the route. What time of day are you making this judgment? I travel at all times of day/evening and find those routes well used. Go find yourself some proper statistics before coming out with that kind of rubbish. You are, perhaps, suggesting a cut in the middle of a route - how do you suggest commuters needing to travel the whole destination make their journey with the bit you'd cut? If the tube was available you can't assume everyone would want to or indeed should use the tube. Fail cle.

It's also not a particular "new" thing... *yawns*

Ah the day when people walked to places, did small regular shopping trips, planned their lives better... *sighs* ;-)

she?

So we're all happy for ANOTHER change of use application to ANOTHER restaurant on Lordship Lane? Really?

hahahahahahahaha LICE! of all things!

A while back some neighbours of our put their bins out, not even right by theirs but as near as they could, with a note kindly asking not to move the bins as space might be needed for the midwife in the next few hours... a local estate agent decided sod that and took the space. Now THAT is selfish on the bin movers part. I think if people are wanting to keep a space for say services, deliveries, removals, a skip etc fine but put a note on whatever device used to "reserve" the space if its a must. I understand your frustration louisa and im not a driver or car owner. Sadly it's people who take advantage of the whole space hogging thing that makes others feel infuriated resulting in them moving bins and such to park their cars AND often it's not even people who live in the street that do it! *now thinking about the idiots who shunt cars in front and behind so they can squeeze their car into that teeny so not big enough space*

depends if your a newbie (post 1995s) or an original don't it ;-)
