You've been considering it for 3 years.

Anyone from Milton Keynes

Hi Just wanted to find out about Milton Keynes. I am thinking of moving out of London but still commutable distance into London. As property prices are cheaper and 30 mins into London, I wanted to know which areas are good to purchase a property.

Is this user really suggesting London is a 'dump' and then wanting to move to MK?

I'm sure they'll let you have your passport back one day.

Ah I do miss being told to "try again". Is Deuse okay or did he get caught up in the Capitol Riots trials?

There are 3 places I been looking at,Spain is one of them.

Uk has pretty poor quality food, substandard medical care.
The properties are small and badly built.
No sun, impolite people, streets are dirty, no style or class very bland.
Roads are terrible.
Most people are really lazy.

The country is a run down skip and that is putting it nicely.

Is that how you hope to improve the UK, by leaving?

All trashtalk and no action. You'll still be here in another 3 years time and probably still be moaning about the same old stuff.

If majority people accept sub standard services etc. then It can’t be improved, so best to move.

Life is too short and we only get one chance,

Off you trot then, no need to tell the world about it, just get on with it.
You'll still be here in the forums, we dont care where you live, so to us, nothing would change.

Anyway back to actual topic as this went south quicker than most.

Rent freeze would be lovely and welcome.

I was hinting that you leaving would be a net positive.

I hope not, I hope I complete what I need. So I can get out soon.

 

[BongoHunter]

That is only financial, and for links to other cities. But truly a dump of a city, and I live in one of the best parts and I still think it is a dump.

I lived in Chiswick, and then just next to Richmond for a good few years - both were pretty great. It would be hard to call either of them dumps! What part do you live in?

That is one problem accept a band aid but look the other way. Not solving the real underlying problem.

Between the river and sticky fingers which just changed ownership and at the other end the Pancake place next to the very narrow pub.

If you know the above you know the area.

 

[doodah]

Can we please have a poll for Mrwrong still being in here in 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years?

 

[Feek]

If you know the above you know the area.

Earls Court?

Go on then, give us a solution rather than just spouting "the real problem is not solved" nonsense at everyone.

Wait. You post that but want to go and live in spain? Are you looking to rent?

Also you didnt even bother to read the article in your own whinge thread.

However, Mr Khan hit back at the criticism by claiming that the Nine Elms development was signed off by his predecessor, Boris Johnson, who stood down as mayor in 2016.

A spokesman for the mayor said: “These particular homes were approved by the previous mayor under his much wider definition of affordable housing which benchmarked rents at up to 80 per cent of market levels.

“Sadiq ditched this definition when he became mayor and after years of under-investment from the Government, is extremely proud to have started a record-breaking 116,000 genuinely affordable homes, the equivalent of a city the size of Plymouth, despite unprecedented economic turbulence.

The spokesman for Mr Khan added: “In the last year alone, work started on more than 25,000 affordable homes, more than treble the level managed at the end of the previous mayor’s term in office.

“His calls for Government to freeze private rents for two years to help struggling renters continue to fall on deaf ears.”
