    Where's that mate?

    It's better than where I am in Collingwood. I'm looking at "street art" which is basically a tag that day "graffiti is non-binary."

    A real head scratcher.

    Lovely where I live in the Doxford Park Moorside area. Some fabulous new builds being done now. Countryside within walking distance and seafront just a 15 ride in the car.

    250k would get you a very tidy gaff in SR6.

    That’s where you’d go if you were spending 250k. SR6 has everything. Shops, food, beaches, bars, cafes….

    You could literally live your whole life happily in the postcode.

    Of course, I say this having moved away from there…. Always, always be home though.

    COMPARED TO THE DARKSIDE
    don't own a horse it may be punched
    don't support the local team it will make you suicidal as has just been reported
    don't support greggs it will make you look normal to your peers
    don't get a job and you will fit right in
    don't be a ghost, like the mythical 52,000 per home game
    don't answer a question with the fabled AH DIVVENT NAAR

    There’s some nice places there, I live six miles away. Not many folk move to the Trimdons, but not many move out either.
    Typical colliery village, very close knit community.

    Special needs school is 15 minutes away with good reviews and the local comp has a good rating with extra provision for autism and dyslexia which would help my son.

    There has to be a catch somewhere
