It was just after we had beaten Arsenal 2-1 away. 'You kicked us off the field' was the opening line. Then condescending ****e like 'Is this your first time in the Capital' ? and 'do people eat out in Hull and the wines a bit expensive......are you sure you can afford it' ? There were four of us in a party of about 12, we sat by ourselves at the end of the table whilst the Horray Henry's whopped it up at the other end, taking the piss out of us, ordering champagne ( four bottles) of which we never got a sip........then said ' split six ways that's £150 per couple' We had ordered pasta and lagers. I/we paid up, went with them to another pub in which they all sat down after ordering **** knows what cocktails at £12 a shout and expecting us thick Northerners to pay. It was then when I told them what I really thought of them all, set of shallow big headed bastards.

I know somebody who goes on about how terrible Hull is but when he goes to Hull he goes by coach straight to the ground and straight back to London after the match.

There's idiots everywhere. It doesn't make them representative.

I don't see what you're getting at. If he thinks Hull is so terrible, wouldn't getting straight in and out be the logical thing to do?

EDIT: Ah, I think I see now. I thought you were talking about a City fan, but now I reckon you're not.

Muswell Hill is a very nice place to live, like Crouch End, it benefits from having no tube station.

True. But a brisk walk or bus from Muswell Hill to Haygate!!! There were some nice pubs there, like The Red Lion and Sun and The Gatehouse. The Spaniards, projecting out at an angle on Hampstead Lane, was pleasant in the garden on a summer's evening or a classical evening in the grounds of Kenwood House.

When I was single I always wanted to live near the tube. Having good transport links always helps the house price.

I bought a flat in Southfields and within months the value had reduced by a third because of the 1990 property crash. Ten years later the price had more than doubled.

Colliers Wood is now having a lot of new developments built which should increase the price.

If you buy in London buying where Crossrail or Crossrail 2 is adding a station will increase the price.

I go to a meeting outside London at Esher every month and it's a great place. There's plenty of nice places inside London as long as you avoid the obvious bad areas but you can only live where you can afford and what you like within the price or rent. Every London area has some good properties now.
 
In the early eighties I worked in Kingstone upon Thames and stayed in Twickenham, I would love to move back but doubt we could even afford a bed sit !!

I used to drink in the Red Lion in Colliers Wood, has it survived?
 
Oooh, what a thread! First, if you are in Colliers Wood the place to watch City on TV is the Royal Standard - odd name for an Irish bar but great Guinness and proper working man's place. You'll find me and my lad there making the noise.

Me, I live in E1 (Aldgate, Tower of London, that sort of thing) but I'm buying a flat in Hull to retire to and watch City for the rest of my days. London is a great place to live whatever anyone says, it's got everything. But Hull's where I want to be - the big sky, the clear sharp air and that other resonance.
 
just over 15 years ago I invested the redundancy money I received from one job into buying 6 houses in Hull with the intention of renting them out.

I have had a steady income of around £3400 a month from them ever since (only had about 16 weeks in total empty in that time), the houses are also now worth around double what I paid for them. Investing wisely there are still bargains in Hull, I'm looking to increase my portfolio when I retire in 5 years with a much better rate of return than putting my lump sum in the bank

You can buy some properties really cheap and rent them out to students to make a big return. With better properties (but not luxury) you don't make as much. I have a property worth about £150k in Sutton and it would only bring in about £6k per year. I prefer to let a family friend live in it for free.
 
homes under the hammer right now . . .
there is a 1 bed hovel in london in massive need of repair in bayswater (outside the terrace looks nice )

internally this loft apartment bedsit is a wreck at 370000 a snip !!!

****ers
