ginge, i remember you giving me a lift home once and when we got as far as lewisham you thought it was the countryside
yes i know the area my Ex lives on the regent's park estate.
there's shit bits and good bits of every lonodn borough, i was just making a sweeping statement to make a point.
altho to be fair even the "ghetto" parts of bromley are tame

i call most things shite, its just my way
i could sell up and move out of london and have a nice house but tbh i like living here ( sort of )
hence we aint sold up,,,,,, though we put it up for sale every 6 months almost

Plus commuting takes time. I currently have a 30-45min commute, any more and I wouldn't see my kids in the morning and at night. As sad as it sounds no money in the world would persuade me to part with that.

not worse to look at though im sure
we was gonna buy a house in luton that was MEGA cheep a few years ago, right on the flight path of the planes ( that wasnt a selling point might i add)
was NICE new built homes,,,,, in cul de sack,,,,,,, and a fucking council housing estate infront of it that was MASSIVE
looking at the home it was nice,,, just walking out the door you see across the road and well,,,, that and the fucking planes
we fucked it off, we could have sold out flat and bought the house and had no morgage after all fees too
sort of regret it but the location was shite,,,,, but thats why it was so cheep

How do you know my 'area' isn't already somewhere really nice?

I didn't mean it to sound as if your area wasn't nice, But I mean move to a nicer area than London, If you were to work there to commute in!

yeah it works out wel.. first train in the morning is abou 6.15am. So a quick beer for the journey from the offy opposite Farringdon Station.. job done
Hate being on trains not feelijg 100% thoug if you know what I mean.
If in Brixton we usually get a cab. 50 quid from a dodgy one usually so not too bad.

IF you never got trained like a lorry driver maybe, but considering what firemen, police and the army get paied no i dont think that the buses should be paied more
FAR from sour grapes, money dont bother me and never has hence i do a job i LIKE and never done it for the wage
driving a bus is just that, its a skill i admit but ANY needs you to know it
how can firemen get paied 23k, police get 25k and bus drivers strike so they get paied 30k for a 38 hour week

DAN @ Fast ford , - no that's not what im saying. Im saying they may get paid 30k a year but its no easy job , there are loads of risks. Ohhh and GINGE .. your a funny man, you think the police give a fuck it a bus driver gets attacked lol.

no my point is i think its a little much for a public service job where you get trained to do the job

Until you manage to get your brain to function, please keep your fingers away from the keyboad. You're only writing shit!
And in your profile under occupation you're apparently a Ford parts advisor... So Im guessing thats your jobtitle.
