      We don't talk about Staines, we try to forget the poor people exist, much the same as those in Maidenhead.

        For a little more you can be the proud owner of a rusty box on top of some garages!

          When I was growing up in the jewelled city of Liverpool, I always considered Runcorn to be quite posh.

                  Hopefully they make it payable by the property owner and not tenant so gets absorbed in the rent cost like service charges are.

                  Then the tenant will be better off as rent affordability follows housing benefit levels and it's another nail in the coffin of amateur 'accidental' landlords pricing out first time buyers by Borrowing to Let all the cheaper properties.

                  Bring it on.
                  Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                      Just proud not to be from Liverpool and relieved not to be from the town of the high six, Widnes. Big difference.
