At current market rates maybe, but given time no fecker will want to live in what amounts to the modern
equivelant of the Manor flats mate!! Or those they pulled down just off Penistone road yonks ago! 5
bedroom detached houses are in very big demand. London road is cool too, getting cooler by the day i
hear! I have a good few mates in your neck of the woods. On about hospitals & your neck of the woods - I
once did a site survey at a mental hospital just up the road (turn right just after the old bingo
hall/cinema) from you. That was a scary experience. It was closed & the site agent let me in to do a
survey on me own. I didnt realise what they are like with no-one else there. A few rooms looked very
'used' with some odd looking equipment. Then, i did a site survey at Rampton, yikes!

Feck knows, if i earned as much as some of these tossers do, i would have no debt at all, including a
mortgage! These knobs seem to think it's cool to live like this. I have no credit whatsoever bar my wifes
car, which is **** all. If it was down to me credit would be given only to those who have the money in
the bank to repay it!!! Bar mortgages of course!!
It's funny though, I must be the worlds worst credit card user. I sometimes get £10k on mine for work in
a month & just pay it off as planned. I bet they think i'm a right ****!!
