A bit council Vol 2
Discussion
Must admit, with reference to the Scots names: “Adorabelle” is complete genius.
Obviously awful, but genius too.
Its up there with my current favourite: Jazzmin. (or Jizzmin to her mates)
Some of the comments were:
My mate is called Galbraith, it was the only place his mother could get tic
What's wrong with being named after Scottish weather Rain, Windy, or for the more exotic Blowing a Gale?
Anyway, having just landed back at my offices at 2.23 pm (the time is very relevant)
I have just passed 2 tenants leaving our reception. Young ladies wearing pyjamas, dressing gowns and some version of Ugg boots.
What is the world coming too ?
(NB they were really tidy: I’m wondering if they were gypsies ?)

This is PH, we all live in the pretend posh bits!
It is close to the student bedsit land, in fact, the house opposite is is a 5 bed student let. I'd have uni students next door over dolites any day of the week though! Slim chance of them being dodgy or abusive, of course they party a bit and come in late making more noise than they should but I've been the student making the noise so I'm not one to get wound up about that. Touch wood it's not often.
As for St James' Park, we're not that close but I can hear it in the background if I'm outside on a Saturday afternoon, I like it, bit of a buzz - reminds me I'm in the mix, city living etc etc, that's what we moved here for, rather than Heavitree or Pinhoe. We also lived in Kenn for a year, loved that but just a bit quiet for us.

Most of The Lane is a goldmine of council stuff!
I'm not from Exeter so when I was moving down here, looking at houses, I almost put an offer in on a nice place on Topsham Road, just by the junction that you'd take to 'the lane'.Jonmx said:
It's a proper graveyard of chav wagons. There's a garden a couple of roads over with an 8ft resin gorilla and a 6ft resin dinosaur stood proudly next to some faux jungle waterfall. Sadly street view doesn't show them so I'll have to brave 'the Lane' and try to grab a pic.
And agreed on the seaside themed bathrooms.

Saved myself a load of money and hassle by taking a quick drive around the neighbouring streets, eye opening!

As for Heavitree or Pinhoe - one's Coronation Street the other's too far out and one of those poncey places that insists on calling itself a village despite being well within the city boundaries. At least in Pennsylvania you're not blighted by house building on every last blade of grass like the rest of Exeter seems to be suffering.

When I was at the uni, we had a house in Brook Green Terrace. I was pretty much next to St James' Park and there was a pub on the corner (Brook Green inn). There were a lot of students around there, except our street was full of older people, other than us and one other student house. It was nice, but I left there in 2000, so things might have changed, but looks the same on google https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.7298767,-3.52327...
Romour had it the landlord there used to make up staff's wages in, umm, a powder of indeterminate origin. It's since closed down and reopened where apparently they pay cash now.FN2TypeR said:

so just spotted in the local rag that one of "our" streets has had a £30k per household "postcode lottery win".
quick checked turned up the tenants.
I've instructed the incomes manager to get busy with the DWP et al and shatter their dreams.
Excellent. More than £8k savings isn't it? That should stop the lot for them quick checked turned up the tenants.

I shudder to think what a dark uv light would show up in those rooms!

Italy is entirely middle class council.
I caught a snippet of some debt program on R4 today. Some whinny bloke on about how people spend oo much and at most he treats himself to a new book now and again. When asked about a dream holiday, it was of course Italy
It is the 'Mini' of holidays.
