Good choice, the planets estate is where I grew up.

You'll probably want to steer clear of "The Clay Pipe" pub which is on the estate though wink

Sounds "interesting"! This is our new house. Very pleased with it just can't wait to get the keys though!

What's the Stag like? I quite fancy trying that one as i'm a fan of Fuller's!

The stag is quite nice (or used to be when i went there 10 years ago!) Although it was the local for our upper school teachers, which could be a bit style cramping...

Bearing in mind this was all a long time ago and virtually all the pubs have changed hands since then:

Our main haunts where "The Black Horse" Dave the owner was really unlucky though, all three of the pubs he owned burned down, which must have been a blow to the insurance company wink

"The Black Lion" in the high street was the other place we went to mostly, cheaper beer than most of the others, beer garden is a concrete car park, mainly a young pub so probably not fit for the likes of us these days!

"The Roebuck" is a bit older, used to have xmas and new year there as they didn't charge entry, nice pub, one of the better ones in the town centre.

Top and Bottom Bell - not too bad, young pubs again, bottom was always packed, Top could be a bit druggy. (One at either end of the high street, hence the names)

That's all I can think of at the moment...

Nice house though, I'll wave to you as I walk past every morning, my parents house (Where I crash Mon-Thu) is about 50 yards away biggrin

You'll have to pop in and say hi at some point! The area looks really nice I have to say and has been very quiet on the dozen or so times we've been up there.

Don't be alarmed at John, he's totally harmless and lived in the road (almost literally!) all his life, you'll know him when you see him smile

Ah that's his name! We've said hi a few times and waved goodbye as well!

I don't know, it can get quite exciting! A house over the back was burgled in '87 and Sue Barker's brother used to live at number 19!

Popped up to "Leighton" (Can I call it that now since I live there?) to find the Cattery etc and stopped off in the Stag for a quick beer.

Nice pub - very clean and relatively smoke free and also very cheap! (Bottle of corona, bottle of Honeydew and packet of crisps came to £5.60!) However like you say it did feel like it was for middle aged teachers not people under the age of 25!)

Sure, why don't you pop a post in the beds forum too, see if any of the other LBers fancy meeting up in town for a beer?
