Most places are posher than weston, it's a shithole.

No sign of Jeffrey Archer! ;-)

Everyone I saw in the pub tonight seemed to be saying oh you must be going home for Christmas, but I'm not.

The ease of commuting is the key. My house is further out but you can still be in Bristol in under an hour on the train. As the cost of houses in Bristol goes mental people are going out to soerset in their droves. My sister in law said to me that even Weston is now "full up".

"Full up"?

They're building fuck loads of houses.

I only like the town centre houses though, don't want a new build shoebox.

Weston - such a shithole that people are buying half a million quid properties.. must see something in it.

It is a shithole. A chavvy boy racer small town small minded pitiful little shithole. There is nothing there. At all. A crappy estuary resort with filthy streets, pitiful shopping and tourist facilities and very little of interest to anyone.

I pity anyone mad enough to spend that kind of money to live there.

Though to be fair some of the buildings are quite nice, it's just a shame the place is such a dilapidated wreck. Avoid.

We'll have to agree to differ then, I am very loyal to WsM.

I may have an opportunity in Mar'08 to move to Clevedon. From what I remember of it, it seems a nice place (of course it was in the daytime).

I've cycled over there once. I know the following about the place:

1. It is on the coast
2. It has the only Grade 1 listed pier in the UK
3. The ice cream is pretty good
4. The nearest train station is 3miles away in Yatton which is 20mins from Bristle and 30mins from Bath
5. Its near the M5
5. It has a Norman church
6. Some bits are quite posh

Thats about it!

If anyone has any good or bad points I'd love to know.
Cheers

I would, because you know what they say.....

Yeah BC,but there's not many houses that are going in Weston, for what, 150 squids or less? Me, full time job, poof, no kids and shizzle, 10 years HARD saving, JUST managed to buy a 2 up, 2 down on the WRONG side of a Points West weather map innit.

Why don't you go back to posting on chavtowns uk?

Sorry fella, I'm on about CleveDON not CleveLAND

Saying that, if its anything like the youtube vid I'm going to have to down a few pints of Thatchers everyday to get in the 'hometime party mood'. Somehow though I think i'll be returning to Sleepville, NS or a watered down version of Shaun of the Dead?

You can get from Clevedon to Bristol centre in about 30mins either by a direct bus or by a country bus and then taking the train from Yatton. I can still go to my fav places in Brissle and at the same time enjoy the easier pace of Clevedon.

To support Isambard's comment, housing in Bristol is becoming plenty full (but more so due to greedy developers with no urban or environmental design ethics) but its all overpriced cardboard shoe boxes with no community spirit. When you begin to put a value against quality of life, it doesn't compete IMO.

you disagree? I'd love to hear how Weston is none of those things. I really would!

 

[Isambard]

Sadly a lot of developments going up in Somerset aren't exactly geared towards community spirit. I'm all for public transport being close to hand but one near me, the estate is literally an extension of the station platform.
