more and more buildings

[fruitsalad]

going up everywhere, any little piece of land and they are building on it flats, offices etc. we wont be able to move in this country soon, are there any open spaces left?

[B00]

Know what you mean, however, what's the alternative? We're only a small island and our population is ever increasing.

[RATTER15]

Why do you think we have so many floods!! water cannot soak into tarmac or concrete!!

One day people will realise this!!! or will they?

[RATTER15]

BOO I have only two words that will help the situation. foreigners and deportation!!

[fine,thanks]

oh you two are very serious this evening !

[B00]

Oh im not going to get into that kind of debate ratter, I got into enough trouble last night, I'm keeping my head down tonight!

[fine,thanks]

oh come on RATTER, are you saying the foreighners are the cause of the floods in england over the last few weeks ?

[fine,thanks]

sorry re spelling,

[RATTER15]

Hi fine,thanks, hope you are well!!. Well my second answer was a reply to BOO's question about being over populated.

[Feena]

Know what you mean fruits. Its the same here in Cardiff,. Luxury apartments that people keep for a year or 2 then sell as they can't afford the mortgage. Blocks of offices that stand empty as the rates are too high. The only profitable place is Cardiff Bay with it's theatres/opera houses etc but,saying that there's no where to park! West Wales is much better,very little changes there and the scenery is brilliant. The old town is the same as it was years ago. We hope to move there when my hubby retire in 3 years time. Touch wood!

[fine,thanks]

hi RATTER and carakeel. still looking for property, hope all well, sorry fruitsalad,

Britain has more people than it can comfortably hold, because it is the haven of democracy and tolerance and benefits and multi-culturalism. More houses must be built in the countryside, and not big expensive ones mark you, they have to be 'affordable'. Translated this means more and more sh$tty subsidised housing for low-paid or unpaid (except by benefits) workers. If you live in the countryside and value it, then forget it, the future is coming to you. Enjoy the fields while you have them, the future is concrete.

[fine,thanks]

god forbid that anyone who receives benefits would be housed outside a tower block and and be able to enjoy a country environment for their children, keep the countryside for the gentry ?

[whiffey]

I agree with you fine,thanks, the loss of fields and trees is a small price to pay.

[fine,thanks]

the best thing in the world is a nice safe warm house, not too much to ask for everyone in such a wealthy country as ours.

They want to build houses on a piece of land which is a flood plain ,it also houses the local waste water treatment plant , stinks enough when they stir it up , as all the cess pit poo goes there . So will people be happy to pay �300K to live next to that ? I think not ! But the government will let you build on a postage stamp as it's more money in taxes etc. And yes this island is over populated , not enough homes for the Brits so not enough for the rest who want to come here . There are some really lovely open spaces here but not for much longer as they are letting the developers thin out the green belt .

[whiffey]

A small semi-detached house at the end of my road has been converted recently into 3 very thin houses. 7 cars have turned up and countless people. Good progress. Hopefully we can turn Beddington Lane into a 24-hour traffic jam. Why can't we build more cheap housing in Zimbabwe or Chad where there is limitless space ?

[theonlyone]

Whiffy , nice answer . Where is Doc Spock tonight ? Bit early too be on the Razz , maybe not !!!!!!!!

[fruitsalad]

quite agree with you Wiffey, why does this little island have to get more and more overcrowded go build else where, where they have more room.

[fruitsalad]

hammerman, i was here before the foreigners they are letting in now, so let them move into a tent or a caravan if they want to live here.
