I'm in Bracknell (Berks), so not far from Swindon really.

The whole South East is like it, as this where most of the work is. I dont see how the trend is sustainable though. In fifty years from now there are going to be even more people demanding houses in their millions. Where are they going to go?

1300 new houses are going up in my town over the next two years. Our council has a policy of making sure that any patch of green in the town is covered in concrete and populated with criminals by 2008.

Back on to ranting..

Now, I watch TV news several times a day, but the BBC - who I have not trusted for some time - are on a deliberate path to bland oblivion. They have taken a leaf from ITV's book and start their news presentation with the presenters standing up, instead of sitting behind desks. Is this really a big issue? You ask, YES it bloody is. Do they think that standing up against a screen playing bits of film from your opening report, is going to engage peoples attention more than the previous format? Are people going to START watching the news because the presenters are standing up? No. People who are not interested in anything except Big Brother dont watch the news. I've also noticed that since the BBc were hung out to dry after the Hutton enquiry - whilst the government shuffled out of court whistling, kicking their fabricated intelligence documents under the carpet as they left - the BBC have also dumbed down their reportage. They are obviously anxious to stay on the right side of Downing Street. F**king cowards!

^Now I know who your on about, yes she's anoying, but then thats a requirement for any channel 4 presenter.

Oh, her with the big thighs, oh aye, she's not too bad!  I forget her name...

This thread is turning into The Velvet Room!

Just Googled June Sarpong. I know the one. I thought you may have meant the one with the long hair and the big thighs; she's ok.

I dont know the name of the guy. He's got long black hair, and dresses like an Edwardian drag act. He's an ex-heroin addict, so shacking up with an old sniffer dog like Kate Moss should do him the world of good.

Most people I know, think he is really funny, but I think I'm too old to appreciate the post ironic modernism of his sh!tty act.

Blimey, I've just read that back. I really am the most sarcastic horrible person I've never met..
