Where would I live if I ?????? Rookie needs some help!!!!!

[tikay]

Nottingham would obviously be a good location for DTD, however I would possibly suggest being somewhere slightly nearer to London to allow you the freedom of being within easy reach of either, especially London for air travel. Be aware that the nearer to London you live the more expensive it will be. With apologies to anyone from Milton Keynes, the place looks like a concrete jungle but it would be ideal in location being about halfway between London & Nottingham, don't ask me house prices cos I ain't got a clue I was thinking more in terms of geography lol. I'm sure grandad, oops Tikay, would introduce you to the delights of British Snail or whatever they call themselves these days so a car is not so much of a necessity. As for golf I ain't got a clue but 2 certain uk individuals might be worried about a hustle so please declare you correct handicap. I doubt if this helps much but GL all the same.

The Midlands is, imo, better, served as it is by excellent Airports at East Mids & Birmingham, even Coventry.

The problem with the "halfway to London" idea is Luton Airport - truly & undoubtedly, the world''s worst Airport, in every single respect, by a country mile..

I thought that Stanstead was the present holder of that particular title....

No way - Stansted is actually quite nice, one of the best designed Terminal Buildings in the World, too, beautiful roof trusses & lots of natural light. Got it's own Light Railway, you know.

The worstest is, deffo, Luton, followed by Mombasa, Luton, YumDum International (I kid you not, that's the name of the Airport in The Gambia), Luton, Charles de Gaulle, Luton, Heathrow Terminal 3, & Luton.

i have taken many a departure through the Terminal in Luton Airport, sometimes with folks like bill or ben sat next to me, on the same plane and without delay and with excellent facilities.. That does not infer to me Luton is the worst.!

Brian can & will make his own mind up!

Nice try Paul.

But it's official. Luton Airport is a pile of poo.

[turny]

yeah i know but i hope you get my point .....

It's all irrelevant, he's staying at my place and I'm buying smaller towels.

They have a private terminal for special guests of which the rookie would be included. Easy check in and out etc and private jets. Luton is ok.

Has to be London for game selection.

The Sportsman, Palm Beach, The Vic. Then the less legal venues, Gutshot, Western, Big Slick.

You have the best transport links, 1hr30 from Nottingham on the train, less than that to Luton, the other way it's less than 1hr to Brighton.

The only thing that stops it being the instant choice would be the cost.

Hi Brian

I met you in Vegas I was cupcakes Bitch being dragged around the RIO carring his bags of freebies.

Nottingham city centre has 360+ licenced Clubs/Bars/Pubs in a square mile of the city centre.

There is a massive amount of new build rental accommodation available check out www.rightmove.co.uk.

But the most important thing is Nottingham has the only HOOTERS in the uk.

AHHH, what a day out, a trip to Hooters, over the bridge to watch Notts County and then back to Hooters to watch the entertainment.

Brian, I think youve pulled........

[divaflava]

I'd suggest either around Oakham (if you want to be part of a community) or one of the villages in the Vale of Belvoir (if you want privacy). Hour and a half drive to London (I drive quickly; it might take a little longer at 55mph) via either A1 or M1, 20 mins to East Midlands Airport/DTD/Nottingham. Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle also within a few hours drive at most.

More real eastate for your dollar than pretty much anywhere else that meets your criteria.

If I had your money I'd check out  http://www.humberts.co.uk/search.dtx?&officecriteria=2
 
The only downside is you'll get nagged incessantly by Adam M to show at his world famous £10 home game in Grantham (although, it would, again, be only 20 mins away).

[divaflava]

Actually, Can I borrow £1m off someone, I quite fancy this:-

It's ridiculous what you can get or £1500 a month outside London...

Personally, I’d avoid Nottingham like the plague – DTD notwithstanding. An American equivalent would be somewhere like Detroit.

However, there's a lot to be said for a city like Nottingham for someone like you though. It has the highest ratio of women to men in any English city, so that might be of interest. The downside is that it's the gun capital of England so there's a fairly high chance that someone might unload their shot at you when you've just shot your load, which might end up being quite painful, even for an American.

Stick to London. It's dirty, expensive and there are too many people, but if you want to be at the heart of eveyrthing the country has to offer then it has to be London. Anywhere else will just seem like you’re watching life go by, but in London you’re actually living the life.

[Woodsey]

LOL thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, I live in Nottingham and have lived in London and Notts is the same as anywhere else.

If your a drug dealer you might have a chance of bumping into someone with a gun (like anywhere else) otherwise its fine. Its a great city with lots to do a see, don't beleive everything thats written in The Sun and The Daily Mail.

Just another fact about the Women to Men ratio in Nottingham.  It is a falsity that people keep brining up over and over again.  This was maybe true over 100 years ago, so u are a little too late Brian!!
