Because they let their houses out in Chorlton for astronomic rent and work from home in Cadiz.
I grew up in Chorlton. I hate going back there now.

big fortnight coming up for them then? A bit of a commute to SW19 daily - but I guess they will be taken by players likely to go out in round 1 or round 2 ? Raducanu got a deal on a beach hut in Redcar which I think indicates she won't be fit for Wimbledon this year lol

I was suggesting the residents of Chorlton will get big rents the next few weeks off players who go out in early rounds so can't afford a house to rent nearer to Wimbledon..........

It’s probably me, but I can’t see the connection.I was suggesting the residents of Chorlton will get big rents the next few weeks off players who go out in early rounds so can't afford a house to rent nearer to Wimbledon..........
Whilst I don’t disagree with any of that, I do think we need some actual guidance and a plan soon.
I wonder if it’s cheaper for people to fly somewhere hot for 3 months than it will be to heat their homes.
Pensioners have been doing it for years. Benidorm used to do all inclusive for them at cheap rates. The weather was mainly shit but they stayed in the hotels, ballroom dancing, bingo the works. The problem is after Brexit they can only do 90 days in 180, so the ones who went for longer are fucked.

We had my grandma live with us for 7 years, but she broke her hip in April and has had to be moved to a care home via hospital.Pensioners have been doing it for years.

In the 3 weeks that she was in our home after the price rises, our gas bill was £11 a day for heating. That’d be £16 for the same amount in October.
The heat would have had to be on twice as much over the winter.
Our bills would have been around £900 per month just for gas.

They’d be better of renting somewhere closer to Wimbledon with lower rental prices.High rents....
