A superb city if you’ve got money. It’s been gentrified to fuck recently. All about the Toff.

I used to get sausages from Clitheroe. There used to be 2 good butchers shops a few minutes walk from the station which had a great variety.

Cowmans’s sausages? Bought from there myself when I was in the area, since retiring I’ve not been but really good quality.

1) Clearly not true Chicagoans if -20C keeps them indoors!
2) London prices are stupid, but scarcity drives price.
3) Generally prices all over England are FAR in excess of the USA.

The 2000 sq ft, 4BR/2BA lake house I just bought was about £100/sq ft on 1 acre of land. Not a chance in hell of anything close to those prices in the UK. In fact, I’ve looked at some decent trailer homes “chalets” close to Windermere for double that…and you only have 10 mo occupancy!

And, my price includes use of boat ramp, private beach, greens fees on the golf course, indoor & outdoor pools, gym, clubhouse, ski hill & tubing pull, and the use of a campground for guests. Boat slip is extra. Those amenities are all covered by an annual £2,000 association fee that includes snow removal on the roads.

That’s an impossible find in the UK.

America has a lot more land per inhabitant. That alone makes the average land price lower.

Also, I very much doubt that the USA have a small number of families who came over with William the Bastard who still monopolise a huge proportion of what land there is.

Finally, does the USA have such concepts as Green Belt?

Not looking for an argument, you started with criticising my post about the world in general which you seemed to take personally with your subsequent defence of the UK. When I wasn't even talking about the UK except for one small mention of knife crime.
I get the feeling you think there is no UK knife problem.
My cynical quip about the Governments and their lies again isn't just referencing the UK but pretty much all nations.
I'm amazed you think Government (and those that they have influence over) figures are not contrived to make things look more favourably..(thinking Boris and his magic bus 300 Mill/week to the NHS)
I think violence and violent crime in the Western world is getting worse, whether its guns, mass shootings or knife crime.
If you disagree, just disagree. That's fine...But please don't quote Tory government figures at me. I don't believe them.

OK, fair enough.

There is a lot of misinformation in tne world at the moment, I agree with you on that point, and yes, our government ministers lie through their teeth all the time, and those lies are supported by the majority of the media.

What I will say is there are independent sources of information available that can be referred to which disprove the crap being spoken by ministers and written in the press.

I'll leave it at that.

Maybe we should change the subject and talk about our favourite Hermans Hermits record from the 60's.

Yes.

You’re clearly not much of a lake effect guy, as the water is usually far too warm to go ice fishing when the lake effect is in full swing, as that’s what helps create it!

Once the lakes get their hard winter freeze the temperature gradient and source of moisture are pretty much gone!!

I live ten mins from Lake Ontario.We have our own little ecosystem here in the winter

No, I think England is fairly unique in that concept. Unfortunately it's being eroded in England as it's often seen as seperating the rich from the inner City scum, shame as I think it's a great idea
