With that said I was taking the piss as I imagine the people's republic of Croydon has spread its wings into their lovely land Croydon population seems to be moving everywhere other than West at the moment as it's too expensive. People our age that are in a position to get a mortgage tend to go Crawley way, people that work in the City are either going Bromley or moving in to the City, whilst those relying on the council seem to end up in Stretham / Thornton Heath. Croydon in general is an area populated with people that didn't grow up in Croydon. You take the piss but Croydon as an area is on the up. House prices are increasing in Croydon more steady than most other areas due to all the rebuilds that have caused an influx of property investment. Westfield is going to be a game changer too. You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,777 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm such a pale Scottish bastard that I've actually got a tan just from sitting in the garden studying for about 90 minutes yesterday. Thankfully today it's went back to being miserable so I can't go out and get myself burnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,107 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My family has owned property on the Gold Coast and Manley; aka two markets that would sell in the millions. Instead they put eggs in property out west where depending on the weather, changes from semi-desert to desert. Fuck my ear. Now they own none of it, some dickhead bought the family lands and they live in houses that can't be sold because they live in a dying town. @Toinho @Harry @Devil-Dick Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 1,437 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Seriously mate whereabouts you talking? Its still possible to get returns in smaller markets. A friend of mine has a dozen properties in small towns that have a somewhat diverse source of employment (Not just one single company) and they are all positively geared. the ratio of house prices to rental returns are way more favorable in rural areas. He's having his mortgages paid for him and making a profit. At the end he can sell them or keep them and the stream of income will become vey attractive once those mortgages are down to zero.

Town's population has dropped nearly 25% in the last few years. With the new Labour laws concerning the mulga tree has put a noose around the neck of the farming industry.

Did your family sell the property in the now expensive areas? Affording a house in this country is getting insane unless you do want to live in the regional or remote areas - well, the ones who are dying or stagnating. The town where I work, whilst only a couple of hours from Perth, is slowly decreasing every year. No supermarket in town right now. Houses going very cheap but you'd take many many years to sell...

Yeah, years ago. This country is strangeling the bush to death. It makes me sad hearing that it is happening to WA as well. This country was built on agriculture but the Greens would rather protect a tree that grows like a weed than the farmers that have loved and taken care of the land for nealy 200 years. Big pat on the back DiNatale mate, you're killing people lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big pat on the back DiNatale mate, you're killing people lives. Slightly away from the greens but still on politics, a regional campus, Moora College, is being closed by the state government. There has been some serious backlash to this. If it does go ahead - that's potentially another town on the brink of the end.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Today when at work(I'm back at it now, got back on a new job last week after the injury) and I heard a massive gun shot/bomb-like sound. It turns out the Telehandler driver's tire blew and It's lucky nobody was stood next to it, as it would have blown their head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,412 Posted May 1, 2018 Administrator Share Posted May 1, 2018 was at work today and set off a bomb to scare the guy who came back to work after a long lay-off. Luckily at the same time a tire blew and I got away with it. As no-one was standing next to either incident, no-one was injured. Lucky for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You work in sales actually don't you? so it's possible. It would be quite easy for you to pop onto site with your fancy suit on and plant something. Nobody would see it coming.
