This is a question Misheard and Misunderstood

Rachelswipe says: My niece - after months of begging - was finally allowed to get a hamster, and her grandfather was utterly horrified to learn that it had been called "Nipples", a pretty good name for a pet if you ask us. Alas, it was only the more mundane "Nibbles" - what have you misheard or misunderstood, with truly hilarious consequences?

Not sure I'd want to live anywhere the Telegraph rated so highly.

I hadn't bothered to click through but it appears to be a dead market town that's within commuting distance of London but not nice enough to be expensive.
I'm moving there immediately.

Godalming, otherwise known as Godawful.

Cool! We can be IRL buddies!
You might get a bit of shock though - it's not midlands council estate prices here.
I suppose there's Help to Buy.

it's considerably cheaper than here ... presumably because it has nothing to offer except a commute to London
dunno if you're serious or throwing a marshmallow but that looks about as attractive a prospect as a holiday in Miami in rainy season

You are deluded about where you live. I can't blame you, I would be too if I had to live there.

did you even bother to read those links? there's not one housein Cambridge on that first page
450k buys you a four bedroom detached in Godawful or a two-up-two-down terrace in Cambridge.

mmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnng!

Que?
Detached house Zed index (Cambridge): £488,334

Detached house Zed index (Godalming): £827,125

But don't let that stop you getting defensive about the value of your shabby ex-council semi.

that's not in Cambridge, you thick fuck
This is the first detached house in that list that's actually in Cambridge and not one of the surrounding commuter villages:

I think someone might be getting a little bit
upset
(Baggenfrock get fucked, Sun 31 Aug 2014, 14:43, closed)
I don't know why you would
it's your choice to live in a dreary commuter village with nothing but country pubs and the local Am Dram society to entertain you ... I'm sure the quantity surveyor and bank manager neighbours have some fascinating anecdotes while you're all waxing your Volvos on a Sunday morning

Aren't we due a big stroppy deletion
about now?

I can if you like, Albert.

bit harsh ... it's got a sweet shop and a bandstand ... it's a thrill-a-minute cultural centre
