Well I love it. Especially spending all that cash at once and having had three delayed or cancelled trains a week into the new 'season'

Forget south of the river, unless you go right south into glorious Kent obviously.
Nice to have a choice though isn't it? Have you made you mind up already?

South London 4 eva.

Never really explored it. I have only heard terrible things. And a man from there called me a cunt.

I think so,
It's a toss up between more money but long commute, or less money but local.
If I'm honest, I'll probably go local, don't wanna spend 2 hours a day in a van.

Driving commutes must be shit. At least I can sleep on the train.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Wed 23 Oct 2013, 14:00, Reply)

Think of all the van related japes you could have at the weekends.

me, you and monty could load it up with cheap wine and drive around london throwing empty bottles at passing tramps.

Excellent news,
