the whole estate area around st marys, where the train line goes past, is particularly delightful.

still, could be worse- it could be eastleigh

also, about eastleigh, how the hell did it come 8th in that official 'best places to live in the uk' list?!! its shat.

winchester, btw, came top. by miles :cool:

Winchside is awesome.

Part of that is because my mate is responsible for the running of the city centre, and for keeping pikey twats out of sight.

And Porthouse > any club in Southampton, for some reason.

Oh, one other thing - moving from Bristol, you'll be impressed with the change in traffic. A friend of mine moved down from Bristol and was pleasantly surprised by the traffic jams, or lack thereof, on the way to work.

There, that's a plus. At last!

Winchester tbh.

Nights out in the Porthouse and then walking the three miles home afterwards \o/

Gandhi's and that Nepalese place \o/

The farmer's market \o/

Shame it's so full of unfriendly southern twats and so much of my family or I'd spend more time there..

the best thing about winchester is the chocolate shop in the high street \o/

and the best thing about the chocolate shop in winchester high street was not the chocolate, but the two lovely girls working in there \o/

Big do at Middle Wallop to attend.

Should be fun.

Balls.

Meant to say this is now confirmed. Watch out Andover, we're coming back !!!!

Thanks for all your posts guys, much appreciated.

I am currently leaning towards staying in Bristol and commuting each day, which would mean 1.5+ hrs drive each way but at least I'd avoid the crapness of Andover. Does anyone drive these sorts of distances to work? Will it knacker me out too badly?

I would of course consider moving into one of the surrounding towns e.g. Winchester/Basingstoke, but I'm having real trouble finding somewhere decent but affordable for 1 person. Anyone got any ideas?
