Re: poll for the british only, and maybe some other europeans

That's the thing see look, Busy.

Washington DC to us is like what either of the Carolinas are to you. I could easily buy a detached property in the suburbs of DC using only the collateral in my PPR.

Of course, my only motivation would be to use it as an investment to rent out, because I'd never wanna fucking live there, lol

I could get an acre of land for $15,000. Where I am now, $100,000 for half an acre.:dabs:

A number of folks that retire from the phone company up here move down south.

I'm just hoping my oil stocks keep climbing.:naughty: ...and I'll just stay right fucking here.

Oh and these fucking gas prices are wayyyy to high, btw. :smilie4:

I haven't a clue how much an acre of land would cost here, I imagine more than £54,277 though considering there isn't much open space around.

Ok, lol. I wouldn't live there either, lol. It's too congested and you don't get a lot for what it costs, lol.
My only motivation is to live like a king wherever I am. I am not very familiar with Carolina on a whole to wanna fucking live there either.

I am curious about the cost of homes, petrol, etc. in relation the wages over there.

Also do most of you brats live in either detached homes, townhouses or apartments?

Almost all the folks over 22 that work here for the phone company live in detached homes (and a few in townhouses).

So you guys pay a little over a pound a liter and we pay over $3 a gallon.

Isn't there about 4 liters in a gallon?:unsure:

This was from a while ago :smilie4:

Busy, we're paying about twice as much as you, but most of it is tax.

That sucks....but you make more than us, right?

I mean if I move up to Baltimore, the cost of living is less and I even would make less money in the phone company.

I'll tell you another thing that sucks for me personally....My car has V8 and it takes premium (91 or above) gasoline. Thank goodness I ride the subway to work (at half price).

I wouldn't have thought so for a minute :no:

Wages are generally higher in London than in the rest of the country, but the cost of living is much higher, and the cost of housing in London is astronomical.

Interestingly, the petrol costs are fairly uniform, with only about a 10p variance around the country I think.
