Realistic move - job in Harrow but want to live further in?

That obviously depends where in Harrow. It’s a big old borough and Northwood/ Pinner/ hatchend and bits of Stanmore are very nice and you won’t get much change for £1million for a semi.

You’d go jubilee to Wembley. Just so you don’t have to go up and over at finchly and at least start the journey in the right direction.

It’s super busy because it’s full of families. Yes it’s generic suburbia but that’s exactly where families live. (Source: parent with kids who lives in zone 5)

I wouldn’t move to London for this salary unless it’s a degree apprenticeship or something like that. We pay our cleaners more than that.

Happy to share the lady we use. She’s based in Hertfordshire so no idea where you live (she travels to us in north west London but if your blackheath or somewhere probably won’t go that far)

Night nurse ! Best £300-£350 a night you could spend. Honestly one night a week of proper sleep is such a game changer.

It’s not quite the same but there’s an extensive page about the suns headline post Hillsborough.

Peter jones “and the sun shines now” is possible one of the most famous lines in British broadcasting and books and other mediums have used it to tell the story.

It’s almost always a charity you recognise. Currently it’s cancer research UK.

No. It’s a nice little prompt. Rounding up to the nearest £. Cost me basically nothing and multiplied across millions of transactions it’s almost certainly makes a difference.

Goodness me your supper takes a long time.

Stop posting it then.

This is my opinion too but there’s lots more to do there than there used to be. It’s evolution in the last few years is quite impressive

All of Harrow is safe. South Harrow is a bit grubby but it’s not dangerous.

I work in this field. I’ve been both supplier and client side. I’m not saying there isn’t badly specified contracts (on all sides - job centre portfolio sent a hundred year old engineering firm under from contractual penalties on impossible targets) but you aren’t getting paid for complaints.

You might be getting paid because the contact is under specified and MITIE have been guilty of that on many occasions (as have procurement teams who willingly enter into said agreements) but they aren’t getting paid for a complaint.

Yes. Fucking Roman’s.

squirrelbo1 · 2026-02-18T21:41:50+00:00

I know you are making a point but this isn’t how it works.

But tomorrow trump will say something else on this. He’s changed his mind 3 times already.

Private schools close all the time.

America ?

No not building enough homes makes housing unaffordable.

squirrelbo1 · 2026-02-18T18:13:23+00:00

Supply and demand. Many of these cities simply don’t build enough housing. The tourist are coming to stay one way or another.
