2 sets of high rise flats in middle of town centre

[RichD]

one of my mates parents move into one in the early 80's and loved it..

Would have loved that back in my nightclubbing days. Stumble out of Annabels, Ku Club or Chambers, pay a quick visit to Wee Alley and in me kip in no time, rain or shine. No running the gauntlet of the Park Lane taxi rank.
Reasonable price but don’t like that maintenance fee! I always thought they were council flats not for sale / lease.

How come they’ve been kept in decent nick all these years and yet all I hear about the Echo building is that they sold its soul and it’s now full of Chinese students ten to a flat cooking rancid bait all hours of the night and chaining their bikes to the balcony railings?

If you’re old and you live in the town centre no way you’d need a car imho.

I meant the Gilley Law ones.

Right to buy. Gentoo will hold the freehold & maintain the building, but you'll be allowed to buy your flat if you choose.

The echo building was never social housing & most of the flats were originally sold to investors

How far can you see?
Germany?

You can actually see for approximately 93 million miles if you look up on a sunny day.

Unlikely anyone will get away with that now.

It’s ok, the Tory’s don’t give a shit if people die

Cheap as chips for a prime spot in the centre of town. They are a bit of an eyesore mind but what can you do?

But ironically not an eyesore for the residents.

What, all of them?

If you reply yes, my reposte will be: Two are my friends, but you know them better than me?

Nb: It saves time when dealing with ridiculous unprovable claims.

Sounds class if you're retired to be fair other than the only supermarket in town being Tesco.

Can have an exciting trip to Morrisons on the old free bus/metro pass

Town needs an aldi or lidl.

The Bag man lives in one of them.

I believe he is sans bags now. Never seen him for ages.

 

[Rob the Ref]

wooly backs from horden arent accustomed to such structures

You obviously haven’t seen their pigeon lofts.

 

[STUMPY]

I might move.

I might buy one for the brat, I measured her bedroom up months ago to turn into my home office but she still ain't got the hint

 

[Longy]

Just tell them it’s non flammable.
