Andad · 14 July 2008, 07:08 PM

C'mon Steve....who would own up to that.

2careless · 14 July 2008, 07:11 PM

If you pay me a ticket to UK, I'll check it out for ya. Just US$2.8k economy return. I'll use my own frequent flyer points to upgrade to premium ok?

swatty · 14 July 2008, 07:13 PM

jdc · 14 July 2008, 07:13 PM

I think its in the middle

dkpw · 14 July 2008, 07:35 PM

Middlesex is basically the north of London and its spread. Some good bits - some bad.

swatty · 14 July 2008, 07:54 PM

I think he means be careful Steve

stevemulholland3 · 14 July 2008, 08:08 PM

see thats why I love this forum!I would have thought it was a decent part of the country.
mow I will have to re-think this deal..I was hoping there was someone living right there who might know the guy or know the area real well.
so what is it like a ghetto?

swatty · 14 July 2008, 08:10 PM

have you been there peter?

swatty · 14 July 2008, 08:14 PM

I was there in 1985 . From memory it wasn't on my list of places in Europe to go back to . Not that is was bad , just I saw so many other amazing places .

jdc · 14 July 2008, 08:23 PM

To be serious Steve, Middlesex is a densely populated North London area. There are many towns - even if you know the town it can be hard to judge - every town has different areas with a mix of affluence/poverty and these are often very close together.
Unless you find someone who lives in the area and you can give them the postal address its going to be difficult to answer. Good luck

arttay10 · 14 July 2008, 08:23 PM

No where near to me Steve - I'm more North West.

Have you heard of 'Ali G' ??
I'm sure 'Staines' is in borough of Middlesex - if my memory serves me right.

Steve - Being honest Martin is right.
It matters not the demographic of the area - as there's good and bad.
Unless you can knock on the door - you can never tell.

stevemulholland3 · 14 July 2008, 08:56 PM

alright,thanks for all the replies guys.I am afraid the money I save would not be worth all the hassles involved.this guy has a "w" series 16613 that he will let go for 2,500.

TIGGRRR · 15 July 2008, 03:54 AM

I was born in Middlesex and it is now a small County. It spreads over a part of London that starts on the North bank of the River Thames, and includes the area where Liz and Phil live, thats the Queen and Prince Philip to you non locals.

Baptistman · 15 July 2008, 04:06 AM

Middlesex is an ok place, Enfield is quite nice, no different to many places.
