I was working in a Casino there. 1983.
Bloke I worked with had a flat, and I lived there for about 6 months when he worked abroad. I'm not sure, memory not clear and all that, it might have been called Downs Court. Private block at the end of Downs rd. Nice flats, were new at the time I think, the area not great, but the applies to the whole town, as you know. |

The advantage of living in Luton is that you will not be part of a Mono-Culture.
There are representatives from all corners of the Globe. Its an area blessed with great racial diversity and every racial gang and/or group get on famously with each other, all the time. Whats not to enjoy? |

It was only 2 storeys high, and had its own maintenance man, 2 bedroom iirc. Strange to think it's 26 years ago :(

update for anyone who is interested.
Saw the flat this morning, not too bad imo, spend a grandon it and it would be tip top. Is in a house with 3 other, bigger, 1 bed flats. is in a right state though,they've all been repo'ed and no one knows who the free holder is (can ensure against this apparently for about ten quid a month in case he turns up and asks for money, which sounds like a bargain to me). Trouble is the communal areas are fked and the garden is a mess, and the flat is on the top,so you have to walk through all that cra.p or sort it out. would be reluctant to spend money sorting it out when it is the freeholder's job. The final tur.d in the water pipe is that the services are not split, so there are big problems when the other flats come up for sale (they were all bought by the same person with different banks, all v. dodgy). How much does it cost to get them "split"? I'm guessing a lot, anyone an expert in this area. At the very least it is a lawyer job, and I don't really want to fork out for a lawyer if he doesn't tell me what I want to hear. At least I know why it was so cheap. If sparky or anyone has any advice it would be v. welcome. my instinct is not to touch it with a bargepole. |

Sorry mate, I've no idea. Sounds like something a legal expert could make money on, but a money pit for someone like me! I'd steer clear.

might leave it I think. If i was loaded and could buy the other 3 and do them
up and rent them out as they cameon the market,it might be a good idea, but i can't do that. oh well, was a nice idea while it lasted. |

two of my problems were actually sorted straight away...
no loud junkie neighbours to cope with (there are no neighbours) no excessive monthly fees to the freeholder (there is no freeholder and £10/month covers the lot via insurance) it had a decent garden which would be bonza with a litle care and attention. |

Whatever happened to the OP ?

Facts.
rob dylans internet mate, scandanivian haven, always said that the forum was anonymous. CMAT proved time and again it wasn’t as he had met quite a few others, such as gogoidle, staggy. pumphol, studyform, donemylot, madmadmoon, thecoat, aspro and buffy. Fenway and paddy hair came and said hello to CMAT when he was working at the Cheltenham Festival. Sundancekid, curious cat and josey wales have all visited CMAT’s home separately, and they all got lost as he really did live in the middle of nowhere. CMAT and studyform worked with joseywales and sevenone on course at The Cheltenham Festival, Royal Ascot and Aintree. There may be more a few more, that can’t be recalled. So much for an anonymous forum. Here’s the funny bit: CMAT and his other names proved to be quite popular as no less than 5 people (who shall remain nameless) offered him spare accounts when he was banned. And CMAT never hid once, he knew the grasses would get him in the end. And this is even funnier: Positively4thsteet (note the missing ‘r’ in street, a sure sign of a person who drinks too much) teamed up with scandanavian haven (another spelling error) and his mate Wesdag, and they decided that CMAT was a sad loser for getting multiple identities to get back on the forum once he was banned. This is what happened to the OP. He was recently banned. He had at LEAST 3 previous names. He was also ‘E L Wisty’ and ‘rob dylan.’ MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS! How sad is that after what HE said about CMAT Perhaps, if he was here, he could explain why he got multiple bans. Has one of his anonymous forum friends offered him a spare account? If so, will he have the bottle to show his true identity and risk another ban? I doubt it. |
