Its funny but only this morning ( maybe after seeing this thread ) I was thinking how little investment some Guys make in one of the most important decisions of their lives.

When I tore myself away from my beloved Inner South London in 1983 to move to The Outer London Suburbs I interviewed the potential neighbours for 90 minutes and they interrogated us! lol

Spent hours viewing my new Avenue at DIFFERENT times of the day/week and liked what I saw and 27 years later would not dream of moving, unless, I was really unlucky with any new neighbours.
