Yeah, I heard Sam Smith say something similar once. He 'didn't do happy'

One of my neighbours works from home. Her parents live half an hour away and occasionally, when her dad isn't well, she can take her laptop and work from their home.
Working from home also means you're not tied to ANY location.
Sell your £295,000 3 bedroom terraced house in London....

and buy a nice detached 4 bedroom house close to Lincoln for about the same money.

Maybe all her friends and family are near where she lives now? ? Besides Lincoln is a dump ?

At least you don't have to pay extra to drive around it.
How much is the congestion charges these days?

Its obviously not very desirable to live in Lincoln. Don't know why as I have never been, lack of transport or jobs? but that is a nice looking house and should be more than that. The horrible looking house in Edgware is on sale by Auction, it will be interesting to see what it goes for.

Postman woke me up Monday to hand me a parcel for the neighbour across the way. Brilliant. She works from home, always has. Puzzling. Annoying.
Woke me up again today, decided I’m not getting up I’ve not ordered anything for Royal Mail to deliver. If I have I know to be up or at home. Amazon and DPD just leave in the garage which is always open. Whatever it is it’s not for me.
Turns out what I’ve ordered off Amazon Royal Mail was delivering it today.

Will be a welcome (all be it short-lived) relief to the Ed Sheeran love in on commercial radio at least?

A family have moved in next door..they used to live in London and he had a office.
Sold what they had, bought next door for cash, built and office where the garage was and works from there.
Loves it....and he's a good guy too.

Yup, I have worked from home for ten years plus now. on starting my last job 7 years ago, co refused to put me on a WFH contract. I have an office and that's my official base. all be it, its 50 miles away and I go there 5 times a year even pre covid! Was cheaper and easier for them this way...

house prices round me have gone mental. will go higher when crossrail is finished too. I can be in Paddington in 41 minutes now from Newbury, soon it will be possible to be in Liverpool street in the same time nearly! But a 3 minutes walk and I have miles and miles of countryside.

That's the whole point if you work from home, you can live anywhere.

If your pockets are a bit deeper, still change from £500,000.

Not to mention the local golf club memberships under £900

All very fine unless you need to move South in future for works etc and you 'spent' the surplus capital

Why would you move down south if you work from home?
You sell your tiny house down south for £500k, move somewhere else and buy a very nice house for the same money, there is no surplus.

It's been said before but people with shopping trollies in the basket only section.
Just been to a large Tesco and the normal tills were quite busy, not a problem, I was only getting lunch and the basket checkout is usually quiet.
Wrong!
Queue down the aisle as there were numerous people with trollies in there, not just a bit of shopping either but rammed to the top ?
Staff stood doing nothing, no manager around the police it.
Absolutely no shame these people.
Rant over.
