Calling Bideford

Post by Squiggle »

Hi

Anyone know what it could be like to live in East the Water, Bideford?

Where would the nearest branch be?

Thanks.

PS Great music playing on:

Hi Chrissie,
Exeter or maybe somewhere in the heart of the Cornish Morris Minor Club land.
Are you thinking of emigrating?

Very remote chance of a homeswap that would happen in November, if at all.

Going to view next weekend.

Will check and see if there's a bit of land big enough for the National

:lol: :lol:

East The Water... Hmmm... I live about 16 miles from there. Some locals refer to it as 'Bideford East' in order to be discreet about where they live!! Bideford is in a lovely spot, sadly it's not all it could be and needs some TLC. East the Water is the lower class part of the town. I'm not saying any more for fear of offending someone! Having said that I don't live there so you'd be best seeing it for yourself.

Many thanks.

I heard similar when visiting Bideford town last year.
