You're right NT. I'm fortunate enough to reside in the Athens of the Clyde (ie: Motherwell), but even this wouldn't suffice if money were no object. I'd do a Gavin Maxwell and move to somewhere like Camusfearna on the Northwest coast, with only the otters for company; and I'd turn my money into gold sovereigns and spend all sitting down by candlelight counting them.

I'm just down the road in wonderful Hamilton, but these days no-one needs to go out - ASDA etc deliver, you can do lottery online and all sorts of gambling, there is Amazon and eBay for things like your DVDs.

I find that quite shocking that you can now live without going out the door!

I would live in one of the upper floors of the old RSAMD theatre building on Buchanan Street. Have visited it a few times when it was in use and the rooms above the theatre are magnificent — large open plan with side rooms. Plaster work details with musical notation and instruments.

Indeed if money were no object I would just have the entire building.

Not sure what I would do with the basement theatre itself - perhaps a comedy/night culb

Home is what you make it no matter where it is. Money and greed seem to be the focus on desrability of postcode.

Buy a house next to a certain royal club owner in Glasgow and fill it full of junkies and dossers. The prick done me out of thousands while i worked in the fruit market.
Thank you. And why not.

Turnberry Avenue is pretty nice, quiet (id buy the school and get rid of it ;) ) and within walking distance of pubs and transport to get away from it all.

One of those nice BIG houses.

Failing that I'd get one in Pollokshields up the Sherbrooke end, some stunners up there.

I was interested in a punt myself, when I lived in Wemyss Bay the jungle drums said it was on sale but never on a public basis, god forbid a house like this would be sold inline with regular peoples houses.

Anyways it's public now and you can build a wee hoose on the lawn. The apartments look comfortable I'm sure you could stay cosy even on the coldest most windlashed day. Added bonus is you'd be 5 minutes walk from the UK's finest butcher ;)

Being fair you do have almost all of Wemyss Bay before you get anywhere near Inverkip. Plus Inverkip has a Sainsburys (or at least they did last time I passed through), well you wouldn't want to buy those low price Heinz Baked Beans now would you :wink: ::):
