Are you buying Gayle's house?

It's the oldest, most historic part of Ossy, and you'll have about six Accy Webbers living five minutes walk away, my good self included, so it's not a bad area.

There's a house to let on there in the Observer. Bit pricey but I thought if I move to Ossy I can face my family and friends without having to admit I live in Accy

How much trouble do you get from kids wondering down to the nature reserve to set fire to things Gayle?

Re: The Straits, Ossy
I live just round the corner from The Straits. And its a great area. I know which house you mean and the only problem there is the parking. Its right across from the town hall and the gym, so your always getting people going there parking in front of your house, and theres a second hand shop on the corner. He tends to park his van very willy nilly! Theres no problem with the kids round here..... its the adults you wanna watch out for!!
