I shouldn't think Uxbridge will be the main attraction for Cardiff fans before or after a FA cup final.

Uxbridge is (or was, at least. It may be entirely different now I suppose) a horrible, dirty shithole of a place.

Had the misfortune of living there for a bit in my younger days and I just remember it feeling like the most depressing, awful place I'd ever been.

Uxbridge is nice.. example.. a 3 bedroom house is shitty Newhaven. 150k. a 3 bedroom house in hillingdon (Uxbridge) 500k

But you'd want to live in Horsham though.

Good call. A really long main road, but not a single pub.

Erm ... that just means that you pay more for the same thing in Uxbridge.

 

[Jake Manthorpe]

Ok, we have a tube station 2 shopping centers loads of fastfood reasturants.. what more do you need?! oh and about 5 or 6 football league teams within 30 mins.. LUSH

I'd rather live in Newhaven than Uxbridge any day, you'd have to PAY me 500k to even consider going back there. For a start, we're at least in a nice part of the world here, Uxbridge is in Middlesex, which isn't.

I remember our first night in that place (bearing in mind we lived on the base), being woken up by men with sandbags because the river at the back of our house had flooded the garden.

It was all downhill from there.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the town's one redeeming feature...a direct route out of it.

I was at the time (or my Dad was, more accurately). Most of the time he was in the RAF, we were stationed at Brize Norton, with short stays in Uxbridge and Stanmore.

Lovely, so you got to experience the delights of 'Cartoontown' (as it was so wittily named at school).

All in all, I spent about 12 of the first 16 years of my life there, so know it rather well. Did you stay on the base itself or in one of the off-base quarters? What part of the RAF were you in? My Dad was in TCW.
