Is Stratford Rubbish?

[Lex]

Stratford's a congested, overpriced tourist attraction, but there's a lot worse places to live!

I've not visited for a while now, but last time I did, I would in all fairness say it had deteriorated. But crap? That's a bit strong. There are far worse places!

Hallo Everyone--I'm back again with my second new ankle replacement and all seems well up to now.
Regarding Stratford, I love it even with the tower.My daughter too, she moved there 3 years ago.
The teens like it too although they have gone to Newquay for the summer to work
Granddaughter went to Bridgetown school and has done really well in everything, coming top in everything.
All I can say is try to like it, there are worse places.
Imagine living in a cramped industrial city--or even Skegness which I visited afew weeks ago.

Oooh.. Good to see you back Cathi. I suspect you will be preparing for the next London Marathon soon?
