next to a school

[sarahbell 14,385]

I've lived right next to a school before, but not by the road side of it, if that makes sense.

This I imagine is chocka with cars at school in/out time. 

Ignore potential concerns about land being earmarked for housing all around. 

Out of my budget though, so irrelevant really, just spent some time on rightmove again.

Is the noise pollution from the M62 thrown in for the somewhat chunky price?

I was going to say, doubt you'd hear the school kids playing with the M62 so near. And that's the only benefit IMO, the god awful pushy mummies twice a day blocking the road would do my head in so I wouldn't live there, no.

I grew up next to a school. Our driveway was right next to the school driveway. The mothers that parked over it, saying 'sorry, I was only gone 10 minutes' were a pain in the arse but there were a few that actually parked on our drive, blocking my car in, and then got abusive with me when I asked them to move.

There have always been some incredibly selfish people about.

Id've put a sign out front 'yummy mummy parking only, see inside for qualifying criteria'

Looks idyllic with the Pennines in the distance towards Rochdale. No mention of the drawbacks in the EA particulars. Needs an outside sucker without local knowledge (and viewing it at a weekend) to buy it like me I guess.

Do you really think teachers work 8-5?

At mine, they'd have arrived back to find their exit blocked by my security bollard and some very loud music on in the house. "Terribly sorry, didn't hear you knocking..."

If you were a single guy 20-40 with the gift of the gab, I reckon living next to where the yummy mummies wait for their kids could be gash heaven.

 

Not be crude, or owt....

For the most part that would be okay, but it would be hell on parent's evenings, school performance, after-school activity day, etc, etc.

When my kids started school I thought - Great. Ill go up there and there'll wall to wall babes.

Nope.

Less women 'hitting the wall'', more eating it.
