No in-breeding in Wantage? Im afraid you aint been here long matey.....been going on for years and the ones with 6 fingers on each hand are some of the more normal ones around here. Wantage the new Didcot.....? Less than 5 years away if you ask me.

Your all being a bit silly now. If this is the case then would you move to Didcot or Abingdon? the answer is probably No.

Wrong! I have not long moved from Grove to Didcot and I couldn't be more pleased!, the train station is a short walk away, superb shops within walking distance, ample free parking choice of sports centres...and...the neighbours and people in general seem nicer. Maybe I'm biased but for me the grass is greener.

House prices are ridiculous and will defo depreciate so a local estae agent tells me. The local police say its much worse than gets reported and we are considering moving to Didcot as the area is being regenerated. As there is no work around Wantage/Grove yet 1000s of jobs available in Didcot......it now seems that this area is in full decline. Dont ask me, ask the police, doctors, lawyers, eastate agents and elderly who all seem to think the same. Every area has its time......Chapeltown in Leeds was one of the most expensive places to live at one time.......now? Its the cheapest in Leeds and most are boarded up. Wantage will be next.
