In my village their are two "Chippies" and one Chinese Takeaway. One of the "Chippies" is nearly adjacent to the Chinese Takeaway.

A smallish development of private houses has just been finished on land immediately to the rear of both premises.......:|

Would you buy one of these properties?.......

I wouldn't want to live next door to one because of smells and noise, but I wouldn't mind living near one - i.e. a couple of doors away. I think it'd be handy :D

I could shout my order to about 20 takeaways from my front door (London Rd.)!!!!!

The smells are bizarre - everytime you walk out of our house there is a different scent on the air: fish and chips....... then prawn toast...... balti five minutes later....... tomatoey garlic from an italian restaurant after that etc. etc.- very strange indeed!

No - as most of the drunks on their way back home from the pub would certainly stop by, and the litter.

I rent my place atm and it's within gobbing distance from two chinese takeaways, one indian, four pizza places one KFC and a baked potato place. It's all ok by and large, I can steel my resolve not to venture in to one of them quite adequately.

It's alright but you do tend to get tides of drunken spazzwits weaving their way about the place in search of dead seagull and road kill badger which masquerade as kebabs. Occassionally one of these inebriated miscreants decides to foul my gennel with their 40% proof urine ..... then it's not so good :(

I used to live opposite an old fashioned chippy in Salford. The area was just terraced housing, no pubs, so there was never a problem with drunks and I can't recall there ever being a problem with "youths" and the like. The only drawback was the overwhelming temptation every night to not cook something but just go to the chippy instead.

When I was a student in Walkley it was a nightmare because after several pints down the Uni I'd have to walk past the Lalbagh Indian on the way home and I'd always get the munchies and end up going in there. Thats the reason I've got a fat gut - all those curries.

Nothing to do with the beer......really....
