I have to say that I agree with some of the comments about the houses. The Germans destroyed Southampton and the Brits destroyed the rebuild. Its really sad it looks terrible.

If money isnt so bad, flats Ocean village. I dont know your finances or if indeed you like boats but that is the nicest place in Soutahmpton.

www.rightmove.com they have a section for Ocean Village and actually southampton so you can look at prices etc.

Not that I am ever one for upsetting a bank manager! Other than that the bars are nice. When you are here, have a trip to Lymington. Its so much nicer and can be driven there in less than an hour.
