I have read quite a lot of the forums from other sites in Basingstoke. They all seem to be full of people moaning and complaining about the town and the area in which they live.

Dont they realize that by complaining like they do they help the poeple who want to put down Basingstoke. They could also be reducing the value of their homes and everyone elses. As they say Location, Location, Location and if people think an area isnt very nice then they wont move there. Eventually the area will go downhill as nobody will wont to live there.

If they dont like the area then move, if they do then they should get off their butts and do something, help improve the area.

Just STOP moaning, I for one enjoy living in Basingstoke, its a great place to bring up my kids and its better than Reading (officially the worst place to bring up a family).
