It's nice down your way, I used to live next door in Poole.

The Poole border is at the bottom of my road, although it still ‘feels’ like Bournemouth for about another mile. Yes, it is nice down here.

I wouldn't mind a house on Sandbanks. Me and Harry Redknapp would be good neighbours. 😁

When he bought it, it cost £15,000,000. I wouldn’t like to guess how much it would cost today.

It'll be double now at least.

Sandbanks prices are mental!

I know mate, It's unreal.

Apparently in the top 4 most expensive places to live in the world per square metre!

Beautiful pics Andy, seems like a sweet spot
How's the fishing?

[–] AndyKing1967 (33837) 4 years ago

I know I'm always joking about how it's always sunny here, but I truly wouldn't choose to live anywhere else in the UK. As for the fishing? I'm no expert, but pretty good from what I can gather (here's a link): -

Thanks for the link, very informative!
Sounds like they have some fine spots, smart tactics and a wide variety of species to take on

I'm mostly a local fresh water guy but I do love to fish the salt once in awhile
Many of the saltwater fish taste better too
