Thanks RainyDay...what i said in my post is not "absolute rubbish" as diddles said. sometimes the truth is hard to swallow. What i have said is correct. I don't believe in getting into a war of words over where you live, if you have a problem with what i said, correct it, don't just go off on a big rant.
The area of douglas i'm referring to as rough are pinecroft/ardfield/amberley as this is where my friends live and where there houses have been broken into. This is still douglas so my point that it was rough in general still stands.
What i said about mountoval is also correct, but Legend99 seems to ignore this now.
WRT the traffic situation: it was not a vital decision for me or mywife and for many other people...otherwise why is carrigaline one of the fastest growing towns for the last few years....not everybody can't be wrong. but for some people traffic is a problem... and it comes down to what they want after that..
