It's Ushaw Moor, FFS!

It's not even one of those online agents.

Cute house if you can see past the orange pine, mind.

I was amused, a while back, to discover that "Shiny Row" still seems to be the insult of choice among Sunderland teens.

I'm only over the hill from here and have seen this so many times it's painful. Also saw browney spelt as Brownie once. cringe

All the posters for the circus at "Spennymore" last year 😪

I can spell it but how do you pronounce it? My parents are buying a house there.

PickAChew · 02/11/2017 20:39

Usher!

Hence the misspelling, though the final syllable tends to be lengthened slightly. They'll have to get used to"Mooer' if moor doesn't naturally roll off the tongue like that, for them.

When I've heard people say it is sounds more like Oosher Moore, but I am southern.

PickAChew · 02/11/2017 21:02

Yep, as in pusher, rather than rasher ;)

Why is it so dirt cheap?

PickAChew · 02/11/2017 21:13

Because it's not in London and well outside of the eyewateringly expensive bit of Durham. You can buy a good sized terrace in a safe area with ample parking and garden for a 5 figure sum, up here.

Now this is a properly "quirky" house - with a price that fencesitter might find less unusual :o

Comes with its own well!

I'll have that one please (in my dreams!)

Wow that’s cheap. Wish my job and family could all relocate up north. I might be able to stop renting!
