Single room, Bathroom (shower sink and toilet), and a shared kitchen.
£62 a week + a few pence,
That includes, council tax, gas, water, tv license etc.
You have to buy electricity for your own room.
And internet is £10 a month.

:shock: Whoa that's cheap... I'm guessing quality isn't up to much?

(...or perhaps I'm oblivious to just how much cheaper life is once you leave the South...)

The norther you go the cheaper it gets or so it seems.
My fella pays nearly £400 for a one bedroomed council flat in Harlow essex. Yet up in Manchester you can get a council flat for nearly half that.
It's mental.


It's just like student accommodation.

That site is wrong. Sorry but it is.
I was told by the warden the deposit includes 2 weeks rent and it is £270, so what they are saying is wrong.
Alton Towers need to update the site on that part, but I put that down to bad communication between Castle Estates and themselves.
It's £62.odd a week, plus electricity.

Washing machine is £2 per wash
Internet is £10 a month.
Dryer is £1 per 20 minutes.

So I think the laundrette will be coming handy as I find that a bit expensive tbh!
I would say it's nicer than the student halls I have been in.

I think that's the Adventure Land area.

Beastie, Squirrel Nutty, Tractors etc, I think. Unsure though, don't quote me.

Hum...

Perhaps Team Oblivion do, when the Team Leaders introduced themselves, they went through what they run super-fast. :P

Would make sense to have Team Oblivion run Sonic too though.

Come on guys, I've had to edit the vast majority of posts on this page, because effort being put into posting is just not... there.

I know a lot of you have only signed up for support over your applications, but please can you take care to ensure your posts are readable. This includes SPG and hitting the 'Shift' key for beginnings of sentences and names. Please also write the full words! :)

Thank you! :)

As Kaycee mentioned a few posts above, can people please make an effort with their posts, as the posting quality is still rather poor. Not that we want people to think they are stitting an English exam :P , but capitalising start of sentences, the I's and names wouldn't go amiss. :D It makes things easier to read and keeps things looking tidy.

On topic, well done to everybody who has got a job at the Resort. Hope you all like it.
