Okay...well if the Northern Softies are gonna be hanging out there I guess I'd better get myself booked in :)

And, as the great JB said, "It's got to be FUNKY!"

We left as early as we could, and while taking a cab to the train station two hours earlier than we needed to, our cab driver informed us that Nanford house was a notorious drug den that doubled as a "house of ill repute." That was the icing on the cake for us! To anyone who is contemplating staying there for an inexpensive night in Oxford, spend the extra few pounds to not be in squalor. If money is really that tight, the local park bench would be at least a comparable option!

Yup, we've seen the reviews, but some of us prefer to stay in the cheapest, nastiest place in town. :wink: :lol:

I'm no coward either. I've eaten at the Nanford, so there :P

Mind you I did used to live in shared accommodation that nobody ever cleaned, and regularly swam in seawater containing untreated sewage (you could see the outflow pipe with bogroll and tampons coming out of it) so I'm possibly immune to most things now.

I personally like their secure parking facilities. Once the carpark is full there's no way anyone's car will get stolen unless they come with a crane :)

Just watch for ladders against your window, and the ant powder around the walls.
