I go by bike Q3 .
Matt:
Oh I wish I could do that. Is it safe to cycle around the city?
Linda:
Yes, it’s fine and it keeps me fit. Anyway, driving to work in the city center would be a
nightmare because
there’s hardly any parking Q4 . And the traffic during the rush-hour
can be bad.
Matt:
I’d be working from home but I’d have to go to London one or two days a week.
Linda:
Oh, that’s perfect! Getting to London is no problem.
There’s a fast train every 30 minutes Q5 which only takes 45 minutes.
Matt:
That’s good.
Linda:
Yeah. The train service isn’t bad during the week and they run quite late at night.
It’s weekends that are a problem Q6 . They’re always doing engineering work and you have
to take a bus to Haddam and pick up the train there which is really slow. But other than
that, Banford’s a great place to live. I’ve never been happier.
Linda:
There are some nice restaurants in the city center and a brand-new
cinema which has only been open a couple of months Q7 . There’s a good art center too.
Matt:
Sounds like Bamford’s got it all.
Linda:
Yes, we’re really lucky. There are lots of really good aspects to living here. The schools are
good and
the hospital here is one of the best in the country Q7 . Everyone I know who’s
been there’s had a positive experience. Oh, I can give you the name of my
dentist too in Bridge street Q8 if you’re interested. I’ve been going to him for years and I’ve never had
any problems.
Matt:
Oh, okay, thanks.
Linda:
I’ll find his number and send it to you.
Matt:
Thanks. That would be really helpful.
Linda:
Are you planning to visit Banford soon?
Matt:
Yes, my wife and I are both coming next week. We want to make some appointments with
Estate agents.
Linda:
I could meet you if you like and show you around.
Matt:
Are you sure? We’d really appreciate that.
Linda:
Either a Tuesday or
