Let's move to Thame, Oxfordshire | Money | The Guardian

Let's move to Thame, Oxfordshire | Money | The Guardian

What's going for it? If Thame were a person, I fancy it as Peter Bowles, in his late 70s To The Manor Born phase. Of a certain vintage, ruddy-faced, fruity. I imagine that behind the facades of the pretty old houses live antiques dealers who wear non-ironic cravats, or doughty ladies concerned about their ceanothuses, and with "pasts" long ago, on and off King's Road. Thame metamorphosed from cute-looking farming town to escape-for-raffish-up-from-Londoners ....

The case against Not as expensive or snobbish as the Cotswolds have become, but not far off....
