October 19, 2005: We are Berkoids!
After four months of stress and frustration we finally exchanged contracts. You may have noticed a distinct lack of posts on Brainfire recently. This is due to the final weeks of the purchase taking up all my time and the last thing I wanted to was blog.
But now, I’m a very happy man. Next Friday 28th October I pick up the keys to my wonderful little home. I can’t wait. Berko here I come!

Fantastic news, buddy. Can't wait for you to be our neighbour! Congratulations :o)
How my Berkhamsted has changed -from a quaint little market town to a congested rat race of IT incomers -hence the reason why I packed up and left it all to the new orange eaters who frequent Waitrose rather than Tesco!
I've only been here 60 years and never met a berkoid. Berkhamstedian yes (berk even).
Welcome to our little town.
Thanks very much Norman. A more welcoming message than the previous.
Berkhamstedian seems a bit of a mouthful though. Berkoid rolled off the tongue. Maybe I'll opt for Berk then - only one syllable.

Congratulations !!
