Fortunes

I agree Fortunes is excellent. Not quite a restaurant, not quite a pub and not quite a coffee bar- just somewhere unique.
God knows why it is now known as Allegro !
Mad Hatters and election
malcolm_smith_2000
Mad hatters is re-opening tomorrow.
Wierd isn't it ?
Remember to vote tomorrow everybody- no matter who you are voting for.
With a majority of 56, we are priviliged in Kingston & Surbiton in having the opportunity to really make our votes counts.

Tactical voting in Surbiton
malcolm_smith_2000
Ok, not everyone will agree with the politics here, but I just thought I'd inspire a bit of life into this discussion group.
In the forthcoming elections the seats held by Edward Davey (MP, Kingston and Surbiton, Liberal Democrat) and Roger Casale (MP-Lab, Wimbledon) are being threatened by William Hague's candidates. To ensure that Hague does not regain Southwest London, I am encouraging LibDem and Labour supporters to vote tactically. If the Labour supporters in Kingston and Surbiton vote for Edward Davey and the LibDem supporters in Wimbledon vote for Roger Casale, both MPs will hold their seats and we will help avoid the nightmare of Hague in Number Ten.
Council Tax in Surbiton
rapidefire
I moved to the area August 1999 from Balham - Surbiton is a great place to live ( shopping eating,commuting), but the C/tax is farcical - its double the amount we had paid under Wandsworth Council , and the services the council provides are a Joke compared to W/worth .
TheC/tax is going up again this year by almost 10% - any got any comments on this . I,m not a political animal , but this issue is becoming a real bugbear .

Allegro
malcolm_smith_2000
I think Allegro (up until recently called Fortunes) is great.
What does everyone else think ?
Surbiton Station

Did Surbiton station ever have a lift on the Glenbuck Road side ?
