Moaning Minnies!

19 years ago...

Does anyone else get totally fed up by all the older aged pensioners (and some younger aged pensioners!) moaning and complaining about their "lot" all the time and also taking up space in queues during the lunch hour as if they've got no other time to shop in the day?

Look you guys have had your days running the world as it was in your "war torn days", now if you don't like the way we run the world during "our days" then maybe you are either jealous that we are more successful at it than you were, and you should just get with it if that's the case, or alternatively, just possibly, maybe, this world isn't for you anymore!

Good news wanted

The Surbiton.com news feed is turning into a list of local crime. There's good news out there, it's just not reported so much in the local papers.

The fact is our news articles are taken from stories published on the internet and most news sites prefer headline-grabbing crime stories, which gives visitors to this site a very unbalanced image of Surbiton.

In view of this we're asking users to make more use of our Submit News feature to post their own articles about local events and news happening in the neighbourhood.

While we're on the subject, Surbiton has a very high-ranking hockey team, and the Berrylands Lawn Tennis Championship is world-renowned. In light of this Surbiton.com would like to enlist the assistance of a sports writer. If you're interested in donating a couple of hours, please use the Feedback link to get in contact with us.
