Idle chit chat about Surbiton

food and drink stealing at Supermarkets Waitrose-MArks and Spencer

16 years ago...

I was comgin out of Marks & Spencer's a couple of weeks ago when the security guy confronted a young man (27 ish) polsih /czech possibly due to accent,and the man unwittingly was escorted out around 4pm time. I saw the guy walk up to Surbiton station and met a younger girl on one the benches by the roundabout. Later while I was shopping in Waitrose this same girl was at the drink section stuffing 3 cans of beer into her shoulder bag. I called the security guy attention, but she was laready gone.

Anybody know what is happening with these guys and their various developments around Surbiton. The Brighton Road site seems to have come to a stand still. Is the Plaza finished?

Pigeon fouling Brighton Road railway bridge

Dear Mr Davey,

Pigeon fouling Brighton Road railway bridge

For many years, pigeons have been roosting amongst the cross member iron girders.

This has meant that faeces have piled up on the girders, peppered the road and splattered over the pavements.

To get to and from work, I walk under this bridge twice a day. Indeed, over the last twelve months I have failed to dodge descending dung four times with disgusting results.

Where is the best place to advertise a room to rent in my flat in Surbiton?

16 years ago...

Hi

I'm looking to rent a room in my flat, and have used various websites (gumtree, flatshare.com etc), but am having no luck at all yet. I suspect pricing has something to do with it, however, other flats I have seen advertised are a lot smaller than mine and you have to share a bathroom. My flat is really big, as is the room I am looking to rent, and it has its own bathroom.

If anyone knows of anyone wanting a room, or can suggest where would be good for me to advertise, please let me know.

Thanks v much

Building work started at DST House

16 years ago...

I appears that building work has now started at the DST building. I was hoping that the recession might delay this, but apparently not.

For those that don't know, permission has somehow been granted for a large extension to what is already the most over-bearing building in Surbiton town centre.

Social group or singles club

Hi,
I am a single divorced man living in Surbiton. I wondered if anyone knew of any social groups or singles clubs in Surbiton, for single people to meet up?

Surbiton Band

16 years ago...

So last Monday, i was in Kingston and i saw a band playing infront of the church across from John Lewis. Unfortunately just as we got there they said they'd take a break for 30 mins but that they played Thursday nights somewhere in surbiton (couldn't exactly hear where). I think it was at a place called something-Bell. Does anyone know where this band plays? I'd love to go see them.

They wore white and red stripes and were playing trumpets and stuff.
