Idle chit chat about Surbiton

Con man. Be Aware

9 years ago...

For some reason I havent seen this reported in the Surrey Comet online. However there is a con man in the Long Ditton area who is knocking on doors asking to use the phone. He says he is working next door and needs a locksmith. He uses the phone then asks to borrow money and subsequently vanishes. Just be aware.

Dog Sitter

I am in the market for a dog visitor who would be prepared to give my Frenchie a little time, and just walk him up the road for a few minutes, on his lead, on occasions when I have to be out for an extended period. Must be real dog lover and utterly trustworthy.

Beauty Salon

9 years ago...

Hello Everyone,

There is a possibility that I will be opening up a Beauty Salon in Surbiton- I have been in the industry for 6 years as a manager and a beauty therapist.

I have done my research and have noticed that most salons are offering pretty much the same treatments and products. Could I have your opinions on what you would want from your locals Beauty Salons?
Do you want something different?

We want to make it very comfortable for both men and women to enjoy treatments with us.
All feedback would be massively appreciated !!
Thank you

more beggars it beggars belief

Just strolling into Surbiton High Street today in the nice weather and hey more beggars lying around making the place look unwholesome. Think I saw that guy again who got a custodial sentence last time? Right on the corner of St James Road at the HSBC bank. So it looks like he is back in town plus a cohort this time fully dressed in battle fatigues I guess he wants us to think he is Ex services? Going to be a regular pantomime ? maybe we will get a couple of guys dressed up as a horse next? They should make it a lame horse but might make people feel compelled to offer some money .

Seamstress

Hello,

Does anybody know a good seamstress from some clothes' alterations?

I usually use the dry cleaners near the Pound Shop and occasionally I have taken some stuff to alter too. They are OK but not fantastic and now I have a few delicate dresses I need to alter and I don't trust them enough.

Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Begging in Victoria road

10 years ago...

Victoria Road seems to be suffering from an increased influx of drunks begging for money. I was asked for money Saturday morning opposite Boots the chemist, and was spat at when I carried on by. Opposite was a handful of drunks slumped around in shop doorways. What is happening to surbiton ? Be nice to see some police around to remove these individuals.

Hi all,

We are looking for a babysitter to look after our 1 year old son, mainly in the evenings when he is sleeping.

Maybe someone's interested, or someone knows someone?

Thanks,
