For the past couple of years, more and more nefarious persons seem to have been lurking around outside the YMCA.
Could somebody explain what the situation is there?

My brother thinks naive philanthropic businesspersons are lifting down & outs from the ghetto and bringing them to Surrey in an attempt to rehabilitate them, is that true?

Is it just me or is it impossible to go shopping without being accosted by charity collectors! I find then intimidating and rude, they do nothing for the worthy causes they are representing.....

The economy is faltering, City experts warn today.
The prediction follows a slowdown in factory output and a drop in retail spending. One banker warns of a 'real risk' of a High Street recession.

A report from the CBI shows retail sales last month suffered their biggest fall since July 1992.

The sudden note of pessimism comes the day before voting and as Tony Blair and Gordon Brown hail their economic record as the 'central issue' for the election.

Analysts said the economic outlook was deteriorating fast. 'The economy is tipping over and there is a real risk of a High Street reces

Hello everybody, I'm Max from Italy I stayed in Surbiton last September for the hollyday to study the English language.

Vote Conservative and return Britain to the wonderful days of old.

Put the British first before immigrants and bogus asylum seekers and rid the streets of out of work homeless British people. Make it unattractive for them to come here and send a load back to where they came from, especially those from Eastern Europe.

Make thugs and criminals pay heavily for their crimes.

Bing back discipline to the schools as well as good school meals.

Stop allowing ethnic minorities telling us what we can say or do and teach in our schools. This is Britain. If they don't like it go back to their own country.

Did you know that Surbiton.Com is a political weather vane to certain people and is read all over the world.

Thank god that the people recently posting on this forum are in the minority in Kingston and Surbiton!

As the petite, middle-aged teacher shouts desperately for the 20th time for the out-of-control class to be quiet, a faint, childish boy's voice can be heard, calling out above the deafening din: "Suck me off, miss".
The appalling scene of classroom disorder and disrespect is just one of many captured on film for a channel Five documentary, to be screened this week.

The documentary shows children aged from 12 to 15 completely ignoring her and other staff while they shout, scream, fight, swear and wander around the classroom at will.

In one scene a full-scale fight breaks out and a 6ft tall boy is seen wielding a rubber truncheon, as the terrified teacher calls for help. In another, pupils throw books, pens and balls of paper across the room for a full 15 minutes as the teacher protests, before they declare that they "don't give a poo". In yet more disturbing scenes, a boy in a computer class is filmed accessing hard-core porn sites and then protesting his innocence, saying "I just typed in '[filtered word]', miss".
