I live close to the centre of Surbiton and I would like to use this site to thank our MP Edward Davey for arranging to have various tipped trash in the close disposed of. Its makes all the diffence to life when your surroundings are tidy. Needless to say as this
happened the day before the local elections that this sucured my votes for a certain political party.

There is currently a case running in the media about a Surbiton based teacher who allegedly had sex with her pupils.
Does anyone want to name the school ? Legal reasons prevent the school being named in the media
Does anyone know if Close Enough are still playing and how I can get in touch with them ?
Cheers

The Butcher in Berrylands has now shut down which is a shame. Is Surbiton destined to be full of charity shops ?
Surbiton station is architectually a great building but from a practical point of view it has one serious flaw:- no lift on the Glenbuck Road side.
This a proper pain in the butt for people like myself with a pram. It also logically ridiculous to have no lift on the car park side of the station. Surely it is this side of the station, which is most likely to have people with cases.
Looking at the building, it looks like there was once a lift but this was sealed when the restoration was done in 1998. Is this true ? Was there ever a lift ?
I don't know who Tidy is, but he graffittied outside my flat the little poo. If you do know who he is please report the little bugger to the police. I have caught a couple of kids grafitting outside my flats. On one occasion I called the police and they actually caught them. Don't know if they were charged but if people actually do something about grafitti rather than watch people paint walls then maybe something can be done.
Interestingly the Vicar at St Mark Church is called John Tidy, although I suspect this isn't the same person.
hiya hiya!
ok, i just recently joined. i don't live in Surbiton at the moment... and i miss it dearly. i miss Surbiton Station with it's whitewash look and it's OddBins. i miss the Hogshead... heck, i even miss the Rat and Parrot (ugly art on the walls and all!)! I miss the Sainsbury's with the grafiti on the front... i miss the auto place with the back end of a car jutting out with the liscense plate that says "hellllp" or something of that nature... i miss the indian restauraunt next to the Saucy Kettle... *sighs* so many memories... i used to live on Hook road near the Maypole... i'm in the states now... :( i think i need some cheering up. has anything changed there on the high street recently??
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 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.
