Rezoning Sutbion Station

I am not the biggest Edward Davey fan, but can I urge you all to sign this petition. It might well come to nothing, but it doesn't hurt to try.

rubi cafe

10 years ago...

Former cocktail bar Rubicon Bar on Maple Road has recently changed hands and is now owned by the same owners of esteemed cocktail bar Purl in Marylebone. Still open in the evenings as a cocktail bar but now also open as rubi cafe during the day.

I popped in the other day for a quick coffee and I have to tell you it is the best coffee I have had for a long time!

The food looked great too! lots of freshly baked cakes and muffins and brownies and some lovely looking savouries.

Moving to Surbiton - TV, Internet, Phone Advice...appreciated

10 years ago...

I'm moving back to the UK since leaving in 1993. Moving to Corkran Rd. in Surbiton

I did a quick review of TV, internet and phone options....thinking I'd pick BT or Sky!!! My head hurt after 15 minutes of scanning endless providers, options, schemes, packages, time frames, sign up discounts etc, etc. Have I gotten old and stupid or are the options overwhelming?

Has anyone poured through the options and worked out the best packages? Massive thank you, if you have.

Priorities are fastest possible internet connection + a TV package that comes with as much football as possible!!

Southborough history

11 years ago...

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone here can help me in my research of the history of Southborough?

I would particularly like to find out about the following points:

1) what was the precise layout and extent of the Ace of Spades Roadhouse, including swimming pool, dance hall, airstrip etc?
2) did the Ace of Spades indeed "burn down"? If so, when exactly?
3) when was the building currently known as Southborough High School built? (Our architect suggests mid 1950's)

SWT getting even worse?

11 years ago...

Has anyone noticed another step down in the quality of SWT’s service lately?

The reaction time to incidents just seems to be going through the roof, and the regulators do not seem to care.

On Monday a train hit and killed a person at Wimbledon at about 8.40am. I was on that train, and I think we were stuck at Wimbledon for about 90 minutes. I have no problem with that whatsoever, it is a tragic and awful incident and the proper investigations and clear up must take place.
