Idle chit chat about Surbiton

Kingston Guardian Page Three

I have just opened this week's Guardian and was surprised at a very strange advert which doesnt appear to be selling anything. I wondered what other Surbitonites thought. It just says JESUS CHRIST, SON AHMAN.

Postcard image identification

14 years ago...

Hi all. My grandad has some hand painted postcards that he's trying to identify. One is identified as Richmond on it, not sure about the others but they seem to be by the same person so maybe in the same area. Based on the backing he thinks they may predate 1902 as before then you couldn't write messages on postcards I think. The church looks quite distinctive so maybe someone will recognise it!

Huge ugly concrete construction behind Saint Marks church

14 years ago...

Somewhere else on this site there is a thread about the amount of development happening in Surbiton [ref: Filter bed flat development].

I have just taken a stroll down St. Marks Hill - Does anyone know what that huge ugly concrete construction behind Saint Marks church is about?

Surely not more 'flats' ?

Advice on Flats to rent....

14 years ago...

Hi

Apologies if this is in the wrong section but I was just wondering if anyone can help? Have been having a read on the forums and seems like there is a good little community here. So was wondering if anyone knew of a flat to rent or how to go about finding one without agencies.

New restaurant - Côte?

14 years ago...

Gumtree are looking for staff for a new restaurant - Côte.

Looking at their website, they appear to be a chain of french style bistros.
Their website is http://www.cote-restaurants.co.uk/

Does anybody know where they're going to be?
It could hardly be that tiny unit next to Pizza Express, could it?
If so, a bit of a duff choice. Not an attractive building at all.

The fine interior of L'Esperance building on the Ewell Road beats it for ambiance hands down.
Unless this new crowd are looking to take over the L'Esperance building.
Any news?

Hi,
Does anyone have any good experiences of using a local solicitor for conveyancing. Need to find someone who is on the ball and works quickly.
Any to avoid also good to know.

Ewell Road renamed Warren Drive North

14 years ago...

Has Ewell Road been suddenly renamed Warren Drive North?

According to Google Maps it has. I had a very weird driving experience when my Google Maps-driven sat nav started telling me drive along Warren Drive North, a road I've always known as "Ewell Road".

See for yourself here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=warren+drive+north&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozi...

Ewell Road itself seems to have moved to Long Ditton!

WARNING - SW Trains not running properly again tonight

14 years ago...

Sadly, there has been yet another suicide on the railway this afternoon, this time at New Malden station. The station was totally closed for a while, but has now re-opened.

For reasons best known to themselves, SWT are using this incident as a reason to delay all services by up to 90 minutes right up until the last train tonight. Probably best to find another way home if possible.

For those that have the time, it is probably worth writing a quick complaint email to SW Trains to question why their service takes so long to recover from incidents like this.
