Re: Staines-on-Thames
I can see some of you don't live around here!
Okay, it's not all bad around here. And it does seem to bring some chavs from around the area because of the large shopping complex & cinema. Not bad overall, however when you can't compare it with the neighbours to the west, Virginia Water, Egham, Windsor, etc... |

Re: Staines-on-Thames
When I was up in Crewe, we referred to it (among other things) as "Smoke-on-Stench". Mind you, the population of Crewe don't have much to crow about.

Re: Staines-on-Thames
Hi from Longden on Rea brook tributary, or in the case of 3 times in the last 20 years, my house IN the Rea brook tributary, (when it decided to flood my house).
