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...

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.

we stayed at a french hotel, macrce on theames or something if you know it. when you entered the town coming from sainsburys you came off the round about and followed the road around to the right then at the main set of lights it was there on your right. Very nice place and Im not sure what the normal cost would be but the weekend ticket for thorpe park inc accomodation ad breakfast was only £65pp bargain.

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).

Daryl.
