    many people play polo in Brentwood
    Once upon a time perhaps.

    Brentwood was very des res and a stockbroker belt in and of itself.

    There's still a number of homes there for the high flyers, though most are now middle aged and retired doctors and the such.

    I remember a time when Brentwood, like Billericay, was the home of well-to-do folks, and on a Saturday you would see Mrs. Marple look-a-likes in their finest tweeds or barbour doing shopping at the local delis.

    Now both are Chavsville.

    Even my old stomping ground, Stock and Ramsden Heath have suffered from the Basildon overspill.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      I wear freebie t-shirts from clients, conferences, etc. all the time - it saves using my decent shirts for work

        They know your contractor scum anyway as your watch is probably worth more than most of thier cars you don't need a polo shirt to identify you...
        Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.
