I lived in the YMCA in Surbiton for a year (cheapest and best digs in town), how strange. I also lived in Norbiton. I was at college in Kingston at the time.

I lived in Norbiton too.

Right by the Park.

Now live a long way down the portsmouth line but my commute has only been extended by 15 minutes.

Damn slow commuter trains....

oh god I stayed at the YMCA for the first month of being down there it's the worsed place I've ever had the displeasure of staying and it's certainly not the cheapest place anymore... you can get a really lovely b&b in a nice quiet area of town for the same price

how long ago was it that you were staying there?!

do you know something... you're probably right!

Back to the train signs for a moment - the directors of this rail company are supposed to be running a business. They've had eight years to spend a meagre £750,000 to comply with regulations. Now they might lose more than that amount because those trains cannot run. To me, that is bad decision-making.

I'm with TonyE on this one - if you let it go at 3mm this week, it will be 10mm next.

That's quite apart from whether the regulations are worthy or not. For what it costs, I cannot believe some of the comments from you lot in here about pandering to the lowest denominator regarding aids for disabled people. Try being blind.

The YMCA was brand new when I stayed there. It was good and cheap. We felt individual rooms with ensuite was superior to b&b with shared facilities. I was down there in the early 80s, a bit before your time I expect.

I used to go to the Gym there

Did you come across the Director, a guy called James. He got banged up for stealing from the place 10s' of £K

nah has all changed now ... there were reports of theft and also of people getting beaten up believe it or not. Not a nice place at all. Plus it was REALLY noisey all night, not ideal when you have to get to work the next day.

I was only born in '78 so yeh probably just a bit before my time
