I knew a place there.Originally posted by WTFH View Post
The wife™ used to live in Guildford. Great fish shop in Burpham and London Camera Exchange in the town centre, but apart from that we don't miss the place.
A little place that used to serve the most wonderful warm nuts by the quarter of a pound from a machine that used to sit behind the shop's counter.
Yes, we'd always pop in for a bag of Old Mother Maisie's cracker nuts whenever we were passing Burpham.
Sadly it is no longer, as I doubt is Old Mother Maisie.

I used to visit the park next to the lido in 1966 to sail my boat in the pond. And I used to take the train to the station then walk to the newly opened town centre swimming pool in 1970(sadly closed now).Originally posted by WTFH View Post

I visited in 1999 to meet up with primary school chums I found as part of Friends Reunited. Guildford was by then a tip.
Newlands corner is okay though....

Have you visited Guildford since sas moved there?Originally posted by vetran View PostSorry I have lived in Guildford & on the outskirts of Slough honestly they aren't even similar.
Slough is a bit of a pit but hardly the worst.
Guildford is far better.

I used to know a landlord in Swindon - I think his place was the Sally Pussey

Being evicted sounds like the best way out for tenants who have signed for 6+ months to a terrible landlord to be honest.
Clearly the deposit was held under the DPS

Indeed it has and I have extensively explored that stretch of line.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostOddly I nearly mentioned Slough. My sister works in Slough - lives in the Chalfonts. The employees are recommended to travel off site in pairs if on foot!
I like Luton. Plus suity lives there. High Wycombe has an interesting old railway line that used to run under the M40 viaduct.
Coventry is up north. All of which is infinitely worse than Swindon. Especially North Wales. Mrs BP and I cannot wait to move out. To Bexhill-on-sea.
