    I noticed the Luton boys were playing 'pin the tail on MF' in the corner.
    I had the ketchup bottle. I supposed you did not recognize me without my cycling stuff on...

    I knew a place there.

    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.

    Full of bl**dy two wheelers who don't look where they are going.


    But it's not far from Albury vineyard (nice wine & gin) and the Silent Pool distillers (nice gin)

    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).

    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....

    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.

    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.
    Indeed it has and I have extensively explored that stretch of line.

    Yeah. Marriage number 5. I can't believe that 5 women hate me. They are all wrong.
