The boundary change means it is a bit less Surrey and more SW London. The Guildford Plan collapsed the local tory membership. Many ran as local residents against tories largely within Guildford Borough. I’m not sure about Elmbridge which is most of the constituency.

The big local issue for Esther and Walton, and a good chunk of Guildford is the Guildford local plan and the use of Wisley Airport for housing. You can track the collapse of the local tories from then.

My parents had a maxi in, I think, this colour.

The shell company joke is worth the subscription alone!

You are Tony Abbott I claim my £5!

The author of the Machine Gunners. I remember reading it in English.

Set at a wedding just to drop another cake on them!

It arrived and looks brilliant. Congratulations!

The tory jumper. I wear one if I need to go undercover in the City.

Royal Mail are on their way today with my copy.

Only if she could play Ned Stark.
All this shows is that AI is utterly useless except for producing internet slop.

Great to hear Charles Kennedy remembered

Horsley towers on the front cover of the Surrey Pevsner.

White Down hill - Cycling uphill Whitedown is a popular climb West of Dorking and quite close to Box Hill and Leith Hill.   As you leave A25 and head north the climb begins immediately, the first 200 meters is a gentle introduction –...

Would park chess be a devolved issue?

Trouble! Unlike Nathan Gill I’m not in the pay of the Russians.

I bet number 2 had a massive extension and lifts etc so we’d have no rouble with that as well.

Quite a bit sounds like the Popish Plot!

I like the look of those flats near the New River and east coast line.

The first tory named in the article is a campaigner to legalise incest.

Pickle herring parlour!

Yes all three of my schools had the apparatus. At secondary school the two very tall frames had to be bought out, locked and braced to give everyone rope burns sliding down the climbing ropes.

Perhaps there are lots of chopped up victims to distribute across the country?

My nephew had to have two breadsticks, one in each hand, both the same length. He’d take a bite from one and start crying as they weren’t the same length. He’d stop crying as soon as both were finished and get incredibly grumpy as we’d be laughing at him, and demand more breadsticks.

Brian Durham was an excellent bloke. That paper has quite the list of famous archaeologists as authors.
