Sutton was a very pleasant place until they installed a "motorway" on either side of the High Street.

It's going back some years but as a kid I used to frequent the Granada cinema, the swimming pool on Throwley Road and play in Manor Park (which they carved up to create one of the "motorways".

It now looks and feels just like another Gotham City with a bizarre traffic flow that has destroyed the heart and character of the town.

This made me smile being a Banstead resident myself!! Please don't forget about Bansteads premier nightspot Cafe Italia.. Cafe by day, bar/club by Friday and Saturday night. Shuts at 1.30am then you are stranded in the High Street without a cab office or open kebab shop in sight!!

However some advice to you singletons out there Cafe Italia is quite possibly the easiest place to pull in the world. Full of wealthy middle class Cougars desperately seeking cock on a Friday night.. It's worth a visit believe me!!

And they just love a guy in uniform.

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Rose coloured specs maybe. Remember walking up the High Street -in those golden days - with buses climbing past chucking out clouds of black diesel fumes all over the pedestrians only a few feet away!
I actually lived near Streatham which seemed such a lovely exiting place in the late 1950's
Those rosey glasses again maybe!

Very true Hoof. If I ever need to go to Sutton - B&Q's, Debenhams (or even Primark's) - I time the 420 bus so that I can be there and back in the hour.
Not somewhere I would want to stay longer than really necessary.Mind you even less inclined to visit Croydon!

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

You tell me!

I just mentioned the type of punters normally seen in said establishment - I never said anything about Lidls itself.

I went to school at Banstead first school which I'm pretty sure was knocked down for the Waitrose. My mum taught there too.
