    Do they still have the Guildford Cruise on Friday nights?

    I have a chum who lives in Epsom close to the Downs. I must admit I like Surrey.

    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P

    Is it home time yet? bump

    dont know if the cruise still happens horace, too out of things by far :o havent been for years, since friend split up with her b/f who had a very nice v/x. OMG the accelaration on that is awesome :D

    Yes, Numpty that counts :rolleyes:

    Clio - it's a place of contrasts; like all places there are good & not so good areas although I would say that overall it's pretty affluent ( apart from my house of course :rolleyes: ) & I've lived here for 20 years & there's never been any doubt that this particular borough will be anything but conservative :rolleyes: .

    Interesting but useless fact : Surrey has more trees than any other county. We're also in the midst of a huge housing crisis & key workers have to travel from miles away as no one average can afford to buy here :mad: . In my opinion this is due to the great council house sell off whereby chuppies with loadsamoney bought their grans, aunties & nextdoor neighbours council place for a pittance , did them up & either sold them on or now rent them back to the council to house all the people who are on the waiting list for council houses that there arent enough of any more :rolleyes: . Everyone with a large garden has sold it to a greedy developer who has crammed at least 5 'executive' houses on to it & 'social housing' is just a phrase used to get planning permission passed. We also have a corrupt police force, overccrowded schools & the most nauseating mothers mafia imaginable who find it necessary to drive their sprogs half a mile to the nearest school in a huge 4 x 4 as it's unsafe to walk, due to the number of huge 4 x 4s cluttering up the road & pavements :rolleyes:

    Hmmm, you shouldnt have got me started :o
