Cheaper areas of Surrey

Ian_W

Interesting stuff this .... :rolleyes:

The local govt area in which I live is within Greater Manchester - but the correct POSTAL ADDRESS is Lancashire.

I lived and worked in Surbition for 6yrs and if memory serves me right the postal address for home and work was - Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 ....

Perhaps the OP could clarify whether they give a flying flook whether they're really in Surrey or not?

:rolleyes:Wow, I must be bored.

Wikipedia tells me that the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is a borough in south-west London, but Kingston is the seat of Surrey County Council and is part of Surrey for postal purposes.

Anyway, I think I have wasted quite enough of my life arguing about this :rolleyes:

For the love of God...............

Why would you use the address Surbiton, Surrey, when its in London?!

Even its own council refers to it as a "classic London suburb"

When you lived there were you saying you lived in Surrey while paying your council tax a London borough:rolleyes:

And its a moot point that Surrey council has its county hall in London (not in Surrey) & so is providing jobs paid for by Surrey council tax payers to Londoners.

Because that is the correct postal address - don't take my word for it, look at what the post office say is the address for their main Crown post office there.
Surbiton
2/3 Victoria Road
Surbiton
Surrey
KT6 4JU

Take off your bonnet and the bee will fly away of it's own accord!!

Its still in London.
Surbiton is in London.
The OP asked for cheaper areas of Surrey & was given a list of places in various London boroughs.

The address thing is a historical hang over, as is Surreys County hall being in London & Surreys cricket ground being in the Oval near Brixton.

I'm not sure the Surrey council tax payers are getting much value for money out of you. Do you ever do any work?
