Well my parents live in 'South Chertsey' according to the EA.

I once saw a property located smack in the middle of Addlestone advertised as "West Weybridge" :rotfl:

That is mad although the houses in Weybridge are about 25% more than the houses in Addlestone.

aghast at such an obvious missed opportunity, surely that should have been "near" St Georges Hill

There might be a clue in the name of Staines-upon-Thames as to why there's flood risks in the area...

A large amount of money has been spent mitigating flooding risk since the 2014 floods, but all that can really be done is give high water levels a bit of a hint that they'd rather go elsewhere.

yes but the point is the flooding was not just the Thames, a lot of what caught out locals who watched the Thames levels was in fact pluvial

and if one accepts local gossip the defences are designed to protect the "posh" areas upstream around Maidenhead and Windsor by making us their soakaway/floodplain - which geologically speaking we are anyway, hence the road from Staines bridge to the M25 is named The Causeway

If you live in Chertsey you get a giant sausage as a defence

Gotta love a good conspiracy theory...

by making us their soakaway/floodplain

<looks pointedly at Runnymede and towards Wraysbury>

which geologically speaking we are anyway, hence the road from Staines bridge to the M25 is named The Causeway

I know. I used to work at Lotus Park.
