Just how may of us are living or working in this lovely county?
Me - guilty on both counts. ;D

Not me but visiting Surrey regions sometime next week.
Why surrey as the header - am feeling a tad thick today surrender:

I was born in Surrey ? mind you, it was called Middlesex then? whistle:

I could have put Middlesex, but couldn't see the point if it was going to be called Surrey.

I am what they deem to to be N.E. Surrey, roughly between Sutton and Croydon. It seems that a few people on here are familiar with the area.

Not doing well with posting today.

Born here, live here, work here but not bred here.

Posh place Surrey. In most parts of the county they break wind and make love with a Ph .... the exceptions are even posher bits where they do those things with two small fs.
I was born just across the border in North Hampshire and can therefore speak with complete authority on the subject.

Me. Also on both counts. It is extremely tiresome living in what is widely regarded as the best county in these isles...

It's true though. How we suffer. cloud9:

It's just like Essex but with more hills.

Box Hill? Leith Hill? John Hill, my policeman friend?
Dear Wenchy, you need to get out more...oh, and also the best Vinyard in the country.
-
Reigate, Box, Leith, Colley ring any bells?
-
Surely the North Downs (?)
-
They do now redface: I've been to them.
Vineyard? Denbies?
-
Hampton Court, Polesden Lacey etc what more could you wish for.

Yup. It's just a shame we cannot relocate Caterham to Essex - I think it would fit in there ;D

People tend to forget that Surrey goes all the way up to the Thames. Some places like Morden and Mitcham still use Surrey in their address but that habit tends to disappear as you go through Wimbledon and northwards.

Ah! But does it have a Fringe on the Top?

No indeed it does not. ::)

I would never ask a lady that. Well at least not for the first 10 minutes. whistle:

But then you don't have a wet nose, soulful eyes ands a waggy tail do you. point:

No so he won't get a newspaper across the nose either. eveilgrin:

I don't know what you think I was asking about but to clear up any misunderstandings and for the avoidance of unnecessary newspapers swiped at my nose may I offer on behalf of the defence:
Exhibit A: From the Musical Show "Oklahoma" the song "Surrey with the Fringe on the Top"
When I take you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be:
You will set behind a team of snow white horses,
In the slickest gig you ever see!
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
When we hit that road, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover,
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
I can see the stars gettin' blurry,
When we drive back home in the surrey,
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top!
I can feel the day gettin' older,
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder,
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill;
The moon is takin' a header,
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still,
A lark'll wake up in the medder.
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'!
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop.
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!

And very shortly I will be served a refreshing pint of Youngs, as opposed to yourself who will get the slops.
