Key mental health unit to close

[Bar Wench]

There used to be one round the back of Epsom years ago too. An escaped loon ended up in my Mum's garden when she was little.

I'll have to tell my Mum that one!

[Snoopy]

It would explain a lot.

I used to live literally round the corner from the mental place! 

I used to live near there as well, a bit further north towards Sutton, by Ventor Road.
Always remember the strange hospitals/institutions over the other side of Banstead Downs as well.

They were known generally as "Banstead Loony Bin". I was it very often - my mum used to work there in the admissions department.

Most of the patients were of the "pleasantly confused" variety with only a handful ever of the more violent type.

Really? That must have been fun.

At the time, we had a pet dog - a Beagle. He only had one 'nad. Careful, Snoops, I'm sure the same could be arranged for you (insert evil smiley)

You'll have to get Mrs S#1 to give them back first.

He probably digs her up every year on their anniversary.

No wonder the patio is so uneven.

She went off and married a farmer!
