I used to get chips from Mr Cod near Woking Station and then eat them on the bus back home after Wimbledon evening games when I were a lad.

The bakery just down the road was Mahers, which was great and had been going for about 40 years. It had a TV-makeover with Mary Portas in 2010 which didn't go well and closed quite soon after that.

I used to have my office in Durham Road, next door to to what is now the Lockdown Bakehouse. At the time I moved out in 2011, it was being converted into a kids soft-play business.

... and the 189 was a double decker with a lowered roof because there was a low bridge somewhere on its route. Did the 200 turn at the roundabout on Coombe Lane/Copse Hill or at the parade of shops beyond?

I doubt it Laurence, nor the sweet shop and the toy shop just round the corner in Coombe Lane has definitely gone!

I mostly remember the grocers in Durham Road, opposite Richmond Road where I forgot our dog once, they always gave him a biscuit from the broken biscuit box.

Slow train , was always good entertainment too with his inside knowledge:-)
I certainly miss Kentish, the grit in the pearl, even if I often disliked what he said. His summaries were excellent too.

Maybe he doesn't want to come back.
I live about 1/4 mile from Lockdown Bakehouse in Durham Road. Great place!

Agreed with you there, TF. Kentish was great at summarising for us mere mortals what was said at meetings etc. i hope his ban isn’t permanent. He sailed close to the line, and marine crossed it once or twice, but so do a few others.

Why would anyone get an electric vehicle. The heaters knock out the charge. While I was charging cab a guy turned up with rac van,he had suddenly stopped under the hook roundabout on A3. When battery went dead. Police were called and they cautioned him ,awaiting a driving aware course .

Keefy one of the blokes who owned Cunninghams found a historical piece whilst metal detecting and it ended up as treasure trove. He used to get a holiday out of it every year, when it was exhibited in various countries and he got to accompany it.

Remember Cunninghams, the days before Wickes and B and Q. Staff were able to advise in those days.

OI Cunninghams had their builders supplies yard in Durham Road back then I think. I bought my first flat in Spencer Road back in 1987 just near to where the bakehouse is now. The cafe is a very big space and very popular with the Australians and dog owners. Coffee and food are very good though.
