Hello Bob, I wasn't familiar with Staines till I met my other half who's also from Egham, now I know about the Magna Carta and all kinds of interesting stuff, like how Bill Bryson's mother-in-law lives there...I think

Yup, Staines is great, nothing beats watching the locals hanging out at McD's
Though the new cinema is really cool, shame the only people that work there are on par with wally world....

Saw Ali G doing the rounds a few times which was cool, espcially the old peoples home gags, that was the local home in Egham


Lots of random history, though it's a tad close to Slough....another great city *l*

Spekaing of Staines, if you get the chance, should check out the RAF Memorial in egham, fantastic views over the river thames

Lived in Staines & Egham when I was at Uni there, many moons ago. Ahhhh what memories! Say hello to Staines for me. We used to go to the pub by the river, can't remember its name now, except when it was flooded of course!
