Kingstonian players and fans might wish they'd stayed in bed. They lost their top-of-the-table Ryman League clash with Dartford by 6 goals to 2, handing the league title, and with it automatic promotion to the Conference South, to their opponents.

You forgot to mention the history of the town names. Of course Kingston is King's Town, but Norbiton and Surbiton are contractions of North Town and South Town.

Aaah! The Good Life! One of my all-time favourite series as a child, and still rolled out frequently on PBS! A timeless classic that never loses it's charm.

I had never looked at Surbiton station from a distance before, only walked out of it and went off somewhere else without looking back. It really is a magnificent art deco style building, thanks for the photo.
