I was interested by the description in the Independent about why one family didnt want to come on holiday to the Algarve

I wonder where the surrey stockbroker belt equivalent is in the Algarve??

Well I lived in Surrey stockbroker belt and also in Carvoeiro.......and Surrey with sunshine it ain't.......
Brighton rock with sunshine it might be...

But it still has it's own character....

Thank God it isn't Surrey with sunshine

We moved here to get away from Surrey with sun,rain,snow or anything else come to that.

Blue, maybe you want to change your profile (location). I always thought Guildford was in Surrey

Mind you, as much as I envy your relocation, I still prefer Surrey over Carvoeiro in July and August. The reverse is true in Jan, Feb, Mar, April, May, June, Sept, Oct, Nov and also in December

Very odd, I hadn't noticed it still said Guildford I believed I had changed my profile a little while ago.

No, wouldn't want to be in G'ford anytime of year now - full of 'chavs' & footballers wives.

Surrey is cool. I love it. I did most of my growing up and schooling there. It is a beautiful county. Leith Hill, the North Downs, Boxhill...I did all my running training around there...stunning views. I also did my A-levels at Guildford and thought it was ok too. I remember the deer, which I used to see in the woods and the bluebells...such a vivid blue...

perhaps we could twin guildford with lagoa.?

Perhaps better twin Lagoa with Addlestone so that Weybridge can twin with Carvoeiro?

Tee hee, Graham. All very subtle that

I was kind of thinking back to Guildford and twinning that with Silves. They are both historical cities and seem to be notorious for each being a domicile for Bruxinha.
