Not "teresa" - Theresa! Can't you read? Oh yeah, sorry about that fin, I keep forgetting you're a Scotchman.
Two miles from Tempsford airfield,(disused).Most of our wartime secret agents were flown from here to the Occupied territories. We are pretty close to the Airship sheds at Cardington from my village,where the airship R100 was built .The author Neville Shute was part of the design team.I visited the sheds as an ATC cadet in the late Sixties,and at that time it was,(inside the sheds),the only place in our latitude that had a permafrost,as the heat from the sun never reached the floor of the sheds. Just up the road is Twinwoods airfield:Glenn Miller took off from there on his last flight. We're pretty big on aviation round here....
I live in Chertsey, home of Saxon kings and just down the road from the oldest purpose-built motor racing circuit in the world, Brooklands. Chertsey is now more famous for having more than it's fair share of pikeys. Chertsey is mentioned in Shakespeare's Richard III as the burial place of Henry VI, and in Dickens' Oliver Twist the town is where Twist is forced by Bill Sykes to take part in an attempted burglary. Chertsey is the birthplace of The Darkness frontman, Justin Hawkins, shit comedian Rufus Hound, and Page 3 bint Charmaine Sinclaire. It is also the birthplace of H E Sir Seretse Khama Ian Khama who, since 2008, has been the president of Botswana. Other notable residents have been Who drummer Keith Moon, Vivian Stanshall of Bonzo Dog Doo Dah fame (who lived on a boat), Bobby Whitlock of Derek and the Dominos, and...Chesney Hawkes. Chertsey was sacked by the Danes in the 9th century, and the local pikeys have been trying to re-enact it ever since
Near to Hampton Court Palace owned by HM the Queenie, 5 miles Epsom derby, and start I Pioneer Run. A few miles from where the Good Life was allegedly filmed in Surbiton and also what was once a Zoo but is now a World Of advemtures, encased in a perfectly round Road called the M25, was recently working in @Finn territory and living near to Luss and the awesome A82

But, me and the misses are thinking of a possible move across to Holmfirth. Then we would live next to the famous eltel!
I am also not too far from the scammonden bridge, On opening, the bridge was the longest single-span non-suspension bridge in the world.[1] and it is the longest concrete arch bridge in the UK. Anyone see the documentary on the BBC a while back on the construction of this stretch of motorway? Very interesting.
