B2003 Crap, there is farmland on both London Road and Oxhey Lane. There's something called google maps - try using it. If you do you'll see that as I said , aprt from a few fields watford is contiguous with central london by way of south oxhey , hatch end and harrow. B2003 |

Aug 2012, Graeme Wall remarked: England and France also share a border. Can't see both sides building right up to the edge of it though. Didn't someone build a rail tunnel up to the border, from both sides? -- Roland Perry |

2012, News remarked: As I wrote, then only 2.5 % of the UK is under masonry. So it's 2.5% under a house or concrete, and 5% in people's gardens? Does it matter! Yes, if you can't answer the question it looks rather like you are making the numbers up. See the link on my other post. That would be a more practical suggestion if you didn't post quite so many messages :( -- Roland Perry |

Maybe. There is a campaign in Epsom to get Epsom Station included in Zone 6 - as Epsom Downs and Tattenham Corner already are - and amongst the older generation there is a certain envy of the benefits of Freedom Passes. If inclusion in London were the solution, I think there would be significant support. It would of course increase the Con/Lab ratio in London, which might displease those of the Boris-free party. Is the Borough of Epsom and Ewell the only non-London council area wholly within the M25? Hard to find a map that would show that. Peter -- || Peter CS ~ Epsom ~ UK | pjcs02 [at] gmail.com | |
