Hello from London!

Kids these days will never know our struggle to get porn.

The odd wet stuck together mag found in the roads as a kid, pointing at the daily sport and page 3 in the papers or the good old shithouse stash at work.

Hey all you Londoners and want to be Londoners.

What - if anything - is there to do in/near Dorking? Besides make fun of the name?

The centrefold of my "Health and Efficiency' in brown paper off the top shelf were always stuck together, personally I blame Maltese Mary for standing in her bedroom window silhouetted , it can only have been her, her bf worked in the newsagent and delivered papers. Early day re-cycling!

Get the train into London? . Sorry - I’ll leave it to someone more knowledgeable to answer, lovely to see you here though, x

Beautiful lady.

Lovely to see you here.

How long you got in Dork?

I can take a 4 day weekend somewhere and I can stay at a very nice hotel there for free. But if it’s really fucking lame, then I’ll skip it.

I'd get the train to Bognor Regis

Good thinking for Bognor. Day pass to Butlins otherwise often events at Goodwood

Ooo, ticket's for something at Goodwood, wear tweed.

This all seems like without a car, it’s not worth it. Correct assessment?

Personally, I reckon pick a moderately size town/city (or head to London) and pick a show/museum/park to visit on your weekend. You'll not need a car as you'll be central.

Car just means you can cover more ground to see stuff.

Either is fun.

 

[where_is_RUTH]

I know you're well traveled, what's on your to see list?

 

[Polranny]

Not sure if this will help!

Stay in posh Dorking hotel and head for London would be my choice

Kind of depends on what you like doing? I wouldn’t think there will be enough in Dorking itself to keep you busy unless you’re really into Antiques. The Surrey hills are on your doorstep with good pubs etc but tricky without a car ( can you take a bike? It’s a big cycling area) There is a vineyard called Denibes which has tours and events. It has got 2 stations and it’s an easy journey into London. Places nearby include Reigate and Guildford and further to Reading and god knows where else

It famously has a large cock on a roundabout.... who wouldn’t want to see that?

 

[Spiritedlady]

Sorry typo on the vineyard. Denbies

This large cock can't be that famous, us midlanders haven't heard of it!

 

[Spiritedlady]

For some reason Dorking Halls attracts decent stand up performers and has apparently a cinema too. With some independent films and Opera / Ballet live feeds if that’s your bag

I think it might say more about you than the cock

Well sorry but the last time I googled 'large cock down south' there was nothing about roundabouts

 

[AveryElle]

Thanks for the Dorking tips!

 

[Polranny]

Thanks for the Dorking tips!

Ignore the midlanders, they're so 'not London' and know sweet fa about Dorking or even how to dork

 

[AlliaPotestas]

Enjoy - if you make it you might bump into some of us, I would be willing to do a day trip for a giant cock roundabout...

I wasn't dissing you, AP. Is Worcs really Midlands.? Anyroads, he started it! I like the Midlands, I lived in Leicester for a year! No battles with me. Apoks

For the record I’m from the East Midlands originally ...... but now live a few miles away from Dorking.... as the cock flies.
