@@DAVIDHAYNES-b3x I grew up on the "estate" at Tadworth and went to DeBurgh Secondary School till 1964, 3 years later our family moved to California (I was 18). The Pond you fished in was probably Burgh Heath, me too. Worked at Ronson’s as an Apprentice Toolmaker before leaving for San Diego. We all had enjoyable lives, I’m happy to say.
