agree it's crap have defended it
Weybridge. Flash cars, going nowhere.
London prices outside London, and the High Street traffic never stops.
Weybridge is the stockbroker belt: huge houses, flash cars and Brooklands, where they used to race them. Now the cars sit in traffic all day, rush hour or not, and the bad crashes happen at 1.6 times the typical town's rate. The station's up a hill away from the High Street and the independent shops are going.
All that money and the kitchens are a state, with nearly four times the typical town's share rated 0 to 2. Nearly a quarter of premises can't get gigabit broadband, there's nowhere public to swim, and there are 20 hairdressers. Everyone looks lovely. Nobody's eating out.
