Welcome to the 36 Grays Lane guestbook.

Please feel free to express your feelings below, but try to keep it polite!

It seems that the guestbook software is throwing a few glitches. We've had a few reports of random "permanent bannings" and posts disappearing. Please accept our apologies if either of these happen to you and, if you want to enter a message but it won't allow you, feel free to email your message and the name / location you'd like put to the email on the home-page

We've found that the vast majority of Ashtead residents are overwhelmingly supportive of SSAFA, Headley Court, the Armed Forces and our campaign. The 90 or so objectors, and their attitudes, do not represent most Ashtead residents from everything we've seen. Please, in thanks to all those people, bear that in mind when posting!

Thank you to everyone who's helped achieve this wonderful result. We've known from the outset that the concerns raised were misplaced. SSAFA and the families concerned will now have the chance to prove that. We know they'll be more than equal to the task.

Oh, and thanks for all the fish

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		Don't be too hard on all the objectors. They were probably just carried along by a hard core of one or two selfish individuals. From what I've read, most of the residents seem decent and supportive so don't condemn everyone in the village for the malign influence a minority would appear to have.

It is also a disgrace that SSAFA are having to spend the money on such an amenity - shame on successive Governments who have continually cut budgets and failed to support the Armed Forces.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		I work in Wootton Bassett and almost weekly see a convoy of 4+ Union Jack draped coffins travel through the High Street, as our dead service men are returned to their families,this breaks my heart, but what upsets me even more is to hear that people can be so selfish, and look no further than their petty lives. This sort of accomodation has been provided for families who have children suffering from cancer etc, and is a great idea. My husband was in the armed forces for 27 years and my son is now a soldier, I hope we never need this accomodation, but it would be a comfort to know that it is there.
Lets hope that the welfare of our service men and their families are put first for once. Good Luck

These wounded soldiers have been dumped upon by our glorious goverment after being seriously injured in the fight against terrorism.
This Bunch of 'Nimbys' in Grays Lane should be proud to have the wounded Squaddies in their Midst, I would be !!!!!
These Soldiers have been very seriously injured and all these people can worry about is their Property Values!!!!
Words fail Me, I suppose these morons would rather these severly soldiers Injured were shut into a camp somewhere so that they dont have to look at them on a daily basis.
It's thanks to these Peoples sacrifices over the years and over Various conflicts that they are able to protest about this.
People Like the residents of Grays lane make me sick !!!!!

With out the sacrifice and bravery shown by OUR armed forces these politicos and hangers on would be out of their comfy earner.

 I am familiar with the Fisher House, here in America, and the same needs that the families of our wounded troops have, also exist in the U.K. for the same reasons. Pain and suffering and financial distress is universal, no one nation has a monopoly on it. The task of a patriot is never easy, especially in time of war, and it is imperative that these wounded heroes and their brave families get assistance and respect from their respective countrymen.
If you must, hate the war, not the warrior.
