A couple of weeks ago, I set up through the google business centre a link in google maps to my new business. I got my first job from it tonight so I'm very pleased as it is free and is easy to set up. You can get into it from the google maps web page - just click on the link to put your business on google maps. Now if someone searches for 'property maintenance godalming' my details are the first on the list! It even works for me if I enter 'carpentry godalming' - you can list your business under several different categories. Maybe this will be of interest to others who are starting up and need to get known. Steve |

Steve I'm listed on google maps too, I think that it's one of the most effective ways of advertising through google. It certainly helps that you have your own website to compliment it. Good job being no.1! I'm no.2 or 3, and from my research no-one knows how you get to be no.1. I had a couple of reviews added to mine which seemed to get me up to the top 3. rgds Stu |

Low bridge there !!! The end of the Wey Navigation as you apparently found out ;D The town bridge was also the location of some of the first electric street lights in the world - installed in 1881. If you'd been able to carry on another 1/2 mile you would have come to another bit of history with a nautical flavour - the memorial to Jack Phillips, who was . . . (answers on a postcard please) ;D Steve |

Was he the radio operator on the titanic that told the other ships to shut up and stop sending stupid bloody ice warnings . ;D

I watched something on it the other day . The radio operator was busy sending passenger messages that they got paid for . The closest ship , 200 miles away i think sent an ice warning and the radio operator told them to shut up as he was busy so they switched thier radio off for the night missing the SOS . They had no reason for the radio as all the other ships where out of range to them .
