I'll check my Reader's Digest book. Hmm. Apparently there is a nearby Gurkha museum? Odiham maybe sounds more interesting - "Stocks in square still claim to 'encourage virtue and discourage evildoers'. Church Bible of 1578 quaintly recounts that Adam and Eve wore breeches."

Or you could just visit London!

See, that's the thing. The general area does indeed have things to go and do/see. Indeed there's a heavy Ghurka 'presence' in the area. There's a few military museum things in Aldershot. There are lots of little villages to go poke around in. Just Fleet itself is too new for the latter, and doesn't have any real attraction to it. And I don't have my own transport to enable seeing such things.

Why, yes, I AM still planning on moving back to London as soon as practicalities allow.

It's true that Fleet doesn't have its own entry in the Reader's Digest book.

Maybe you will just have to build your own attractions or steal them from London when you're next there. :)
