LOL! Keith.......yeah but yours IS briefer.

I see what you mean about Hounslow only being part of London to outsiders, regional distinctions were typically only important to people living in the actual environment.
Yes, I was 'County' as Orange County is known, which does not specify what actual city you lived in or were from.

When reaching the county line to LA County, that demarcation was usually the turnaround point for county guys. ....things were a bit unhealthy past that point.....I think of Columbus' maps, end of the earth etc.

If I recall, on Hounslow, was that not in the same manner a sort of remoter, industrial area troubled by highwaymen and ner do well types? It seems like one of the notorious highwaymen of the times was known there, though perhaps later period.

Regarding the import of German workers, it was not just Greenwich, later Hounslow and other countries, France, Russia, Sweden, Netherlands that had Solingen workers.
