This is the out-of-date home page for Pete Houston. It's no longer getting better with every passing day. I know that this will come as a disappointment to those of you who visit frequently and are accustomed to finding new gems here all the time. However, the hectice pace is now being kept up at the new home of all things Houston. Just follow the link at the end of this page for more topical insight.
New User Section
Not only is it important for new users to be aware of the services available on the net, they should also be told about usage conventions and the like. Bearing this in mind, it is well worth reading the netiquette document to prevent you wasting your precious bandwidth and embarrassing yourself in front of the entire population of the world..
Hot Project: to find what you're after you really need a high-quality business directory which covers not just the south west, but the rest of the UK as well.
Handy Petts Wood Related Links
So here I am in Petts Wood, a reasonably sleepy village which has been engulfed in the continually expanding suburban sprawl from London. It's pretty quiet, really with one main street running parallel to the railway line on each side. There are plenty of green areas around, so it's not just housing estates, but there really isn't much `life' about the place - you need to head for Orpington, Bromley or Beckenham for that, or better still into The Smoke.
