The Goat Boy of Surbiton
Award-winning comedian Harriet Braine steps up to the Loremen plate and tries to convince us that Surbiton is an interesting place, actually.
We meet modern folk legends in the form of a goat-headed cheesemaker, a dead giant and the world’s oldest paper boy. However, we do end up talking about the train station a lot. Such is the overwhelming blandness of Surbiton: “The city suburb that always sleeps”.
