Editor’s Letter
what’s in a name? Remember years ago when The Post Office tried to rebrand as Consignia (cost millions, didn’t stick). Other companies have names seemingly unrelated-to-their-business brands, that do work though: IKEA or Lego for example, or local company B&Q – actually the initials of the 1969 founders Block & Quayle. When I saw a press release in my inbox telling me that a new name had been announced for Fleming Park – I’m a regular user - I was curious to see what it would be: “Places Leisure Eastleigh”. Okaaay… Actually I’m very much looking forward to the new centre which is due to open before Christmas, but I can guarantee it will be colloquially referred to as Fleming Park for the foreseeable future!
Our own company name ‘Discover Magazines’ isn’t perhaps truly reflective of what we do. It does sound a bit more adventurous than a local publication, but after six years of using the name we are very well recognised now. When I launched my very first magazine 13 years ago though it was called The Chandlers Ford Directory. It was like a very local Yellow Pages with just adverts hence the ‘directory’ moniker, but of course now we also include local news, events and other interesting articles. So I’m ending on a tip from us: if you are thinking of launching your own business the name really isn’t that important. How you are going to get customers to see your name is…and that’s where we can help! To discuss how to promote your business call Melanie Tinson on 023 8027 6396.

History
A BRIEF HISTORY OF LONDON By Catherine Rose It is said that at Vauxhall, you can spot 6,000-year-old timbers in the Thames at low tide. But it was the Roman invasion 2,000 years ago that really put our capital on the map. The Romans built their port settlement by the Thames in 43AD. No one is certain where their name, Londinium, originated but some have suggested it is derived from the Celtic word ‘lond’ meaning ‘wild’. Londinium eventually stretched from London Wall in the north to Southwark in the south. Although the 20-foot-high wall surrounding it no longer exists, it is still possible to walk along its route, noting place names that relate to the original city gates: Ludgate, New Gate, Aldersgate, Moorgate, Bishopsgate and Aldgate. When the Romans abandoned London, the AngloSaxons moved in some two hundred years later, establishing a new settlement called Lundenwic. Crowned in the church he built, Westminster Abbey, the penultimate Anglo-Saxon king Saint Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) rebuilt the old Roman London Bridge (in wood) and erected his ‘Palace of Westminster’, today’s Houses of Parliament. After Edward’s successor, Harold, was defeated by William the Conqueror, one of the first things that William built was the Tower of London - part of a network of castles in his fortification strategy. The ‘White Tower’ remains and was a Royal residence until 1500. By now, the name London was in common use. The boundary of the city was roughly the square mile that we know as the City of London, while other areas such as Westminster were separate from it. The City of London and the City of Westminster 14
were joined by road and river routes. When Westminster gained importance as a seat of rule for royalty, Church and government, these routes began to be used regularly for State processions. In 1172, work started on London Bridge to rebuild it in stone. It took 33 years to complete the impressive 19-arched structure that lasted 600 years. St Paul’s Cathedral was built in 1200. Gothic in style, it was noted for its magnificent spire until it was unfortunately struck by lightning in 1561. The Great Plague struck London in 1665 and raged for eighteen months, killing nearly a quarter of the population. This was closely followed by the Great Fire of London in 1666, which destroyed the medieval city inside the old Roman wall, including St Paul’s. The cathedral was subsequently redesigned and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren as the famous building we know today. By the 1700s there had been much new building, but there was also a growing proliferation of slums. With little help and overcrowding, the poorest turned to a life of prostitution or crime. There was no sanitation, no street lights and no police force. Gas lighting arrived in 1738 but policing didn’t appear until 1829, when Robert Peel, then Home Secretary, set up the first police force, with policemen earning the nickname ‘bobbies’ and ‘peelers’ in recognition of him. Although the Industrial Revolution resulted in excessive pollution, leaving Londoners to endure regular ‘pea soupers’ - dense bouts of smog - until the 1956 Clean Air Act, the Victorians were responsible for making London the capital we know today. They widened roads, erected wellknown monuments, constructed a water and sewage system and built what has become one of London’s most iconic forms of transport: the London Underground.

CASH FREE BUS JOURNEYS Bus journeys in Hampshire are on the rise, and Hampshire County Council continues to work with bus operators to make bus journeys better for everyone. With financial support from the County Council, bus operators in Hampshire are investing in contactless payment technology. Stagecoach has unveiled the first of their 395 buses fitted with the cash free option for passengers. Councillor Rob Humby, Executive Member for Environment and Transport at Hampshire County Council, said: “Modern ticketing technology means people can catch the bus without bothering about having the right change, or, in fact, any money on them at all. As passengers board buses more quickly, bus journey times are speedier.” “With free WiFi on board, audio/ visual next stop
Edward Hodgson, Managing Director at Stagecoach South and Cllr Rob Humby, Executive Member for Environment and Transport at Hampshire County Council
announcements, USB charging points on new buses, and now contactless payments, bus travel in Hampshire offers an up-to-date, comfortable and reliable travel.” Around 900 buses in Hampshire will be fitted with contactless payment facilities. In Hampshire 31,507,986 bus journeys were made during 2016/2017, an increase on 31,422,811 in 2015/2016, which was a 20% rise on the total number of journeys ten years before.

DISTRIBUTORS WANTED The Discover magazine is delivered by our reliable team. Although many distributors stay with us for years, teens grow up and adults grow older, meaning that we do regularly have vacancies in the area. All we need is for you to be available once every other month for a few hours (weekday or weekend), and we give you 5 days to do the delivery. We try to find a route close to home for you if we can, but if you are an adult we will pay mileage if we ask you to travel more than a mile.

wheels With the New Forest, quiet roads, South Downs National Park and the Isle of Wight on our doorstep the area is a haven for keen cyclists and ideal for family outings on two wheels instead of four. Discover takes a look at cycling in the Solent area. The Benefits of Buying Local It’s possible to spend thousands of pounds on a road or mountain bike so getting it right is important. If you are unsure what to buy then speaking to a knowledgable retailer will be worth it. Even if you know what you want, discussing it with a person equally as passionate about bikes as you are makes the purchase an enjoyable experience. However fit you are or fast you go, being fitted for the right frame is invaluable. A bike fit takes a few hours using specialist equipment. A good fit will prevent lower back pain and improve your speed as you are more aerodynamic, also correct pedal positions means greater power. Online pricing is tough to ignore as is the convenience of home delivery but many stores will price match and deliver for free. And not forgetting that dealing with faulty goods or returns can be a challenge online. A Healthy Start Like opting for the stairs instead of the lift, why not cycle instead of jumping in the car? Riding a bike is fun, healthy and a low-impact form of exercise but be sure the frame is the right geometry to avoid lower back pain. 28
To encourage frequent use, store it somewhere easy to access; avoid struggling to get it out of a cluttered garage or crammed shed! If you’d like to cycle to work ask your company about Cyclescheme worth up to £1,000 of equipment. You pay a monthly ‘salary sacrifice’ to effectively ‘hire’ the bike and kit, over a 12 month period after which you can purchase the bike when the scheme ends, saving between 25% to 39%. Electric Bikes If you like the idea of cycling but dread the thought of struggling up those hills consider an electric bike with battery power when you need it. The options range from ones with a small motor to assist the rider’s pedal-power, to the more powerful e-bikes which are closer to moped-style functionality. All, however, retain the ability to be pedalled by the rider and are therefore not classed as electric motorcycles. They use rechargeable batteries and the lighter bikes can travel up to 20 mph.
Dare to jump at your nearest BMX track! BMX racing made its debut in the 2008 Beijing games. It is now the turn of BMX Freestyle Park now confirmed as a sport in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. BMX Racing involves sprint races across off-road single-lap race tracks whereas in BMX Freestyle Park the competitors are awarded points based on stunts performed throughout the course. Will we be cheering on a local Olympian in 2020? In 2013 Knightwood Leisure Centre, in Chandlers Ford opened its ÂŁ100,000 purpose built dirt track now home of the Knightwood BMX Club. The Club welcomes riders of all ages and abilities to its training sessions every Saturday from 10am to 1pm and gate practice sessions every Thursday evening 5.30pm to 7.30pm (April until October).

INVESTMENT TO INCREASE SUPERFAST BROADBAND ACCESS Hampshire County Council (HCC) has invested £1 million in to a scheme to help more difficultto-reach communities benefit from superfast broadband. The Community Match Funding scheme applies to locations which will not be covered by the Hampshire Superfast Broadband programme, which is already on track to provide 97.4% of the county with superfast broadband access by 2019. The County Council will provide up to half of the funding to match money raised by communities, to help connect the remaining 2.6%. Leader of HCC, Councillor Roy Perry, said: “Good broadband access is fundamental - people rely on the internet every day, whether it’s for
banking and shopping, or learning and working from home. Not only is it vital for the economy of Hampshire, it is also an effective way of delivering modern and accessible public services. This money will allow more people to benefit from what is rapidly becoming an essential service.” Find out more at www.hants.gov.uk/broadband

Home Interiors
DESIGNING A DRESSING ROOM The Modernist architect Le Corbusier (a man who knew a thing or two about designing buildings) advised readers of his collected essays: “Never undress in your bedroom. It is not a clean thing to do and makes the room horribly untidy.” Clearly, this was a man who was strongly in favour of separate dressing rooms. Move on almost 100 years or so and, while most of us don’t really feel that it’s unhygienic to take our clothes off in the bedroom, many of us do yearn for the luxury of a dressing room, a dedicated place in which to store clothes in good order, leaving the bedroom as a comfortable, tranquil place uncluttered by bulky wardrobes and chests of drawers. When space allows, this could be an immensely useful, functional space, as large and luxurious as you like, containing not just clothes storage but also room for a dressing table, seating and plenty of mirrors. When space is restricted, perhaps in an apartment or older property, you may find that it is more efficient to turn a small room, part of a large landing or one end of a bathroom or the master bedroom into a dressing area packed with carefully designed storage. How big should a dressing room be? The most effective way to work it out is simply to get out your tape and measure everything that you’re planning to put in the room, then draw up plans 36
Image Above: Komplement interior wardrobe fittings, Ikea: 020 3645 0000; ikea.com/gb
and elevations of where and how they’ll fit. Most people opt for a combination of hanging space and drawers. Think of rails for full, half and three-quarter-length hanging, deep, shallow and compartmentalised drawers, and useful fittings such as tie holders, pull-out shelves, boxes, trouser hangers and laundry bins. The hard-to-reach top parts of the space are ideal for infrequently used items, and shoes can be kept in racks or on trees at the bottom. To turn your space from a walk-in wardrobe to a full-on dressing room, leave enough space for a dressing table with a good mirror and drawers for cosmetics, hair styling kit and so on. A full-length mirror is essential, and for drying hair you’ll need a plug socket nearby. There are three ways to fit out the space: find a carpenter or joiner to make you an utterly bespoke room; commission a fitted-furniture specialist and choose from one of their ranges; or use off-theshelf elements, readily available from DIY sheds or storage specialists, and make it up yourself. The latter option, though undeniably the cheapest, has the disadvantage of being less flexible and, because all the parts will be made to standard measurements, may not make the best use of your space, particularly if it is awkwardly shaped. It is important to get the lighting right in a dressing room. Wall fittings, dangling pendants and floor lamps may be in the way, so inset ceiling spotlights are often the best option. Ensure that you have enough to light the room brightly, particularly if your finishes are dark. And if you decide to screen off your clothes with doors, fit sensor-operated lights that switch on when you open the doors.
While the organisation of storage is essentially utilitarian, there is always an element of aesthetics, too. Even plain, open-fronted storage comes in a choice of finishes, while bespoke versions could incorporate exotic woods, leather or wicker. In an ideal world, you would match the style of the dressing room to that of your bedroom, picking out colours, finishes and details such as drawer handles and light switches to blend seamlessly from one room to By Katherine Sorrell the other.
Image Above: Elfa storage system, £417.20, Store: 0844 414 2885; www.aplaceforeverything.co.uk
Creating a dressing room area in a bedroom If you don’t have space for a dedicated dressing room, consider sectioning off one end of the bedroom instead. Use a curtain or screen to separate the spaces or build a false wall to act as a headboard and, on the other side, a wardrobe. Make the wall as high as the hanging space needed for your longest clothes, but stop it short of the ceiling to increase the sense of space and light in the room. As with any space-saving storage requirements, ensure that any fitted furniture makes use of the full height and width available, and look for clever fittings such as corner carousels, pull-down hangers and tilting laundry baskets.

policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Eastleigh area
and manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be

Walk at Mottisfont There is a palette of incredible colour waiting to be discovered across Hampshire landscapes. Towering canopies of golden foliage appear in beech woods, and chalk streams wind their way through expanses of russet heathland and marshes. There are a number of walks to enjoy around Mottisfont but a good one for autumn is the six mile Estate Walk. You’ll be taken through a number of different landscapes, from woodlands and historic farmland to the banks of the famous river Test chalk stream. Aside from the impressive yellows and reds of sweet chestnut and beech foliage, the woods are also home to plenty of fungi in autumn, including the pretty lilac-purple amethyst deceiver. Mottisfont Estate Walk: 6 miles, moderate, 2 – 4 hours https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/mottisfont/trails/mottisfont-estate-walk
