I AM FROM HESTON- Jimmy Page a IS from HESTON

As titled.

People ask: "where are you from?" I say: "Heston," The say: "hun?"

Intresting things I feel the need to share about Heston.- for more info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heston

* Elizabeth I granted Heston to Sir Thomas Gresham, and after eating some bread made from locally grown wheat, insisted on a supply for her own personal use.
( grew up on a redevelop farm in heston = ie flats surrounded now by horses)

* Heston is perhaps most widely known as the location of Heston services on the M4 motorway and for air cargo handling facilities.

(if ur a lorry driver, you will know Heston, if u drive around heathrow you will know Heston)

* Heston is also the place of origin of the common London slang phrase; 'Sickup'.
(really never heard that before............)

* The village of Heston lies towards the north of Hounslow and has been settled since Saxon times. A charter of Henry II gives the name as Hestune, meaning “enclosed settlement," which its location in what was the Warren of Staines, between the ancient Roman road to Bath, and the Uxbridge Road to Oxford, justifies. ( ideal location to get anywhere, so chiswick is round the corner, my neighbours live in ealing borough, the building behind my flat is osterly house..... and oh i can see Wembly arch. and and and it's 20 mins by bus from Hammersmith. why is it zone 4?)
