The Surrey Commercial Docks were a large group of docks in Rotherhithe, South East London, England, located on the south bank (the Surrey side) of the River Thames.
The docks operated in one form or another from 1696 to 1969. Most were subsequently filled in and redeveloped for residential housing, and the area is now known as Surrey Quays, although the name Surrey Docks is retained for the electoral ward.
The sparsely populated Rotherhithe peninsula was originally wet marshland alongside the river. It was unsuitable for farming, but its riverside location just downstream from the City of London made it an ideal site for docks. The area had long been associated with maritime activities: in July 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers' ship the Mayflower sailed from Rotherhithe for Southampton, to begin loading food and supplies for the voyage to New England, and a major Royal Navy dockyard was located just down the river at Deptford. In 1696, Howland Great Wet Dock (named after the family who owned the land) was dug out to form the largest dock of its time, able to accommodate 120 sailing ships.
Surrey /ˈsʌri/ is a county in the south east of England, one of the home counties bordering Greater London. Surrey also borders Kent to the east, East Sussex to the south-east, West Sussex to the south, Hampshire to the west and south-west and Berkshire to the north-west. The county town is Guildford.Surrey County Council sits extraterritorially at Kingston upon Thames, administered as part of Greater London since 1965.
The London boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth, and parts of Lewisham and Bromley were in Surrey until 1889. The boroughs of Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Sutton and Richmond upon Thames south of the River Thames were part of Surrey until 1965, when they too were absorbed into Greater London. In the same year, the county gained its first area north of the Thames, Spelthorne, from defunct Middlesex. As a result of this gain, modern Surrey also borders on the London boroughs of Hounslow and Hillingdon.
Today, administrative Surrey is divided into eleven districts: Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Guildford, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Tandridge, Waverley and Woking. Services such as roads, mineral extraction licensing, education, strategic waste and recycling infrastructure, birth marriage and death registration and social and children's services are administered by Surrey County Council.
Surrey was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia from 1966 to 1983. The area it covered was formerly part of the electoral district of Delta. It returned one member to the Legislative Assembly of B.C. from 1966 to 1975 and two members thereafter.

The riding was reconstituted into three ridings for the 1986 election: Surrey-Newton, Surrey-Guildford-Whalley and Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale. These were later reconstituted into the following ridings:
Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.
The constituency of Surrey was one of them.
When it was created in England in 1979, it consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Chertsey and Walton, Dorking, Epsom and Ewell, Esher, Guildford, Reigate, Surrey North West, and Woking.
It was split in 1984, with the eastern half merging with London South as London South and Surrey East and the rest becoming Surrey West.
The constituency was re-created in 1994, consisting of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Chertsey and Walton, Esher, Guildford, Mole Valley, North West Surrey, Reigate, and Woking.
Dove vanno
non lo so
quelle cose che hai vissuto.
In un limbo sconosciuto
nella memoria alla deriva in noi.
E quei giorni colorati
i segreti confidati
certe voglie consumate.....
Vaga un naviglio senza m?ta in te.
E nel disordine che sei
meglio non cadere mai.
Penso e ripenso
non mi raccapezzo pi? !
Niente programmi
solo sentimento ormai,
stupidi drammi
Non li ricordiamo pi?.
Solo certe piccole cose,
cose.
Stanno nella mente in attesa,
cose....
E di noi rimangono prese,
cose....
Non dimenticate pi?,.....
Tu sei sempre pensierosa
troppo spesso silenziosa.
Non c'? niente da capire
vaga un naviglio senza m?ta in te.
E del disordine che sei,
meglio non sapere mai.
Resto sospeso
Quasi senza peso,
qui.
Fra le domande che
non devo farti mai.
Senza risposte
per non stare male pi?.
Solo certe piccole cose,
cose....
Stanno nella mente in attesa
cose....
E di noi rimangono prese,
cose....,
non dimenticate pi?...
Torneranno
e torneranno ancora
nell'amore che verr?.
Senza programmi,
come grandi amici noi.
Posso informarmi:
tutto va,
come tu vuoi.
Ci crederesti ?
E' per non lasciarci pi?.
Fra le nostre piccole cose,
cose...
Stanno nella mente in attesa,
cose....
E di noi rimangono prese,
cose...
Fra le nostre piccole cose,
cose.....
Solo certe piccole cose,
cose....
E' cos? che poi vanno spese,
cose......
Non dimenticate le cose,
