    The best thing about Reading is Junction 11 from the Basingstoke Road onto the M4, cause if you're going onto the M4, you're leaving Reading.

    I remember an early draft of a poem by Betjeman...

    Come friendly bombs and fall on Reading
    It is not fit for human breeding...
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

        I like Reading too, though in the 6 years between jobs there the number of people working there has skyrocketed. Sweeney Todd's do great pies and you can take them away for half the eat in price Sweeney and Todd | Sweeney Todd Restaurant | Reading

        Knew a few people who got taken over by them and our Service Delivery Manager is just about to start there. Best try to avoid the festival if you can 26 August

          I never watched The Office, can't stand Ricky Gervais.

              I went to the Slough Trading Estate and was extremely disappointed as it was one of the better trading estates I've been to.

                  Indeed, I'm always amazed at what constitutes most people's definition of a sh1thole.

                  I can only assume they're not very well travelled.

                  I remember going to Gateshead once - an absolute depressing hellhole dominated by a derict 1960s monstrosity of a multistorey carpark.

                  I also seem to remember there was some kind of supermarket there that specialised in out of date food. What the legal implications of that are I do not know....
