Capita, Reading

Maidenhead and Dudley, two of my "choice" places...

Maidenhead sounds a lovely place. Don't they have a regatta there?

Dudley I've been to; did some work for Dudley Borough Council, AKA the teat that feeds the multitudinous, obese descendants of cannon fodder that can be seen lumbering around the town on mobility scooters in search of their next free meal ticket.


To be fair, you can get a good pork and apple roll in all the local butchers every lunch time though. Must be some local tradition.

Maidenhead is pretty though some of the people are knobs.

Dudley isn't but the people are OK.

Spent 3.5 months in Reading recently.

It is ok. For a set period of time.

It is small enough you can walk
Nice Thames walks
Nice canal walks
<modsnip>
No real ghetto areas - everywhere is OK for living
Close to London for drinks out
45 min away from Heathrow
75 min away from Gatwick
Some nice pubs

Cons:
Expensive rents, but much cheaper than London

If you got a good contract for 3-6-9 month it is OK.

I might be looking for my next gig in Reading now!
