      A lot cutting-edge genetic work is done in Swindon at the Wroughton Genetic Research Labs and sadly, some of the "work" has made it's way out of the secure areas.

        Strictly speaking, that is mainly in Park South/North, Penhill, and in the Purton/Cricklade area. You would be unlikely to find that too prevalent in, say, Abbey Meads, although you will find plenty of people there that are "up their own @rses".

            Used to work in Swindon.

            I thought Slough was a sh11thole.

            Swindon makes it look like paradise.

                Basingstoke is worse than Swindon. A truely horrible place
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
