Probably true appart from Slough being a bit of crime hotspot, car jackings etc.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.” -
Yes, I'm pretty sure that was why.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostWasn't it because he owned a Cadillac Fleetwood?Comment

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Fleetwood's a nice place. Not interesting, just nice. Especially if you like fresh fish and don't mind drizzle.Comment

One of the shopping centres in Slough has an up to date rewrite of the Betjeman poem in it, extolling the virtues of Slough and how it is fit for humans now.Originally posted by bogeyman View PostPeople are always banging on about Slough.
While it might not be the most salubrious town in England, it is certainly a lot better than many comparably-sized towns in the West Midlands, Lancs, Yorks, Essex etc.
Slough gets a bad rap. It's all that Betcheman bloke's fault.
It's not as though Harlow or Huddersfield has Windsor Great Park next door to it.Comment

I quite like the seaside in winter.
When I worked at CSC they used to have their 'Christmas do' at the winter gardens in Blackpool in January- great fun.I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
