Swindon on the ropes

[AlfredJPruffock]

To some, Swindon is a nowhere town, a commercial wilderness with no character, but it has kept Mark Horsington, 46, in work for the past 26 years.

Hes a Real Swindon Man
Sitting in his Swindon Home
Making All his Nowhere Plans
For Nobody

Swindon Man
Please listen
You dont know - What your missing
Swindon Man
Basingstoke - is at your Command

[Coalman]

Luckily I only work on the outskirts of Swindon and can manage to avoid visiting Swindon proper. It is a real dump, always has been and will only get worse.

House prices to fall dramatically in the next year here - who will that affect?

Swindon will rise again.

History will write about Atlantis, the Mayan Civilisation, Egypt and Swindon as the once great civilisations.

In 2000 BC, Babylonia was written as "dull, dull, dull. Who wants to live here?" by Socrates.

Will it sink beneath the sea first? We live in hope.

So long as DimPrawn lives there and keeps injecting millions into the local economy Swindon will be fine.

So those who sell pot noodles and tissues will be fine then?
