    Anything I should know before I go? Will my GP know which jabs I need?

          As has been said, at least it's not Slough.

          I worked in Slough once.

              As a place to work it has good roads, very little traffic, NO SPEED CAMERAS, good internet access and lots of parking, fast trains to London and to the west.

              Living there is a different matter.

                  Couldn't agree more - work at Windmill Hill as well.

                    Sure, why not? Easily commutable from Bristol or Bath if you like living in the city, or loads of picturesque villages if that's your bag.
