Ah, The Bracknell Harbinger. My first "real" project was in Bracknell, and I was pointed to that site.
Somewhere, there is something about "Thursday is date rape night in Stabbin's Nightclub!" which sums up Bracknell perfectly.Comment

Fook I have to drive home through Bracknell tonight & the M3 is closed so guessing it will all pile across at Bracknell
Unless I risk the M4/M25 congestion to Chertsey....hmmmmm what to do
On a by note are there any secret short cuts to get around Bracknell avoiding the roundabouts with the crap traffic lights on the A329 /A322How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

Best thing is to avoid any contracts in that tulipty part of the country - it really is awful around there.Originally posted by Troll View PostFook I have to drive home through Bracknell tonight & the M3 is closed so guessing it will all pile across at Bracknell

Seems sensible. No communing issues, less hassle, no piss smelling grotty overpriced tulip hole to pay for and more money to spend on better things than funding someone's cash cow. Beats me why people are willing to pay fortunes for a small room used mostly for sleep, in a bed and room used by thousands of others before you. A van is luxury by comparison.Comment

If you can't borrow the van, might be worth considering a shed made of cardboard boxes. You can also save a bit if you get your food from rummaging around the bins, you find some good stuff in Supermarket bins.Last edited by BlasterBates; 20 October 2011, 16:41.I'm alright JackComment

My Great Aunt Et moved onto a roundabout with her hubby at the age of 75. She took two deck chairs, a pack of sandwiches and a flask of tea.Originally posted by doodab View PostI once slept in the middle of a roundabout, but I was pretty wasted.
She also alerted the local newspaper, and the council soon decided that they would in fact re-house her as a priority.
Unfortunately Great Aunt Et is no longer with is, or else I'd sub her out.Comment
