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.

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.
