Slough
Slough: I always think of the "Come friendly bombs..." Betjeman quote.
Speaking of bombs (what a lead-in), I remember my gran saying that the only bomb you had to worry about, during the Blitz, was the one with your name on it. This terrified her neighbours, Mr & Mrs Doodlebug.
And now a true tale:
During the blazing hot summer of 1976, I remember my gran saying that the weather in England had never been the same since they dropped the bombs on Japan at the end of the War!

Just like Slough then, but without the floods.Originally posted by richard-afEveryone has already forgotten about poor Hull. I think we need to all reflect on what Hull went through recently:
Abandoned cars, sofas and cookers strewn across people's front lawns, the ever-growing threat of looting... and then the floods hit.
