    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.

    But my mum said it was

    And she said I was special.
    I overheard her saying to my teacher "No he's not, He's just special"
