Strange as it seems, I have now lived in Slough or “oh Dear Slough” as people comment when I tell them, since 1992.
I have seen it slide from a town of some limited qualities to the toilet of Berkshire within the last 5 yrs.
Having had to move from Windsor because a Bike shed would set you back 100k back in 1992, the town had some good pubs, thriving live music scene, a decent sports centre and a shopping cente.
Now we have shops that sell tat for a pound, loads of unheathy eating establishements catering for “as much as you can eat” loosers, were quanity is better than quality.
The streets are full of empty takeaway packets and empty beers cans, left by knuckle scapping hoodies who would not recognise a bin if you put a neon sign on it. Going by the low IQ levels they probably could not read or understand what bin meant anyhow. They seem to think the spelling for stairs / lifts, alleys is TOILET to them anyhow.
The heart of slough, a rejuvination project has been ongoing now for 5 years and what have we got? a bloody big TESCO’S that no normal person likes, the nickname of of it being Terminal 6.
And before you say i, why do you stay, well the reason is, that housing prices are rising so fast now, that If I can bere it out, behind my searchlight, barbwire, alarmed door, I will be able to emigrate to a better place with no mortgage.

Laurence, darling. You really need to read and edit your pieces before publication. Looks like you’ve done this a ten at night after a bottle of wine… A shopping cente? knuckle scapping hoodies? quanity? I’d enjoy your amusing rants even more if it wasn’t for all these typos.

Slough or Sloughdi-arabia is the worst place on earth! End of.
Totally agree.
The Farnham Rd is now ‘Little Warsaw’.
You’ll be lucky to hear an english speaking voice if you walk down the High St.
Chalvey should be raised to the ground along with it’s residents. Best way to do it is to have two massive bulldozers which start at either end of Chalvey and meet in the middle.
Asda ( or Chavda ) as it’s know has lots of horrible people walking round it. Lots of fat people who all seem to have mobility problems. Chavda even has it’s own MacDonalds so the fat lumps can shovel more cholesterol into their arteries!!!!!
Yes I agree that it has corners which r not so great but in the interest of my property val we have places as gerrards cross, stoke poges farnham royal all on our doorstep. best place to visit is chalvey ask royal travels for a tour for 3.50. 3 min from windsor CHALVEY
Did I pass the maths test???
I wholheartedly agree with the post. Regeneration?? More like degeneration, I have lived in sunny slough since a divorce in 2006 (no-where else could I afford within travelling distance of LHR (Heathrow airport to the unitiated). Still one has to admire the diversity of such a vibrant town (ok you can stop laughing now!!) Its a tip…….. still some kindly person manages to set fire to mine so at least its capacity has increased! regards
