    Slough is mainly full of industrial areas though, and I think the excellent links out from Slough mean it just isn't as bad as up North ;)

    I seem to live in the 20th best place to live. Whee! :D

    That's because the good thing about stereotypes is that they are usually true.

    There's some really nice people here, but yeah the majority of the area is full of swell-heads and idiots. This place has a problem of being an underachieving town.
    People walk around acting like gangsters, Thinking they;re above the law and authority.

    The place suffers because of the idiots.

    The sooner I can get out of the town the better, but i'll always be proud of being a smoggie.

    Saw the thing on TV tonight, apparently Edinburgh is the best place to live in the UK in 2007.
    Only place in Scotland to even get a mention, good or bad.

    Makes me proud to be Scottish.
    Shame none of our sports teams do... :D

    Grange town is still classed as boro unfortuanetly.

    So are the likes of palister park
    Grove hill
    Whinney banks.
    Stay away from them if you value your trainers/watch/car/money

    The whole poll is flawed when the nicest place to live in the country clearly isn't in any town or city...

    boro must be pretty bad to be worse than coventry tho!
