This is what happens when you grow up in Reading. I know, because I grew up too. As did Mike Oldfield.

That's it, rub it in. I spent my youth dreaming of moving to Slough, but I never got the chance.

So, what's so special about Slough. Is it still in Buckinghamshire?

Quite the opposite of special. More of an aspiration.

Just kiddding, it's a dump, like Reading. Slough has been in Berkshire since 1974.

John Betjeman nailed it..

Slough

Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!

The rest of the poem here

The link suggests it is much improved "nowadays ". Obviously, there is no date on that page.

I spent a while teaching in Wokingham and Bracknell.

I hated it. The bright lights of Reading were a rare relief from those soulless bastions of keeping up with the Jones's.

Sample conversation from my time there.

MOTHER. 'I think little Johhny should be be going for his grade 3'..........
ME.............'Have you HEARD little Johhny ?'
MOTHER 'He is very bright, all his tutors say so'
ME 'And you PAY them ,,,,,right ?'

Maybe Gervais has got the right idea. Music is all about living the dream.

Jesus. What the hell is happening to my old country?

Maybe I need to move back there and see if I can help restore our old values. . .

Or is it already too late?

We tremulously await the prodigal messiah.

I've been around mentally ill all of my working life. Most of them are quite nice.
Some are brilliant. Some are fun. (1:06-1:12)

That has been me experience also Ed. I have not spent as much time with them as you but I found that staff more troubling and obstructive than the patients.

I am sure that the 'target' in this video is the character David Brent and his preconceptions and prejudices. I hope you weren't offended.
