Maidenhead: Not fit for a Royal wedding!

Living in Taplow and Maidenhead, Berkshire

My birth place was Taplow but grew up here in the 70s and 80s. Famed for its picturesque river Thames views and mansions with homes to the Berkshire dwelling celebs of yesteryear and the filming at the town hall of the opening titles of ’Carry On Doctor’ after recently visiting briefly, this place has gone […]

Reading – what was a fairly nice university town is now a hell hole

Living in Reading, Berkshire

Reading is full of pubs for people who want to drink till they puke, and believe me you will find plenty of people like that. So much so, that they now have a special bus just to cope with the “revellers” in the hope of stopping them from ending up in the A&E but if […]

Bracknell, If Berkshire needed an enema this is where they’d stick the tube

Living in Bracknell, Berkshire

Bracknell, where do I start? In Priestwood and Bullbrook they took the worst tenants from the three surrounding counties and dumped them on these two estates. In short you don’t need to watch TV crime drama’s as anyone who isn’t a **** will tell you, just look outside your window. Fight, shoplifting, drug dealing cars […]

Maidenhead – What an absolute dump

Living in Maidenhead, Berkshire

Maidenhead’s train station sign should say “Abandon all hope here”. The place has been shafted by its Tory council for years, and now is a ghost town of 99p shops, coffee outlets and sod all else. It’s meant to be part of the “Royal borough” down to it being linked to Windsor, but all this […]

CROWTHORNE- The advent of Lidl and the outsourced *****.

I have lived in Crowthorne for over 5 years and despite the hospital, 99% of Crowthorne is actually quite beautiful and serene. However, the changes i have seen are horrendous and sometimes i feel i would be safer within the hospital walls than out on Napier Road and Crowthorne high street. I have the misfortune […]

Slough: The Toilet of Berkshire

Living in Slough, Berkshire

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 […]

Maidenhead is really the poor relative of Slough

Living in Maidenhead, Berkshire

You would think with the Council Tax we pay to protect the Queen up the road at Windsor we would be posh and **** free. Oh, heaven forbid no. I unfortunately got thrown by circumstance to a six month sentence on the downside of Maidenhead. The wrong side of the tracks literally. Maidenhead has some […]
