Hey PC, wherabouts did you live in the Bracknell area?? Good on you for escaping.

It seems a number of PA members live in the Swindon area. Gecko and Richardh too! We should arrange a prog get together in that area one day. Same sort of thing as the famous London prog curry night!

You know my home town of Stevenage, then?
    

^You need one of those lawnmowers that you push to turn the blades, gives your upper arms a good work out I can tell you.

not Lowestoft!!!!!!

NORTH Norfolk coast.........the beautiful, unspoilt part!!!!

Yeah, I have done a little research.........my house used to be the mortuary! How cool is that?
The church is lovely..........and my son is pleased to be going to the same school that Billie Piper attended...........(not sure that's an educational recommendation) ........it's a Dr Who thing!

back to RANTING......................

MY LAWN MOWER WONT START!!!!!!!

I lived by the sea in a little cottage in North Norfolk. Nearest supermarket 35 miles.........each way.........
I still have some culture shock being so near so much stuff!!!!!!!!

................back to the garden..............

Riff's Bar isn't all that far from me.  I was there for the Big Bill Morganfield gig last month.  That's nearer Wootton Bassett, the next town from Wroughton.

I've also been to Cricklade for a gig once, well, a friends bands gig and I know someone who lives there.

Which part of Norfolk?  Not that I know Norfolk, it's just I have a friend from there too.

Ah, well I'm actually in Wroughton, which is kind of linked to Purton, via the Story-Maskelyne family, who lived in Salthrop and Purton (Salthrop is a hamlet just next door to where I live).  That's your history lesson for the day Prog-Chick.

Blacksword, my aunt and uncle used to live in Bracknell, don't ask me where though!

Thats exactly the problem. A few years from now the UK will be nothing more than a huge business park with some crap housing estates and McDonalds drive thrus on the perimeters.

Wales is smaller than England, Scotland and Ireland, so more developments couyld cause problems in future, Wales is known for it scenary.
