That seems a very strange wording of a sentence. Are you interested in philosophy by any chance?

A god-awful, hateful place. Even more concrete-y than swindon.

I lived there for just short of a year. I wouldn't recommend it.

In the words of John Betjeman...
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!
Come, bombs, and blow to smithereens Those air-conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town -- A house for ninety-seven down And once a week for half-a-crown For twenty years,
And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears,
And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell.
It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead
And talk of sports and makes of cars In various bogus Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales.
Betjeman quite liked Swindon...well railway Swindon..he even co wrote a History of Swindon to celebrate the 50th anniversary of amalgamation of Old and New Swindon into one borough in 1950.

Looking forward to your placement then Dave?  If it is a placement, find somewhere in Maidenhead, and bus it back and forward.
