OK, apologies if I misunderstood your point. What I'm trying to say is the "all under-cover" option isn't, from my point of view, the way to go. I think you get more of a feel for a place and its identity in a proper town centre rather than a "mall" style place. Its just a general thought - I don't want to comment too much about Swindon in particular as I haven't lived there for seven years so I don't think its really my place.
I'm right though...

Fuck it! The council should sell Swindon to Disney and become DisneyWorld Swindon - we've got shit loads of land available now just waiting for a developer to draw up plans and having our own disneyworld would at least mean it's not just a mickey mouse council anymore

What type of person would choose to go to University in Swindon? There would be better, more established Unversities in more exciting towns and cities.

To be fair most of you are fully grown adults you have a choice,if the town is that bad fuck off and live somewhere else.
From the inside living here yes it may seem shit but people from the outside don't see it as bad as we do. We are not the only town that seems to have just stopped in its tracks.
I have visited enough Towns and Cities to realise this place is nowhere as bad as the actual peolpe from swindon think it is.

Agreed. Take Reading for example. Sure they have more shops and a nice town centre down there these days with a better nightlife you could probably argue. But at the end of the day the rest of the town is a complete dive. The town centre is indeed in need of a facelift but when you look at the rest of the town it's nowhere near as bad as some of the places i've been in this country. If people really want to live the high city life then why not just piss off to London? It's only 80 miles down the road. |

Swindon as a place isn't bad at all but the Town Centre is an absolute dump.
The problem IMO is that there are so many here who weren't brought up here, just moved here that there almost seems to be a lack of respect for it.

Natch. I have laboured the point so many times before and I will do it again. Here. Swindon is the average UK town in all respects. Bombed out town centre or not. There are better places to live and worst ones. Right on, DRS. As the man said, if you don't like it then fuck off. Oh and don't blame the council for all of the town centre woes. They were on the right track until our fucked up government decided to join in with the economic crisis and scare investment away. Duh. |
