Are they really "Swindoners"? See http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/14152949.Cosmopolitan_publishes_20_things_you_should_know_before_dating_a_girl_from_Swindon/ for those into that kind of thing.

I love that there are now clickbait articles tracking the publishing of other clickbait articles.

And I've always used Swindonian...

Of course, it's Swindonian.  Nevertheless a reasonably observed piece, I liked the Preemark observation...is that really true?

Speaking of journalists, I see that the Adver fella is a goner.  Question now is......can they get someone even worse, or just not bother?

Swindonians.

...and it's Pree-mark nor Pry-mark. It's not Pry-ncess or Pry-mrose.

Although Pry-marily messes that up.

Swindonians among Swindonians. Mongs, retards, inbreds, sheepshaggers to the rest of the world.

I met a guy the other night in London who referred to himself as one of the first Swindians (he's Indian and his dad opened Eldene Health Centre) but I refer to myself as a 'Swindoo' (not to be confused with Swindu, which of course would make me a Hindu from Swindon.

Of course there are others but my favourite is 'Cunt' and reserved for anyone born and raised in Swindon who goes on to support any other football team
