Hey Monkey! Long time no write.
Yes - The Office was set in Slough as a perfect example of a grey, non-industrial town.

Also, Ricky Gervias was born just down the road in Reading. Reading, hmmmm. When I went there they were having a festival of litter and 16 yo mothers. At least that was my assumption as I saw pretty much nothing else.

I lie - I've just remembered I bought a lovely bra and knicker set in an independent shop there. Then again, the woman treated me like I was Princess Diana (still alive at that point) so I figure she had few customers for her luxury lingerie.

I figure if Gervais set The Office in Slough it must be worse there.
