As requested by Zirk, I have to complain and request... No. Demand! That the word filter be de meddled, and the spelling of W o k i n g h a m be left as such, and not be displayed as Reading. Its embarrassing.
Bully's! :'(

As ypu can see by the time, its keeping my up at night with worry and stress. :'(

Living near Reading can't help with the stress and worry though ::)

I thought the place we cant spell :) was part of Reading and the capital was Slough :)
-
Also isn't that place were people who use to live in Reading move to when they think they have made it and say Reading its so ville,and common when at dinner par-tays :)

Slough? As John Betjeman once wrote:-
"Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,"
and Reading/Reading would surely get the collateral damage from such a bombing raid...

I used to work in Woking'ham. I went to the pub one night when i first got there and everyone was dressed really really posh with giant over the top hats etc.
I thought they all must dress like that there. ;D
It was only later I realised they must have been to Ascot races. ;D

I like to believe that South Lincolnshire is more comparable to the Seychelles, Milan, and Rome, rather than sad old Reading. ::) ::) ;D ;D

Well....the football season is over for me. But you still have your bog snorkelling, cheese rolling and morris dancing competitions to look forward to. :(

Poor CG is very stressed, his football team have had very poor this season and are not far off mid-table, but worst of all they have missed out by a few points on playing in that most esteemed competition next year, that all the top teams want to be in. :o :o :-[ :-[
That's right his team have missed the play-offs by one point. So all together for CG and next season. Come on Reading. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Pmsl no sympathy from me,man up CG :D ;D

Don't know which google you use but on mine Reading and W o k i n g h a m are very different, in fact it seems to be nearer Bracknell, but as I do not know the area I bow down to local knowledge......... ;D ;D ;D

Well Reading is famous for Beer, Biscuits, Brick Making and Football. :y :y :y :y What is Woking Ham famous for, apart from being a Reading suburb? ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Beer? That's stretching it a bit. :o
The brewery Whitbread chemical plant has been demolished and replaced by empty offices and a large desk fan now, anyway.
-
Seems like a lot off fuss over nothing ::)

Same google as everyone else. Seems there are three places,
Reading

and W o k i n g h a m (for s l o w people)

Now let's be accurate about this.
Courage brewery is no more, as is the site it was previously on which was turned into a bus station and is now a shopping centre.
Biscuits are no more. Listed building that was Huntley and Palmers is now flats and the Prudential building.
Bricks...? New one on me but going by TheBoys experience that's hopeless as well.
Football...? Maybe half a point made there but its not quite what it was since Madejski sold it.
So, on balance here abouts, I'd say Not Reading is more famous than Reading is for being Reading ;D
Woking ham? Like a decent ISP, let's hope it stays anonymous. Or everyone will be on it. ::)

Simonds Brewery was founded by well known Reading resident Chris 'Gixer' Simonds in 1785. :y ;D ;D ;D

There used to be a a Nice little Beer Factory called Greenwood's Brewery in a lovely little Town called Wo_king_ham out your way, not to sure how far away that is from your home town of Reading though. ;)

I used to work in Greater Reading. I went to the pub one night when i first got there and everyone was really really posh.
I met Gixer the other day and I can report that he is very posh! :)
