    The Seven Wonders of Swindon

    http://www.jasperfforde.com/swindon/7wonders.html

    I particularly enjoy seeing the Llamas roaming in Swindon on my travels to the Tower of Brunel for tea.

    What other "spectacular urban wildlife" do you get to see?

      What about the Colossus of Freshbrook?..........or the Golden Temple at Lydiard?

          The Llama's are cool. Slough is a dump, however I quite like Reading, was even considering moving there, until I heard it referred to as 'The armpit of the Universe', I preferred the moniker 'Silicon Valley UK' personally. They have free Wi-Fi on the TVP bus now BTW.

            I'm so proud to live in such a fascinating and unique town.

                    For you maybe. I was there in Bill's factory until June.
