    Revealed: Prawn Towers

    For many years the location of Prawn Towers, home of the semi-eponymous Swindon millionaire, has been shrouded in secrecy.

    Now a lexicographical analysis of postings to CUK, combined with sophisticated geolinguistic algorithms, allows the precise position of "The Blenheim Palace of Urban Wiltshire" (J Betjeman, 1936) to be revealed on Google Maps.

    Behold the Eighth Wonder of the World!

    Awesome, right next to the alphebetti spaghetti silo........
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
