Guest Simon Rowson Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 Hi Sencho, If I'm trying to sound sophisticated, then I say I'm from Windsor but, if I'm being totally honest, I'm from that nearby (godforsaken) town of Slough! Seriously, now that I'm in Japan, I find it far more convenient to say that I'm from Windsor as it's only a 5 minute drive from Slough and many Japanese have heard of Windsor (or visited it) because of the famous castle. On the other hand, NONE of them have ever heard of Slough unless, as tourists, they wandered into it by accident whilst looking for Windsor and I have no wish to remind them of an embarrassing mistake that probably ended up in them being mugged, raped or partially eaten! Best wishes, Simon Quote
