The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted November 24, 2015 I live quite near the city of Bath, just over the border - everyone that doesn't live there thinks it's wonderful - everyone that lives within a ten mile radius thinks it's an absolute shithole. Which it is. In fact the best thing about Wiltshire is the M4, because it can take you pretty much anywhere else that isn't Wiltshire. I went to Bath a few years ago and thought it was a lovely place. Mind you, the weather was pretty shitty. It just rained. sounds more like a shower. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,187 Posted November 24, 2015 Never been to Bath but I have been to Bristol, well Shirehampton but Bristol was for nights out on the piss. It was a massive culture shock. I had no idea that there were places other than Essex where psychopaths roamed freely and that City centres could resemble a European style outside bog. That was three weeks out of my life I never got back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,200 Posted November 25, 2015 Bath is full of hobos, skanks and thick fucking chavs. Didn't really notice any when we were there. Then again, I wasn't looking for any. Way back in 1987 went for a coupe of days holiday in Bath and I booked into a guest house with my girlfriend (now wife). The landlady would have given Roald Dahl nightmares. We ended up spending all our money and when we got back home had to reverse the charges on the phone to get picked up. We were only 17. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 15,630 Posted November 25, 2015 Now it's funny, when I was looking at the county map last night, I did think Oxfordshire, but the map I was looking at looked like the tip of Oxfordshire just missed out on Swindon, which is why I didn't mention it, however today during the course of my work I was plotting some journeys in the most cost effective way of spending Wiltshire Council's money and the map I was using showed that Oxfordshire indeed has a massive border with Wiltshire, so now I don't know who to believe anymore. Aha, I know what happened there. You were looking at the proper historic counties of England, as they were before they fiddled about with them in the 1970s. Berkshire used to have a longer border with Wiltshire because the old county border was the Thames. But they hacked off a large bit of Berkshire, and gave it to Oxfordshire. At the same time they kindly donated Slough to Berkshire, so a bit of a crap deal for Berkshire all round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a pity they didn't donate Slough to Outer Mongolia. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
