Dancing on Ice

I think they owe First Great Western some royalties for their title sequence... skates weaving pink and blue dynamic lines against a deep purple background.

Or is it subliminal advertising?! "Must... travel... to... Swindon"

And no, I don't watch it!

 

[Dai.]

Clever - I do like the purple too and now I have a sudden urge to travel to Reading..

Haha!

It'd take a lot more than some fancy colours to make me travel there.



Up your game, Swindon Tourist Board.

Subliminal advertising indeed.

Now the ad is out there, they just need to improve the shopping, and the bus station, and the road network, and the concrete sea, and the M4, and the... well, the list goes on. Come to think of it, is there any reason to visit Swindon at all, besides the GWR Steam museum and possibly the Magic Roundabout?

FGW HQ? I had to go there once for a course...didn't like it much though!

 

[Royston Vasey]

The live titles were even more similar than the logo itself! I bet their designer lives somewhere in FGW land and commutes into Paddington, and they're racking their brains as to where they got their great ideas from...

What's the betting the next series of X Factor sees a revised logo:

It's twinned with Disneyland...

 

[Ivo]

Well given that Swindon is a bit of a Mickey Mouse town...

Haha!

Why would you want to travel to Reading? Who would ever want to travel to Reading

Well, I do have a friend who lives in Reading - moved up there recently that's a good reason to go..

 

[MCR247]

I've only been to Reading once, and I thought it was alright, good buses as well

 

[Mojo]

Yes, Reading is a lovely place. I wouldn't mind moving there.

 

[Ivo]

Also in favour of Reading. The best destination on the GWML between Bath and London (exclusive). Reading's bus service is among the best in the country, if not admittedly to the same degree as Oxford or Brighton. And as shopping centres go, I quite like The Oracle.

 

[Greenback]

I enjoyed living in Reading. As has been said, good buses, and add to that some lovely real ale pubs!
