    I know nothing about it, but I think of it as the functional equivalent of Scranton, Pennsylvania: a rust-belt town with a history of dirty heavy industry, declining population, and declining economic prospects. But that's just because when they translated The Office from the UK to the US, they replaced Slough with Scranton.
    I don't think it's known for heavy industry. The only thing I remember being in Slough was the old Mars factory. It used to be on all the Mars bars, Marathons (before it became Snickers), Milky Ways etc. :tongue:

    I always thought Century 21 was based in Iver, Bucks. Coincidentally, their old publishing works became the home of the International ABBA Magazine :noway: :happy:

    Not a very nice way to portray Scranton, Pa. It's really not as horrible as you make it sound. The city and surrounding area have a lot to offer and home for many.

    No doubt. I've never been there and I'm talking only about stereotype, not reality.
