    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.


    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.
