    I lived in Reading as a child, and come on the train most weeks. There is always something going on and somewhere to wander, Forbury garden's and the Abbey ruins on a nice day is relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of shopping .riverside is lovely too.❤

    I lived in Reading from '88 to 2008. Had pretty equal good times and bad but it really felt like MY town. Maybe because I was a teenager and in my 20's when I was there but I really felt at home in Reading. Its shit compared to other towns ive lived in (Henley on Thames, Nottingham, Marbella in Spain and currently Hong Kong) but it did feel like home. The only place I lived in that was worse than Reading was Bracknell!
    I went back to Reading in 2022 for my mums funeral and was sad to see so many closed shops and the whole place was run down. It doesnt help that England is so wet and cold though. At least I was happy to see so many East Asians there now. As a Hong Kong resident I like to see that.
    If I lived anywhere in the UK again I wouldnt mind going back to Reading.

    • @scenicrouteyt
      @scenicrouteyt  3 месяца назад +1

      I’m born and bred in Reading so I feel kind of the same way. It feels like home whenever I go back to visit.
      But yeah I can imagine places like Hong Kong are definitely nicer 😂
      Btw, they have done Bracknell up not so long ago so it’s much nicer than it used to be!

      @@scenicrouteyt blimey Bracknell looks amazing. How can it support so many new shops? My grandparents lived in Brownlow Drive since the 1940's and I lived in Crown Wood (a bit rough) even before they finished building it (1980). Even after my parents moved to Reading I went to Bracknell college (1991) so I have a lot of memories of Bracknell. Most not so good. Garth hill School wasnt so great, there was an Indian prick in the College called Satnam who I think ended up killing someone and the point pose were a pain too, especially if you went down there in a Reading shirt. But I do remember the fun of pouring washing powder into the square fountain at the bottom of the hill in the centre and eating white hot chips from a paper cone from the chippy nearby. Its weird that I remember Bracknell as a sh*t town but at the same time I miss it now lol.
      thanks for the link, it triggered alot of memories.

      @alexc6324 I know quite a few people visit there to go shopping now instead of Reading as it’s less busy and a bit nicer.

    If you like Reading then you must be living in a dump .
    Reading is nothing of what it was some years ago , slowly is becoming worse and worse, needs a complete make over , the town look the same for so many years the council does nothing but collect so much money from its people via the council Tax. Parking in Reading town is so expensive compared to other towns .
    The Oracle biggest locals aren’t in used , before they were occupied by House of Fraser and Next.
    Basically the town looks the same or even worse because there is not improvement, renovations , so is not attractive with so many places being shut down….it’s becoming tacky
