Dropped my son off in Slough this morning....

...and couldn't help noticing how many Polish shops there are! So no wonder, perhaps, that today's census results show that, while there's been a seven per cent rise in the population generally, there's been a 16 per cent rise in Slough. So Slough have been correct all along. For ages, they've been saying there were more people living in Slough than the official figures suggested - and that, of course, means they should get more government funding. Now, with the new figures, perhaps they'll get a larger slice of the financial handouts available.

Meanwhile, my son has started work experience at 02, whose headquarters is in Slough. Very, very impressive building!
