Maybe, but nobody has asked "Friendly bombs" to come and land on them.

Many m

Mancunians think of the 1996 IRA bomb in those terms, although those who
were injured (there were no fatalities) may not do so.


I had just parked my car, maybe a few hundred yards away, when that went
off - heard it - got back in car - left. Obviously going to be impossible
to do anything useful after that.

Somehow all the other contenders for being like Slough miss out - each of
them has some areas which are much nicer. You have to go to Stoke Poges
(north), Maidenhead (west) or wherever to get to anywhere much better.
