What a plonker! That was doing the rounds on MSN about 3 weeks ago. Tut tut keep up with the times! Oh your from Swindon that explains it all...

[red army]

whats wrong loozer, did you fall for it?

thats a bit rich coming from someone living in a cave in the Wales . Wheres as Swindon is the fastest growing town in Europe in an area of the country so full of high-tech business that it's now being called Silicon Valley, yeh we're really behind the times here. In fact if it wasn't for towns like Swindon and Reading this country would have slipped into recession years ago. :wave:

so full of high-tech business that it's now being called Silicon Valley

How many Hi Tec companies and lets have a few names?

[red army]

enough to earn the Silicon Valley nickname Pinto. Intel have their European HQ in Swindon, Motorola, EMI, GEC Semiconductors...+ manymore further down the M4 corridor towards Reading.

Who uses it other than the people in Swindon. Ireland is the 2nd largest exporter of Software in the world next to the US despite a population of less than 4 million. To be silicon valley it would suggest lots of small entrpenurial companies setting up. Ireland also has Motorala, Sun, Microsoft, Ericsson, Compaq, to name but a few in the south, plus hundreds of smaller home based companies. Not to mention Fujitsu in the North along with Insurance firms Liberty and Allstate having their IT departments here. Last I heard Galway was the fastest growing town and Dublin the fastest growing city in Europe. Surely you mean Swindon is the fastest growing city in BRITAIN.

[red army]

Microsoft and Compaq are also based in Reading. I'm just naming the big companies/employers in the area. There are plenty of smaller ones too. The nickname isn't just something made up by people in Swindon its something used only recently by peopl who are "in the know" about this sort of thing so go and ask them what they mean by it.
Swindon is (or at least was a few years ago) one of the fastest growing Towns in Europe (200'000 population is big for a town) when the front garden development (4000 new houses) starts we'll be a contender for the fastest growing Town in Europe.

Please please please explain this one to me and try not to make me laugh too much this time.

[JoaoPinto]

Yep. 2 towns with a few hundred thousand in them are keeping countries with a combined population of 62million a float. :laugh:

South east English towns have a disgraceful amount of money pumped into them. It's got nothing to do with the people who live there.

[Woozer]

Absolutely, cities like London must be glad of these booming towns that are keeping them afloat. :laugh:

[red army]

well obviously the little waving bloke meant i wasn't being completly serious. But i think i've made my point, the Welsh Valleys and other backward places are holding us back and prosperous towns like Swindon which are very much "up with the times" are driving this country forward.

[JoaoPinto]

the Welsh Valleys and other backward places

I know for a fact there are dozens of software companies in Cardiff. And if by "Other" you mean N.Ireland we actually have a higher ratio of Computer Science graduates per head of capita than any other country in the world. The difference is we have to work hard against an oppressive government that favours one nation yet won't let go of those others it controls. There isn't a pink Pig filled with money sent to our cities and towns anytime there's a crisis.

[Woozer]

Sony and Vodafone HQs in South Wales Valley areas. Really Red you should do your homework before shouting your mouth off you've made yourself look a right tit now.

[red army]

I wasn't refering to N. Ireland Pinto and for the record if what you say is true then i think our government is well out of order.

I think you're the one that should be doing your homework Woozer.
