Email makes unpleasant Reading
Thursday, February 1st, 2007Reading got a bit of a bashing recently in an email distribution list I subscribed to. The question “I’ve got a couple of guests coming to Reading this weekend and was wondering where to go?? Are there any interesting places of attraction in Reading to spend a couple of days with? (on the off chance that someone is from around here…)” prompted the following less than polite remarks from people:
- The main advantage of Reading is that it is very easy to get far, far away from it – this is your best option if you want to have a full day’s activity that doesn’t involve shopping/eating/drinking.
- They can take the train to Windsor Castle or Oxford or London for that matter. Can’t imagine anything in Reading anyone would want to see.
- This is one of the top tourist attractions of Reading
Fortunately, not all replies were bad – the individual who set the question wrote back with “surprisingly there were quite a few options in Reading itself”.
What places of attraction would you recommend to a Reading visitor?
