Things I see on my way to the pub.

Sunday 10th November 2013

Sunday is one of my days off, the other is Wednesday. Yesterday was a special day, because it was Remembrance day and I am an ex-soldier. After observing the 2 minutes silence at 11 O’clock, I went out to venture into Reading town centre. I sometimes take the bus, but today I decided to walk.

The Oxford road in West Reading is probably the most vibrant part of town. It has been for decades the home of prostitutes, drug dealers, kebab shops and every other type of ethnic emporium you could imagine. Virtually every nationality on earth can be found living around this area, it is an interesting place where crazy strange things happen.

I intend to use this blog to document the highlights of my walks along the Oxford road. Yesterday some poor soul had to be attended with an ambulance. I am unsure as to what had happened to him — probably run over by a car.
