AS a regular reader of the Evening Advertiser on-line I was surprised to read the views of Swindonians as to their town. As a Swindonian of 50 years, born and bred in the town, I have now moved to Basildon.

Let me assure you that Swindon is a wonderful town, full of character both in the people and the place.

I would sincerely recommend people to count their blessings living in such a great place.
