Oh dear - should I be frightened Joe? ;-) Yes indeed it is Bracknell Debbie - a small sprawl consisting mainly of roundabouts, identical housing estates and electronics/computer companies about 10 miles from Windsor and about 25-30 miles from London (but it takes an hour on a good day to get there or 2 and a half hours if you're trying to get to a gig at the Royal Albert Hall on time). Did the commuting bit for several years - squashed up in a train carriage, standing room only, full of sweaty arm-pitted businessmen who won't even give up their seats to you when you're 8 months pregnant unless you (pretend to) faint. Do not want ever to do it again. How great to see this list coming alive again and to see all my old friends crawling out of the woodwork. Amazing what the odd guest appearance and bit of news (glad and sad) can do.

I was working in our Frankfurt office with a group of guys from our London office. (I was the lone Texan. ;-) Anyway, we were discussing everyone's commute to work.
