in as far as Bray counts as Slough. Well, Maidenhead.

In as much as it's just a gigantic road lined with huge department stores and businesses. It's not actually an unpleasant place, unless you go into Chalvey and places. It's just...soulless.

it's full of utterly pretentious marketing wankers who think that owning a Porsche Cayenne and trying to eat at the Fat Duck somehow compensates for the crushing pointlessness of their vacuous existance.
Not a single one of them could fight their way out of a damp paper bag either, so I could tell them what the fuck I like.

Everyone there confuses a house being expensive with that somehow making them aristocracy. It's like Wilmslow but with pretentions. There's no actual old money anywhere round there, they just pretend there is.

and this a man who, after having a fight with his partner about having children, was told by her to "go and get a bloody dog if you want something to look after" .. so he went and bought a Ferrari to spite her. Except for it to work, he had to actually be able to come home with the Ferrari immediately, so he had to buy the only one they would let him leave the showroom with. Spending £130K on a car you don't want as a display of todder petulance basically sums up Bray.
