Unpleasant
I find the article somewhat POV in presenting the town as unpleasant. It's really no worse that many other towns. -- Daran 13:50, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- I agree. It needs to be NPOVed. It's the best town in the world! anon (who'd want to admit to thinking that about Slough)
Mars factory
I reverted the claim that the Slough Mars factory was the original (opened by Forest Mars in the 1930s) - there was an earlier one opened by Frank Mars (Forest's father) in N. Oak Park Avenue, Chicago in 1929. Ian Cairns 13:46, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
ROBERT WATSON WATT
Robert_Watson-Watt lived in the town, as the inventor of Radar may deserver a mention here.
Citroën
The French car manufacturer Citroën had an important factory in Slough for many years, building Tractions Avant and the ID (DS) models. I don't have any more details, but Citroën lovers remember Slough for the UK spec cars that were produced there, so it would be worth a mention if anyone has more info.
Criticism of Slough
In a letter to The Times published on Aug 31, 2006, a Matthew Dick writes 'Lest we forget, Betjeman retracted his less than favourable critique of [Slough] fairly shortly after making it.'
Can anyone properly source this and work it into the article?
Semi-protected edit request on 20 January 2025: Adding bordering county
Slough also has a very short border with Spelthorne borough in Surrey therefore this should be added alongside Greater London and Buckinghamshire in the opening paragraph. InquisitiveOne2 (talk) 01:55, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
