Other Stuff in Bracknell, Berkshire*

Bracknell, Berkshire Stuff You Don't Get Anywhere Else

The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• To anyone who even thinks Bracknell might be even remotely interesting - check out the tumbleweed in town everday after 5.30pm.
• Bracknell is the home of Honeywell/Allied Signal and General Electric by the look of it. Oh yes and the home for scores of morons who lead a life of the living dead.
• To the person who says ship all the peasants to Wales. I moved to Wales to get away from all those peasants. There's a lot more to do here and my town is only half the size of Bracknell town centre (we've 6 great nightclubs and 64 pubs) So Bracknell keep your riff-raff people who origally come from and have escaped from Bracknell don't want them here.
• The council has absolutely no loyalty to it's longest serving residents by keeping them on housing lists for over 6 years (if they're lucky), while so much money is piped into the newer, more wealthy population by developing only brand new properties and theie assocaited areas/neighbourhoods..
• Can anyone on Bracknell Forest Borough Council explain what happened to the "Green Belt" land that we used to have denoting boundaries between Bracknell/Ascot/Wokingham/Binfield/Warfield/Winkfield? Sneaky or what!!!! Does anyone know what the odds are on someone in Bracknell having an accident/heart attack/road traffic accident etc. at the same time every working day @ 8:00 - 09:00 am? or is the ambulance driver with blues and two's blaring, racing down Larges Lane at the same time every morning just late for breakfast?
• The only thing to do with Bracknell is flatten it, ship all it's peasant inhabitants to Wales, demolish both Severn bridges, & erect a huge wall. Then we'd all be happy!!
• So, its been finally leeked - there was an advert that cropped up on the TV last year in which the actor was mindlessly sitting in traffic on the Bracknell By-pass, and it is about to happen, they sneaked that one in without consulting the residents. And can someone explain to me how they think the round-about at the Horse and Groom is not at this time used to its full capacity - obviously the mind-numbing nerd that researched it, did it on a Sunday morning at 07:00, instead of either 08:00 on a weekday (with the school run)or 17:00 onwards on a week day (with the school run)... as a council taxpayer I resent being lied to. And what will happen when the RAF camp goes and the new houses have been built? Grid-lock - Bracknell is Grid-locked now it will be at a flamin' standstill. Oh and to the idiot who claimed that people are not using Bracknell to travel between the M3 and M4 - cobblers!!!! Everyone that lives here knows that is exactly what happens and not as he suggested in the Bracknell News a few weeks ago, that everyone is coming here to go shopping!! What shops?
• I can highly recommend the Ladbrokes in the High Street which is one of the friendlier places in the town centre.
• The only improvements that can be implemented in Bracknell would be total nuclear annihilation. This will stop the breeding of freaks of society such as Dave B.
• It's true. If you walk around Bracknell town centre on a weekday, the amount of ficking mutant pleps walking around is unreal. Sometimes I think that half of the Bracknell residents must have a gammy leg !
• People in Bracknell DO NOT have "common as muck" accents, and we DO NOT like people from Wokingham because of their self rightous attitudes.
• The underpasses really annoy me oh and the fact that every single estate thingy looks exactly the same and that the roads dont have the word road or avenue after them, they have names like, Viking and Underwood but no Viking Close or UnderwoodDrive. Hmmmm..........Something to ponder I think.
• Come on geezer, you're 'aving a Radox! (Bath=laugh) Bracknel is full of girls aged 14 to 40 all wearing the same clothes, kinky boots, crop tops and bomber jackets. Camberley is crap and it's going the same way. Make the account honest, go to Camberley or Bracknell, they are just like that lot from Reading, MUTANTS! You can feel so normal and superior!
• Correct me if am I wrong but where is the mention of Coral Reef, a very pleasent water complex, the Bracknell Leisure Centre, and the Bracknell Rugby Club to name but a few.
  The description of Bracknell as dull is unfair. The facilities are there, you just have to use them.
• There's a wicked pet shop with big lizards, parrots, snakes and other little critters.
• Did anyone mention the Regency Snooker Club ??? Its good for... errr... snooker.
• Bracknell has nearly (!?!) three 18-hole golf courses. Blue Mountain (nr Binfield), Downshire and a 9-hole course on the way to Ascot called Lavender Park.
• Nature trails, mountain bikes, horses etc round miles and miles of the Windsor Forest.
• The Lookout Good for families
• Coral Reef (fun pool with water slides etc.)
• The Point: 10 screen UCI cinema. 20ish lane bowling alley.
• Nike centre: Skating rink including local ice-hockey team. Outdoor artificial ski-slope.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
