Your Comments
I'm afraid this is pretty badly written nonsense - It feels like it was done on a napkin during a pub lunch. Swindon has a lot going for it, so to denigrate it to - and I'll paraphrase what you've written:
1) Swindon is older than you think
2) It has some shops - you will need money to buy things
3) Casino - It doesn't have one so you will need to drive an hour to go to the Casino but there's a thing called the Internet
4) Train Museum - fair enough
5) Go Ape - fair enough, but not open for another two months
6) The Maize Maze - Seriously! - That's closed this year
