... Swindon.

I don't joke, although I'd say this story would be more fitting on April Fools Day.

I don't get this whole town twins craze. Sounds like a bit of an insult to Swindon if their twin is a theme park. Maybe it would have been better to use whatever town in Florida that Disney Land is located in?

Okay... Usually twinned towns, villages and cities are twinned with other towns, villages and cities... Not usually organisations :P It looks like the only reason was because of a poem. Walt Disney aren't going to be best pleased when they send a represenative to Swindon :P The charge of The Light Brigade was a poem, and that didn't show the direct reality of whatever war it was about :P

Saw this a couple of days ago. I can't think what it will do / help with, but hey; it's something new :)

I'm a Swindonian and trust me, we all think its hilarious. Everyone here is aware that Swindon is a tip, I cant wait until they come here, its all just grey. Apparently they are going to have a Swindon exhibition at Disneyland. Swindon is famous for a roundabout, thats about it, oh wait and teenage pregnancy. I wonder what will go in it?

Lmao, it's such a weird place for it to be twinned with. It's good for Swindon and it's funny because it's one of the worst places in the UK and known for being a ****hole, ha.
