Walt Disney World to be twinned with ...

[Grainger@CUFC]

... 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?

What a great achievement for Swindon, not.

The sheer pointlessness has overwhelmed me in such an amount that I'm rapidly losing conscio

Must admit I did laugh this morning watching all the Swindon folk getting excited about the 'prospects it presents'. ol:ol:ol:

Okay... Usually twinned towns, villages and cities are twinned with other towns, villages and cities... Not usually organisations 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 The charge of The Light Brigade was a poem, and that didn't show the direct reality of whatever war it was about

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.
