J12 is the wonderful village of Theale where I lived until I was 18, you can just about see my house from the bypass, my dad still lives there. You might be able to see the room I lost my virginity in. If you drive through the village you'll drive down the high street where the borrowers was filmed and I met John Goodman as a child, you'll pass the paper shop that I delivered papers for and a shop on the right that used to be a bike shop that I spent a lot of time in but is now an estate agents or some shit. Carry on down the road and you'll pass the church where we used to smoke weed when in was wet and then my primary school. Further down is a road called Lambfields next to my secondary school where we used to smoke cigs at breaks. You'll then leave the village and rejoin the bath road and pass the spring inn on the left where I used to work and then see the quaint village of Midgham where my ex used to live and I spent a lot of time drinking as a 16/17 year old with friends, I think Scherrit might live here now. Then you'll come to Thatcham where I worked as a lifeguard for a while and then Newbury. How you could turn down this tour of my formative years I just don't know.
