It says "A computer generated image of the proposed Millside apartments on the Jubilee River" so not on the main river but round the back in Taplow on the jubliee river, unless I'm looking at the wrong photo?

Try this page, second picture down it shows the computer image of the revamp of Skindles. Better than what is there now.

That's better, apart from the portaloos on the bank side!

Looks better, but why is that old shed still there.

All the graffiti carved on it by Tony when it was first built would be lost forever.

Philistine!!!

It's orlrite for you country folk to decry a bit of visible 'istory - when all you've got is coos fartin'. Maidenhead needs a change from it's concrete jungle....

Were you in that painting of Boulters?

No. He painted it.

Apparently Tony took one of his ex girlfriends back to Skindles one dark night last year, to relive a few 'moments of passion'

After twenty minutes round the back, against the fence just like 1964, the lady concerned was most impressed.

'Fifty years ago you wasn't as vigourous as that Tony' she purred.

'Fifty years ago, the bloody fence wasn't electrified' replied Tony.

It's true, I tell ya!
