Reading has been dreadful lately, two days in the last week I have tried to get a meeting but without success. Yesterday I phoned 5 girls from my punting phone and not one of them answered, all went to voicemail.....paid a visit to the known Parlours, two were closed, one said come back in an hour and the good one in Blagrave Street couldnt find anywhere to park. Today drove 20 minutes down the road and had one of the best punts for a long time in Newbury, well worth the short drive along the M4.
