heres a bit more:
"Everyday Is Like Sunday" a song by the singer songwriter Morrissey contains the line in "the seaside town that they forgot to bomb" which was inspired by the line "Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough" from Betjeman's poem "Slough" from "Continual Dew". [8] Morrissey chose one of Betjeman's poems, "A Child III" for his NME complimation CD "songs to save your life"
The comedy series The Office, set in Betjeman's dreaded Slough, features manager David Brent (Ricky Gervais) reading a few lines from the eponymous poem, before deriding Betjeman as "over-rated". (The real irony lies of course in the succeeding lines which Brent does not utter, vividly condemning the archetypally boring, sexist office manager).
the american office is set in scranton.
we used the word slew (slue) for several.
we used the word slewn for casually tossed.
