This week, we carry on with our exploration of Berkshire and discover more sinister things than a sinister thing on sinister day. But there's also some nice churches and castles but mostly we're not going into Bracknell.

Well done on handling the Hungerford section. Respectful, and I particularly like the pointing out of the anniversary. Thank you.

Without a gram of orange powder paint. GOLD humor right there

[GarryMcGovern]

I gotta say my man, but this has to be one of your best videos yet (and I'm pretty sure I've watched them all!). Mainly because of the way you gracefully, tactfully and judiciously dealt with the subject of 'respect': respect for the women of Greenham Common, and their peaceful, decades long protest against the use of nuclear weapons (your reference to 'orange paint' was of damn near legendary status!!), and then more humbly, your respect to those who died and were subsequently affected by the Hungerford Massacre - something I still remember vividly as a much younger lad. Fair play sir - truly exceptional work!

[JohnSmithShields]

Well done on the Hungerford section. Handled with class as you did Lockerbie.

"Sheffield Bottom" ...."Grow up" it.

Touching and respectful Hungerford section.
Nice use of silence. Bravo.

My mum was one of those women, and I'm proud to say that I was part of that human shield!

[chalkus]

Well done on the Hungerford tribute. Perfectly handled

[howdymartin]

John - I love your sense of humour, your senes of pathos - but also your respect for the things that really matter - thank you

Uffington White Horse is in Oxfordshire. It WAS in Berkshire in the days of your Michelin guide, but it trotted over the border. Or maybe they redrew the boundaries, I don't know.

[andyyouell]

Top video, as always. You handled the section on Hungerford really well.

[richardsmith-jrwd]

These videos make my Sunday.

(I just realised how sad that sounded.)

[orwellboy]

Respectfully done, mate. Here's an extra thumbs up.👍

[gilleyb]

Nostalgia moment: When I was still in single figures (ie 60 years ago) having a picnic on white horse hill was a thing our family did maybe once or twice a year.. Over the years it became so popular that first a proper car park was built, then one way traffic was added, then the car park was closed and new one made near the bottom of the hill. Yeah - not really up to walking up that these days. Still, on a sunny day there are some great views over the Vale of the White Horse (and probably beyond).

Fun Fact: Greenham Common has been used in multiple films and tv series such as Top Gear, Star Wars and Fast and Furious
