Readibus
People who hail from Reading are (pick one option or add one of your own making):
- Readingensians
- Readonians
- Readibus
- Readifolk
- Readipop
Thanks to Adam Sowan for raising my awareness of these options. Obivously I like the Readibus option because of my prediliction for buses. But how do you get to be a Readibus? So far I’ve found 2 things:
- living in close proximity to the big white house or at least being able to identify it by its address
- Working for specific companies or at specific locations (e.g. Thames Valley Park) .
What other things do you think it takes to hail from Reading? When will I have been ‘localised’ (in a conmputer jaron sense of the word)?

I used to live in Reading a long, long time ago, in a house near Reading Boys School. Very quiet there then in spite of Marianne Faithfull going to school just up the road.
Now a bus runs right past the house I used to live in. I thought you would like to know that.
