Founded in 1986 following the opening of the Slough Ice Arena, the Slough Jets have established themselves as one of the most recognizable and resilient names in British ice hockey. Over nearly four decades of competition, the club has navigated various tier changes in British ice hockey, transitioning from high-flying professional status to a focus on community talent, while consistently capturing major silverware along the way. The early years of […]

On the local front, Slough Town turn their attention away from the National League South as they host Chatham Town at Arbour Park in the FA Cup second qualifying round. Kickoff is set for 3:00 PM BST. The Rebels will be eager to build on their recent 1–0 away victory over AFC Totton and use this cup tie to construct momentum for their domestic campaign. Facing lower-league opposition provides a […]

There is something different about Friday. You can feel it before anyone has actually said the word. The alarm goes off, you get ready for work and the morning might look exactly the same as it did on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, but somehow it doesn't feel the same. Friday arrives with a little bit of extra energy attached to it. It isn't necessarily because anything particularly exciting is […]

Britain has plenty of laws, regulations and official procedures, but some of the most important rules governing everyday life have never been written down. Nobody formally teaches you them, there isn't an exam at the end of school and there certainly isn't an app telling you what to do. Somehow, though, most of us grow up knowing that there are certain things you simply don't do. You know you should […]

There is something slightly unusual about being Gen X. We grew up in a world that was largely analogue, became teenagers as technology was beginning to change everything, and entered adulthood just as the internet was starting to reshape everyday life. We remember a time before mobile phones and social media, but we also became adults in the years when computers, CDs, the web and mobile phones began moving from […]

There was a time when a five-pound note felt like proper money. Not "I'll just tap my card and see what happens" money, but money you could actually see, hold and make a plan for. A crisp £5 note in your hand meant you had options. You could go into town, buy something to eat, get a drink, pick up a magazine and still have some change left over. Or […]

There is a particular kind of childhood that many Gen Xers remember. You went outside, found your friends, invented something to do and came home when you were hungry. There was no family WhatsApp group checking where you were, no smartphone quietly tracking your location and no YouTube tutorial explaining how to fix your bike. Somehow, you just got on with it. Of course, nostalgia has a habit of polishing […]

Twenty-five years. It is a difficult number to take in. On 11 September 2001, the world changed in a matter of hours. What began as an ordinary Tuesday morning in the United States became an event watched around the world, leaving an impact that continues to be felt a quarter of a century later. Today, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the people whose lives were lost, the […]

There was a time when watching television was a much simpler affair. You didn't have hundreds of channels. You didn't have Netflix, YouTube or an endless list of programmes waiting for you. You had the television. And if somebody else was watching it, you had to negotiate. For a generation growing up in Britain during the 1970s, 80s and 90s, television wasn't just something we watched. It became part of […]
