The Hexagon is a venue in Reading.

The Octagon is a venue that's part of the University of Sheffield.

The logo of Reading Borough Council is also a hexagon, roughly depicting the shape of the town and the roads and waterways which pass through it.

There's a Hexagon (theatre) in Reading. Saw Bill Bailey perform there....

There was none of that when I was there as a student. There wasn't even a motorway (it finished at Maidenhead).

Sorry to be pedantic, but I think the Reading shopping centre is "The Oracle".

I remember this clearly because of the sign on the M4 saying "Junction 11 for The Oracle". Always hoped that some mystical guru lived in Reading who would be able to cure ailments and predict the future. Turns out it is a retail park.

You're right - I was having a brain scramble. There's an Octagon Theatre in Bolton.

Christ there are polygons all over the shop!

Octagon theatre in Yeovil.

Aren't you pleased you know that?

Pentangle was a groovy band.

The Pentagon shopping centre in Chatham was an absolute sh!thole & one of the best places in Medway to get stabbed. It's probably gone downhill since the 80s, though.

Wow. The presenter just fainted live on TV.
That’s spiced things up. Hope the presenter is OK.
It sounded like she hit the floor hard.

Good grief. In the Medway towns it would be up against some pretty strong competition.

It should be the 'Orifice'...anyway, my friend and neighbour still died there....

Sunak has now pledged to scrap VAT on energy bills if prices keep rising, in an attempt to keep up with Truss' tax giveaway bonanza.

They have over a month to go, and seem determined to get locked into an escalation war of who will give the most tax cuts and be the most horrible to refugees.

At this rate, by the end of the summer both will have policies to scrap all tax and to machine-gun refugees as they arrive on the south-coast beaches.

Their priorities does give an insight - if one was needed - into their views of the mindset of the average conservative party member.
