Hongxin Oriental Buffet
Seen from the car park. This is in a lovely setting next to Peatmoor Lagoon. There was a poster advertising dragon races on the lake one day quite soon - sounds fun.

Sparcells from Shaw Forest Park, Swindon
The 1980s housing estate lies in two grid-squares, this one and SU1186 to the left or west. The viewpoint is just inside the subject square looking very slightly west of north. Thus the right-hand part of the image showing the houses is in SU1286 as is most of the foreground.

Part of the Cellular Operations Building, West Swindon
The building, empty until recently, has been refurbished and awaits new occupiers. At present it looks a little forlorn, like a pretty girl who's been stood up.
Update 05 July 2009: the building is now called 'Arclite House' and presently has two occupiers, HSM Ltd and Renaissance Easy Claim.
