Oscar, Alex, and Reading Gaol

Besides Reading Gaol, there was Reading Rainbow, and Reading Railroad, the last of Parker Brother Monopoly fame.

There was also reading as one of the three R’s: reading, riting, and rithemetic. Yet we do not speak, nor does Alex Jones, of Riting Gaol, even though gaols are for riting wrongs. Sure they are. Sure.

Alex is literate, with fine delivery, an even vocal yet appropriately gravel-like rumble, appropriate to the rumble in the jungle of a prison planet.

Alex, “Rumble in the Flagrant”.

Oscar,”Rumble in the Fragrant.”

Down by the Riverside, down by the riverside… Is there a Reading River? Or obversely, conversely, perversely, what river runs through Reading? It is the Thames.
