It is said that within these Betjeman lines are cleverly concealed, the map co-ordinates of the Mars Factory. Any latter day Alan Turing's here?
Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow
Swarm over, Death!

Mars headquarters is in Slough, so that could be the reference.
"Slough has been the subject of much derision. The poet John Betjeman wrote, in his 1937 poem Slough as a protest against the 850 factories and a new town in what had been formerly a rural area, and the onslaught of the suburban lifestyle"
