At the end of this movie, the airport building plan is switched from Ali's home in Staines to Slough, another town nearby. Both towns have a dismal reputation in the U.K. (as a policeman says to Ali, "Staines is shit hole." See also poem by John Betjeman: "Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough"). So it is a natural joke for U.K. viewers.
