Shittest town in the UK?
Comments

The "town" I currently live in is making a good bid for this title:
The 1930s chemical works closed down just before I moved here and I saw the place getting demolished. Nobody minds metal sheds being pulled down but they also ripped down some nice old brick office buildings which seemed like a waste.
The empty, heavily contaminated wasteland is bigger than the town and the long term plan is to leave it as a wasteland.
Almost all the shops have closed, there's only 3 takeaways but bizarrely a decent motor factors and the bike shop who tell you to order things off the internet. Buses bypass the town now.
We have a new Tesco (which put the local shops out of business, and the Coop) so there's loads more traffic, it's the new late night race track, plus they have a CHP plant replacing the stench/occasional smog from the closed chemical works.
Whenever anyone suggests something which might improve the area, the locals shoot it down. It's like they want the town to die.
On the plus side houses are dirt cheap and you're 5 minutes from the main dual carriageway and a train station
Sounds like I should check this place out, might change my view on home!Yossie wrote:Alsager, Stoke on Trent: Absolute hell hole of nothingness0 -

The only way it can be worse than Alsager is if you are forced to drink your own diarrhoea and let the town pisss covered tramp bugger you on a daily basis in the centre of the high street.
Dude - you don't honestly know how bad Alsager is. It's like permanently swimming in other people's vomit surrounded by people who are proud to racist bigoted anti Semitic necrophiliacs.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Here is an actual picture from the tourism webtsite:
That really is as nice as it gets. The cunning thing about this picture is that the snow hides the dogshit, used condoms, empty crisp packets and discarded 3litre bottles of White Litening.
There probably are worse places... but not many.
Cue Morrissey singing "this is the seaside town that they forgot to close down...."

That place with all that white stuff everywhere looks like Alsager does after the annual pig raping festival they hold in the centre of town.
By town I mean the centre of the lavatory that is Alsager.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I got told last week I needed to visit a site in Houghton Regis. I'd never heard of the place and originally thought it would be a south coast seaside town and hopefully more Lyme Regis than Bognor Regis. However, on being told it was near Luton I was thinking maybe a nice old Bedfordshire village. Imagine my disappoint on arriving and seeing the run down 1950s local shops and sprawling, depressing housing estate. Luton itself is a stinking ar$ehole but Houghton Regis is the festering boil on that ar$ehole. Fortunately it was a short visit!
That place is terrible, though it is slowly being swallow by Dumpstable, ill toss another vote in for Milton Keynes, an I live next to it, soul destroying over commercialised crap once described by Bill Bailey as Satans layby.
This place too is swallowing up other towns, such as mine. Will have to move further into the sticks when that occurs.0 -
Having lived in both Basingstoke and Crawley, I'd happily add them both to the list. 60's expansion towns at their finest/worst*

Best way to see Alsager is through a computer screen as your drone hits the shitholle with missiles wiping out the goat raping paedophilic centre of the fetid miasma of the boil on the backside of the world that is that part of your England.
Alsager makes things I have drained out people's fetid boils smell like lavender on a summer day.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Whether.
And yes, it is fact. Cambridge University did a study on the dump and so did the Government when they were looking at using Alsager as a dumping ground for nuclear waste.
They decided that nuclear waste was too good for it.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

My first reply seems to have got lost.
I think the nearest I might have been to Alsager is when I tried to escape from a gridlocked M6. The state of Alsager is of no concern to me. I just find some of this topic unnecessarily unpleasant.0 -

There's always Stoke.
Stoke is in the middle of nothing. It's not Birmingham and it not Manchester. It's not in the North and it's not in the South. It's a featureless waste of space.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
