    The occupants of most of these places make you realise that the once common practice of transorbital labotomies should never have ceased.

    I don't whether to laugh or cry. Still I won't have to look at them again, I've just gone blind. Result!!

    Liverpool ladies are great, not half loking forward to saturday night after watching the footy and going round town - best laugh you can have when you meet them. If only Claire Balding would change her accent. :D

    Is Dr Paisley aware that Northern Ireland is no longer part of the UK?

    South Woodham Ferrers, 1970's planners gone mad!
    Basildon, with a leisure park called Bas Vegas need I say more
    and another 60's monstrosity, Harlow.

    It's all very well slagging off Stoke and Rhyl, how about balancing this with another southern heck-hole: Havant, Hampshire?
    Awful - for those who know the place, I only need to say...Leigh Park.
    As said, I'm from Staffordshire and actually lived in Rhyl for a few years. They're not that bad. If you need to score, they are good places to be :wink:

    As the South West is very underrepresented in this thread I would like to nominate Bridgwater, a true sh1thole of a town and indeed the worst town in the westcountry. For another crappy Somerset town look no further than Langport, not completely awful by any means but just a dump in which someone seems to have forgotten to build a town centre. I've got to say Plymouth is pretty bloody dire as well.

    Isn't Bridgwater a small suburb of the Morrisons Distribution Centre? Yes, Plymouth must be up there as one of the South West's entrants with Camborne and Penzance fighting the corner for Cornwall.

    I had to spend a couple of Saturday afternoons in SWF last summer, was glad to get away unscathed.

    Basildon I was shown from a car, that was enough.

    Still on the balancing act...
    A buddy of mine from St Austell always reckoned Redruth was truly beyond belief awful. I, being a naive Midlander, thought that as it was in Cornwall it might be alright. I stayed with him for a while and we went there... my God. No words of his could prepare me. Will someone come to their rescue?

    Aberdeen. Could be a wonderful city, if it weren't for the Aberdonians. As Bill Bryson described them, "the only people mean enough to pick a ha'penny from a dunghill with their teeth". I've lived in Glasgow, Wishaw, Romford, Milton Keynes and High Wycombe, and I'd go back to any of those before I'd go back to Aberdeen.

    Redruth has gone downhill over the years. It all started when Redruth Grammar school closed imho :wink: St Austell is hardly the jewel in Cornwall's crown though, is it?

    Was it Sunnydale the name of the town in Buffy the Vampire Slayer that was some sort of portal to Hell? It's sort of like that.

    For the nice bits. For me though, it is above all my family that keeps me in England.
