Re: Britons worst town (or city)
I believe there is a little book that came out with the UK's worst town's.
The problem is that a lot of town's are all going down hill at the moment.
Over the past few years , I've seen many shops close down to be replaced with phone shops.
Half of the shopping centre here is phone shops.
We need different shops that can offer a speciality and not somewhere where I can buy the exact same thing two doors away.
Oh and dont get me started on fast food stores, pizza places, and donna kebab shops. I know a place in Leicester that has a fast food shop nearly every other house on the same road. Disgusting !

Or, as Chris Tarrant once said on his breakfast show "Happyness in Slough in your Rear-view mirror."
Having said that, Crewe could give Slough a run for it's money.

Mansfield in Nottinghamshire is a dump, the pigeons fly upside down because there is nothing worth S****NG on, even the dogs walk round in 3's incase they get mugged.

Re: Britons worst town (or city)
I'll have to back 'Crap Towns' up, and say that it's got to be Hull - it truly does have the smell of death about it
