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 !

Re: Britons worst town (or city)

A toss up between Banbury (it smells like someone has taken a dump...must be the food factory in the centre) or Cardiff (full of junkies and chavs)....hmmmm to close to call

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.

Swindon, nominated solely for Liden, Park South/North and Penhill and most of the inhabitants of said ****-laden areas.

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.

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
