SNACR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Christchurch is not a dump, it is quite a very place. The warehouse logistics hub is called Crick, I believe it is one large Eddie Stobart depot. Christchurch town centre is a grotty little open air arcade and a high st with Fish & Chip restaurants full of the blue rinse pensioners. The rail freight terminal is near Crick. I was referring to Daventry itself which still has masses of distribution square footage. Did you know Weston has 10 % of Britains drug rehab beds ? I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. There's always so many shouty bald blokes you could mistake it for an episode of Masterchef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnionTerror Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'll go for:Southampton Crawley Scunthorpe Biggleswade Hatfield Portsmouth Haywards Heath London Weymouth Berwick I dont mind Weymouth that much.. Its pretty nice during the summer..It has a bit of violence (It was shown on a Sky program about Britain's Toughest Seaside Towns).. Although they keep on ejaculating over the fact that they will have Olympic events down there... the bypass will certainly help..the traffic is appalling going in..

Arnold J Renter Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Although they keep on ejaculating over the fact that they will have Olympic events down there... Didn't realise that had become an Olympic event. Do you think 2.3 metres will be enough to get me into the finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarman001 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Bristol is a fantastic city.Great nightlife, got loads going on, not bad at all. (Seriously, it's alright). Thanks! I've been before but always at night and never saw much. How about Derby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving For a Space Ship Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wrexham anywhere on Deeside eg. Holywell Rhyl Leigh Park / Havant Bognor Regis Birmingham I went to Gloucester the other day for the first time. The place seemed a bit desperate Edit: I wonder why they did not keep printing the Crap Towns books? Perhaps it was just a fad . http://idler.co.uk/category/crap-towns/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crap_Towns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest มร หล Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks! I've been before but always at night and never saw much. How about Derby? Never spent any time there, well, I drove through it once. Go for Bristol. Clifton, The Downs, Shirehampton, Redland, Park Street, The Watershed . . . fantastic areas and places. Avoid St. Paul's, Fishponds, Montpellier, and that general area.

No ladies and gentlemen, we have to agree on a winner and I nominate Bridgend as Britains most depressing town as the locals keep voting with their lives, and they should know. Who can have a problem with that then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can have a problem with that then ? Let`s localise: within Hampshire = Portsmouth, Havant, Leigh Park, Gosport. All in a rough radius of 10 miles with Portsmouth as the epicentre!

grumpy-old-man-returns Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Workington takes some beating. bl00dy hell ravenglass, I nearly spat my coffee over my lappy when I saw this thread. dogbox as the topic starter, I thought right then....we had lot's of posting history. Then I looked at the 2nd reply & casual Observer was on there & I thought right then, right then.....here we go.....time to get some serious laughing/taking ther p1ss comments (childish yet remarkably satisfying sometimes ). Then I saw the bl00dy date.......BU55ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AuntJess Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Gloucester is the unwashed drunk in an otherwise beautiful county. It should be shipped down the Severn to somewhere more appropriate, like South Wales. I like South Wales, but agreed Gloucester is a dump, and I'd so expected it to be like the rest of the county - like Cheltenham or Cirencester.

Jabberwocky Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 There are so many in my area. Basingrad and Alderscheiss (has improved slightly) but by far the worst is Bracknell. I was in Crawley recently and cannot think of a reason why I would want to go back there. Harlow did not reek of sophistication and elegance either. I guess a lot of these M25 satellite towns are all identikit s**tholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
