The 10 Crappiest British Towns

London? York? Utter tosh. Southampton? Hardly.

Stoke-on-Trent, fair enough.
 
thing about London is it depends where - mile end , sucks like a ten dollar whore , Belgravia - not so much (this is of course true of all big towns)

basildon on the other hand is an unmitigated s***hole - when I was there I lived at the 'nice end' (laindon) and it was only nice by comparison with the rest of town

The last time I went to Cornwall the guard looked at my ticket and said 'This train don't stop Camborne on a Wednesday'.
You'll never guess what he suggested !
 
my vote goes to Stockport.
Grew up nearby and what a s***hole!
This taken from Stockports entry in the 2005 crap towns book;

The overiding ‘look’ for Stockport’s locals is a shaven head with optional Fila cap / visor perched on top, a Reebok shell suit the legs of which are tucked into a pair of overpowering patterned socks and a pair of Rockport, Timberland or Kicker boots. Gold jewellry is popular, usually incorporating sovereigns and / or Marijuana leaf motifs. The male uniform is fairly similar.

:lol::lol:
 
this too;

Anyone deviating from this universally accepted look faces daily verbal and physical abuse.
Entertainment includes avoiding being glassed in one of the town’s many pubs, avoiding being stabbed on the infamous “192″ bus and avoiding leaving your house as much
as possible.
Merseyway precinct is the town’s heart. If you do wish to buy anything from Woolworths, Argos or “Everything
For �1″, avoid walking within stone’s throw of the 2nd floor balcony edge or you face a shower of gob, McDonald’s fries and of course stones from the gangs of youths above.
Recent attempts to open an Amsterdam-style cannbis cafe were thwarted by local police.

A KIND LETTER
I was only made aware of your magazine, by reading an article in the local Stockport paper, which expresses it’s outrage at your comments on the town, and decided to look you up on the net. I, myself, am Stockport born and bred, and can assure you that your comments were absoloutely spot on. It’s *****. Well Done.
Our local MP, Ann Coffey, alleges that she doesn’t know the town from your description, and thinks you must mean Southport ! She has obviously never glanced at someone, accidentally, in Luckies on a Friday night and then got filled in, in the car park afterwards.
I’ll be writing to the “Letters To The Editor” part of the paper, this week, (anonnymously) commending your article. I’ll let you know how I go on.
Regards.

HULL.

Seriously, how did they overlook that sphincter of a town??
 
indeed hull on earth
 
Swindon as well - how that got missed is a mystery for our times (and Didcot)
 
Wow... by the look of the places "suggested" in this thread, wouldn't it be easier to make a thread "Nicest places in Britain"?

Hope not too many tourist reads this! :D
 
Most of the nicest places are outside the towns ;)

Though Bath, Cirencester, and Witney are all okay

How about this? 12 places you'd never believe were in the UK. Some lovely looking places.
 
You are right Leeds is an utter toilet - its one redeeming feature is that its not quite as bad as bradford or rotheram
 
This just in; a criminal gang have stolen a large West Yorskhire city. Police have no Leeds.

:coat:
 
I feel a bit sorry for Chipping Norton there. It's not the town's fault awful people move there. It's not a horrible place in and of itself. Unlike, say, Slough
 
I don't think the author of the list has visited any of the fenland Cambridgeshire towns like chatteris and wisbech. Peterborough is also completely soulless (but has a slightly more diverse gene pool).

I haven't been to wisbech for about 5 years, the last time i did, I recall some grunt (filthy tracksuit, big thick bushy monobrow) taking running kicks at pigeons he'd been feeding his chips to and booting them across the street, breaking the bird up into bits. Made me feel sick. How anybody could do such a thing for laughs is beyond me.

Totally agree, Wisbech is a hell hole and you showed remarkable restraint not kicking that vile creature in the cobblers. Last time I was there some spotty little horror gave me a bit of abuse at the bus station, very brave seeing as he was holding a kiddie at the time.
 
don't worry it will flood soon - global warming natures answer to inbred wuckfits :lol:
 
So the author never went to Bolton then, a real ****hole.

Norty, don't edit to beat the swear filter ;)

No Welsh towns either....could I put forward Rhyl :thumbsdown: or maybe even Colwyn Bay..:shake:
 
I think it might be easier and quicker just to say that the whole of the British Isles is a bit rubbish. :D
 
How about counties? Can we just throw the whole of Essex into the sun? Been stuck here 9 years and havnt found a nice place yet.
 
Might as well include ... EVERYWHERE
 
Having been brought up in the Medway towns, I can't understand why Chatham is not on the list, or come to think of it, Southall. Not far from me but it's bloody awful.

Hull, went there once and everybody seemed to have had a charisma by pass, the streets were dirty, and it just looked s****.

To put "London" on the list, well, it's a very big place and some parts are rather nice. Although of course some aren't....
