This is a question Rubbish Towns

I once went to Basildon. It was closed, I got chased by a bunch of knuckle-dragged yobs until I was lost in a maze of concrete alleyways and got food poisoning off pie. Tell us about the awful places you've visited or have your home.

Thanks to SpankyHanky for the suggestion

I used to work in touring theatre (dahling) and have visited most towns in the UK, literally. The worst 3, without doubt, are:

1 - Gainsborough, Lincs. Absolutely no shops, everything shut, full of cunts. When we got there the local paper was running a competition to win a car alarm. The question - guess the value of cars stolen in Gainsborough every year. (apparently it was at that time the car-theft capital of the country, though why you'd want to steal a 10 year old Ford Fiesta with no wing mirrors and undercoat instead of paint is beyond me.)

2 - Billingham, Co Durham. It was built to house the population of workers for the local ICI factory. Technically, therefore, everyone who lives in Bilingham is a factory-working chav, and since the ICI factory shut down I'm guessing the entire town is unemployed.

3 - Keighley, Yorks. There is no discernible reason to ever visit, let alone live in, Keighley.

And a bonus (4) while I'm at it - East Dereham, Norfolk. My brother lives there so I have to visit occassionally. There was a nightclub called Splits, since shut down after the owner was murdered I believe. I have never in all my life seen so many in-bred country-bumpkin farmers / squaddies. If Deliverance had been filmed here it would have been set in Norfolk, and East Dereham would be the bit where they get bum-raped.

Arf! Gainsborough!
A lot of my dad's side of the family live there. They are, quite frankly, the most terrifying people I have ever met.

I used to live in Keighley
On Bradford Street, where they have now built a mosque.

At the time it was shithole but I enjoyed it, I was 18 and there were lot's of great pubs for my "clique" I was into New Model Army and a lot of rock stuff.

The Asian neighbours were great, friendly and I was always welcome round various houses for tea and samosas.

The mainstream white kids in Keighley were proper racist twats. Although to be fair to them they were no solely racist, they pretty much hated anyone that didn't conform to their mouth breathing Kappa shell suit wearing ideals.

Fucking Hell..
Keighley - forgot about that, now that place is a shit-hole.

Got a death wish? - Go to Blush Nightclub.

Still got a deathwish, but dont want to pay to get in a place, just sit in the bus station for more than 5 minutes at about 10pm..
