This is a link post Crap Towns
Is your town on here?
A Short Example..

Stoke

"I visited Stoke several years ago and I have to say that it I quite possibly the worst place I have ever been (after Hull).

There seemed to be a grey charcoal colouration to every element of the city. The paths, roads, buildings and the people seemed to carry the same grey gloom with them as if possessed by body snatchers. It’s almost as if Stoke had been covered in a depressing film of dust after a nuclear explosion. Then the city council had replaced all the destroyed buildings with red brick eye sores."

This is a normal post Stoke is more horrible than Hull.
By quite a margin, too.


EDIT: my town is on there, inasmuch as that I was born in Stoke, spent my childhood nearby, and then was an undergrad in Hull. I quite liked Hull...

EDIT2: What, no Birmingham? Now that is a horrible place. Lived there as well...

I left Stoke in 2005.It would certainly be high on my crap towns list, but it does have the best selection of dodgy takeaways in existence. Does it still have that building right in the centre that looks like a big middle finger?

This is a normal post Neither
the town closest to where I grew up - Newry, nor the town I live in - Telford, are on the list. Which is surprising, as Telford often shows up on those lists.

This is a normal post I beg to differ.
I once went to Ostia Antica and that is the dog shittiest place on earth.

You couldn't walk along the pavement without stepping in it - genuinely fucking awful.

Hey Jahled, I've been speaking to people at ZSL today - Do you know a Kate Jones, or Andrew Cunningham?

"In Yatton, the elderly are like dirty, damaged vultures. They converge at awful jumble sales. They rummage and fight for socks and underpants that have been torn from the stiff corpses of their previous ancient occupiers."

I've lived there, and wholeheartedly agree!
