I spent
an entire week in Northampton on a course. Christ what a shitehole.

I was holed up in the hotel a couple of miles outside the town (not unlike Crossroads Motel if I recall), but managed to cadge a lift into town one night to sample some action.

It was shut. The whole fecking place. It was like a ghost town. I decided to go to see a film at the newly opened mulitplex thingy. I was the only customer in the entire building! I went up to the counter for a coffee and a hot dog, and was served by 6 people simulataneously. I was the only person in the cinema itself ('Ali', for those interested).

The film finished, I came out, and looked for a pub to go for a quick couple of pints.

They were all shut. Half past 10 on a weeknight, and every pub was shut.

I looked for a chippy, or pizza place to grab a quick bite. Again, everything was shut.

What the fuck?

That's complete crap.
On any weeknight, there's at least 3 or 4 pubs open, and at least one or two kebab/pizza places. I'm assuming by "newly opened multiplex thingy" you meant Sol Central in the middle of town. About 30 seconds walk from 2 pubs and 2 kebab places.
