It's in Islington, I've just been reading some stats about it,
How shit is Islington?

Half of it is very nice, indeed it's a bit poncy, the other half is arguably worse than Hackney.

Technically it's one of the worst places to live in England

I'm going to have to walk through their in the dark if I get the job.

Fuck
I didn't realise it was that bad. I only go to the nice bit.

It's based on boring things like schools and crime, not say, access to museums, shops, cafes etc
In the same way Montreal, or somewhere in Canada always comes top in the world, because it is clean, has good schools, low crime. These are all issues of the head and not the heart.

interesting to see how none of those places are in the South West

I've got two weeks worth to make up
I'm not in work today though, so the onslaught will commence in earnest tomorrow.

Or indeed any in Scotland
Although I am surprised. The places on the list must be really shite if they're worse than Cumbernauld.

Cannock Chase is pretty nice,
loads of deer and stuff.

And a Go Ape site
Plus it has what looks like an awesome bike trail.

Like Manchester is worse than Burnley

I read a press release from a Manchester Policeman
saying manchester was one of the safest cities in the UK. Bullshit.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 10 May 2010, 12:35, Reply)

Yeah it's not particularly safe
especially not with all the stupid gangs in South Manchester. Plus we have Gorton, where Shameless is filmed. I live quite close to the city centre though where it's not too scary.

Whilst education in Hull needs to improve,
most of the people there do at least know (unlike the compilers of the above list) that Humberside was abolished in 1996.
