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 have to go there once every 6 weeks for work and it depresses the fuck out of me.
The funniest part of it is when you go to the godawful nightclub there's a bloke in the bogs offering to spray you with Lidl own brand "colognes" as though it has pretensions of being some upper class spot.

That photo does make it look less depressing than it is.
Haven't been in the nightclub, been in a couple of pubs there and the women look harder than the men.
Edit: This pic is probably a more accurate summary.

That when they brought in the smoking ban they forgot that they might need to do something about the stink of the locals and maybe clean the pubs etc up a bit so they don't smell too bad. Went to one in August where, when you went for a piss the gents didn't smell bad compared to rest of the place, just "different"

Which is right next to my (now demolished)Primary School. It's probably the only view of the town centre which shows it in a good light.
