Rubbish TownsI 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 livejust next door in Stockton-on-Tees [whilst at Durham uni - unfortunately trapped in their Stockton 'Queen's Campus'], and between the two, I'd have preferred Middlesbrough because at least it had some reasonable-ish shopping.
i.e. there was a bookshop or two in the city. Stockton is the only town i've ever seen that does NOT have a bookshop, barring a shitty W H Smith that mostly sold DVDs and top-shelf wankrags. HOW CAN A TOWN NOT HAVE A BOOKSHOP?? The vast majority of the high street was budget or pound-stores. sad.
Mind you - Stockton does have a fucking brilliant piercing shop, so it wasn't all bad.

I was born in Stocktonand keep going back as I've got family there.
There are a few places that sell books... supermarkets and the like generally.
Also,
www.touchlocal.com/nat/c-218-t-22844-Bookshops-Stockton+on+Tees
has a list of them. I'm pretty sure a good few of them were there last time I was on Stockton High Street. Though I'd doubt that most of the locals would be able to point you towards them...
