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.

My Hame Toon as wellHalf my life there, half my life here in Derby (lucky me). Aberdeen used to be a great place but like all places, bits of it hit rock bottom, and then kept digging. Still, I'd prefer to live there than in Dundee.
