Of all of the places I have been
Luton is the foulest shit hole in the UK, that I have visited. I was insulted and treated to racist abuse by non English speaking factory workers, I stayed in a flea bag B&B that gave me a skin rash and had to use the nastiest chip shop in the world for my evening meal. I vowed never to work in Luton again because it was so horrid. Luton should be bombed to rubble and concreted over to prevent it ever existing again.

I have lived in Swindon and enjoyed it even though it was not exactly a hive of adventure. I have lived in Bath and loved the hippy folk until I grew bored with Dreadlock snobbery. I have lived in Barmouth (North Wales) and really enjoyed the outdoor gear shop. However, the worst place I have ever lived was Plymouth. A run down navy town populated, in some areas, by inbred scum and habitual thieves. Yeah, I lived in the poor sector for a while and would regularly watch the local burglars robbing from each other or ripping out the flooring from a run down council house and selling the debris to buy drugs.

Dartmoor made it worth while for a long time, but even that lost it's magic in the end.

I was walking around ALDI the other day while on my lunch break from work (our only local shops are ALDI or ASDA, totally chav-tastic) when I began to feel homesick. They had a display of German chocolate coated Ginger Bread. I grew up in Paderborn in Germany due to an Army Dad and every now and again I really miss it.

Plymouth...
I had the great misfortune to live there once, and can only agree with your excellent description.
