Rubbish Towns
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

Dunfermline, surely
It's like some post-apocalyptic film where a potentially nice place is overrun by vicious, apelike mutants and their maggot-children. Natives bang on about how billionaire Andrew Carnegie hailed from there and gifted the place a fine park (which now doubles as a rubbish tip) and an impressive library (mostly empty). The schemie areas are grey concrete hellholes filled with those-who-are-dead-inside. The middle class are all Daily Mail readers silently seething with rage, fear and despair, cowering inside their pebbledash bungalows. The children are evil incarnate, stunted elves of hatred. During the short, grey days, there is literally nothing inhabitants would rather do than wander from shop to remaining shop looking for cellphones, sport gear, charity shit and McDonalds. I lived there for five years. I have nothing humorous to say about the place. There will always be a place in my heart as black and cold as the grave, called "Dunfermline".

oooh yeahhh
Grew up in Fife, you are correct - Ballingry is the silent hill of the unglorious kingdom, closely followed by Keltie, Lochgelly, Methil and possibly the picturesque Kirkcaldy suburb that is Smeaton *shudder*
Mind you, there are some really lovely rural bits as well - sha-hoor sir neighbour

Yes!
The highlight of my time there was being insulted by a waiter in an OAP-ridden cafe who gave me a cup of hot chocolate with weevils floating in it.
