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

Ahh, this brings me back to my Weston daysTrapnells was the #1 source for all my things Airfix from 1988-1990 - brilliant little shop
I also worked at 10:15 records for the summer pre-university in 1994.
John, the proprieter, used to hire recovering Portugese drug adicts from the rehab centre as cheap labour. Myself, not being a portugese junkie, still got paid the same - £15 a day for the 9am-6pm shift, which works out at about £1.87 an hour.
I overcame the slave wages issue by selling myself things I like at cost price - I have a bag of rare Cure vinyl in my loft :)

I cried when the pier burnt downMy kids and I had many many happy hours on there...the rest of Weston is utterly devoid of charm. Apart from the lovely little train down the far end.
