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

Hull... Need I say more?
Admittedly, I'm probably spoilt, having grown up in York, a lovely city, but to me, Hull is the shittest place on Earth. I've lived in Nottingham, where gang related gun crime is commonplace, but at least it's not Hull.
Hull is stuck at the end of the M62, literally at the end of the world. The people here are so backwards it makes me want to weep. I worked in a chemist shop which had over 200 methadone addicts- in ONE SHOP!!
To give an example of how thick the people here are, our car was stolen, then three weeks later it was parked, two streets from where we live, in EXACTLY the same condition as it was when it was stolen! They didn't even think to change the number plates!
The most annoying thing about Hull, however, is its gravity-well effect. Once you've been, you can't stay away! I left, I got as far as Australia, then, for some reason inexplicable to myself, I moved back of my own volition! You hear this story all to often in Hull- people who left, ended up coming back, then shortly afterwards wanted to leave again... Crazy

It's not even at the end of the M62
They couldn't be bothered building it all the way there.

Shit Hull
Good call, i was just about to point that out! The M62 stops about 15 miles outside of Hull and becomes a Dual Carriageway. It's like the builders suddenly thought "hang on a minute, this is going to Hull, why fucking bother". I am the only member of my family to have left the area and find that theres no better cure for home sickness than going into Hull City Centre on a Saturday afternoon. It normally only takes about five minutes before i think "thank fuck i've left".
