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

Making another nomination for Swindon
Despite it being the pinnacle of steam at one point, and managing to give Oasis their name at another point, Swindon has to be a complete shithole of a town. The chav population, the slags, the sheer dreariness of the town, the lack of any decent monument or anything vaguely interesting apart from the steam railway museum (which is good for about an hour or two, depending on your attention span), the conniving evil bastardness that is both the Magic Roundabout and the one way system and general cuntishness of the pedestrianised areas, plus as has been previously mentioned, a general atmosphere and feeling of wrongness manage to make up Swindon.
Guaranteed, on any episode of a cops-with-cameras type show, there will be at least one clip from Swindon, if not the occasional outright "Swindon Special". Which is actually quite impressive considering that Swindon packs the vast majority of its pubs and clubs into two streets which form a T junction, whereas most other large towns and cities spread their pubs and clubs over the place.
Please avoid this shithole. You really don't need to do your time here in Swindon if you're a vaguely good person.
