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

Good ole CairoOur holiday in Cairo was actually ok when we started using the term "Fuck off" to anyone who was trying to rip us off.
We got stung by a taxi driver recommended by the Intercontinental Hotel. I mean, recommended by a fucking 5 star hotel. These people have no morals at all. He took us to a small pyramid, told us that it was the real pyramids, charge us for a smelly, flee bitten camel and led us round a total craphole of an area with ruined houses and finally to a perfume shop.
Never, even trust anyone in Cairo. They are very very poor and have no qualms about ripping off 'rich' tourists. Don't trust staff at hotels, even chain hotels such as Hilton or Intercontinental.
We complained VERY loudly to the taxi driver and the hotel staff who guaranteed us upgrades and free minibar next time we went. Didn't settle for that and got a very large discount on our final bill.
