  • Had the 'pleasure' of being in Ashton-in-Makerfield a couple of months ago. (Near Haydock). My god, I think I'd hang myself if I had to spend more than a night there. All the cliches, grim grim grim, barely any shops or restaurants, just loud Lancashire fat bastards in sportswear chain-smoking and brawling in the empty streets of an evening.
  • HEREFORD. Racecourse closed, football stadium closed and now a mini Poland. Absolute tip of a place.
  • Here in Donny this week we have had an armed robbery, two other instances of people being threatened with guns, our schools are about the worst in the country, oh and a bloke got four years for having sex with a Shetland Pony called Sky. Such a lovely place to live!

    What did the pony get?

    Only had Sky, couldn't get Virgin up there.

    Traumatised...wasn't quite what she expected when the fella said he was off for a pony!
  • Know it will upset a few on here, but I have to mention Woolwich. I'm from near the area myself so I don't get any pleasure in saying it, but it is an absolute dump these days.

    Not as bad as Gloucester which is full of people with three ears, two noses and webbed feet etc. my missus lives and works in Hereford and although boring as fuck it's not too bad. People are still a bit slow.

    These days? It's been far worse.

    Baltimore, glad I no longer have to go into the city every day.

    Years ago I interviewed this bloke (right toe-rag but that's a different story) who owned a night club in Donny. Obnoxious git, but he did make me laugh when he described the residents of Doncaster as "like Vikings, but without the hats".

    No hats, just the horn.
  • America edition. Baltimore (43 shooting deaths in May alone, Camden NJ ( one giant crack den), any small town that use to rely on the steel business or coal mining (dilapidated high street with shuttered businesses and everyone is older than 55. Very depressing setting), Houston (soulless downtown with bland high rises and everyone lives in the suburbs where are all the houses are exactly the same)
  • I know a few years back one of the lads mags ran a survey, "towns where you are most likely to get punched on a Saturday night" and Doncaster came second. I would nominate in that case wherever came first, but I can't recall where it was.
  • Belfast

    In a WTF! is going on sort of way.
    I spent a couple of days there last week and....
    schools are segregated,
    sunday football leagues are segregated,
    there is a wall 6 miles long and 43' (at it's highest) point separating catholics from protestants.
    steel gates between the two sides close at 8 every night.

    and there are no eastern Europeans! local jobs for local people say the paramilitaries.

  • Not a town but was in the up and coming borough of Tooting for an interview. That place is a dive.

    Really? Sounds like a utopian living for some people.
