You can check all the other threads and my opinion hasn't budged. Rochdale.0

Sheffield, Bradford, Middelsbrough or maybe even Oldham.0

Spent some time in Rochdale a few years ago - it's like Reigate compared to say, Burnley.BR7_addick said:You can check all the other threads and my opinion hasn't budged. Rochdale.
Burnley is where half the houses are boarded up and the rest are run down.
There's hardly any jobs. And the weather's shite.
At least in somewhere like Leicester, you can get a good curry.

Sheffield is by far the biggest dive of the lot. If you're still wearing shell suits in 2014 then you have issues!1

We're not very friendly down here, but definitely the best place to live in the country by a very long way.0

Doncaster, absolute shithole.
Pawnbrokers and pound shops galore, not too different from Eltham High Street!!1 -

personally think sheffield is a great city, one of the best up norf.
Gloucester. My girlfriend's parents live in herefordshire, nothing like the coach journey which goes through beautiful cheltenham and then stops in gloucester where its all dirty and everyone looks like they're inbred.0 -

Birmingham. It's an absolute eyesore and only serves to slow down traffic trying to transit between the South and the North West or Wales. It's the only place in the UK that's so bad that they charge you a fiver to avoid it by using a purpose-built bypass that avoids it altogether. If the whole thing was paved over, I don't think anyone outside of Brum would really care, except those (like myself) who commute between the North West and London who would notice a considerable reduction in the travel time. I'm not sure why we're spending 30billion quid on making it an hour closer to London by train, personally I'd rather we'd spend the money making it an hour closer to the seabed.
The only reason why I can see anyone giving Sheffield a bad rap is because they haven't visited it since 1979 or because they're only visited the areas around Bramall and Hillsborough, which are both awful areas (it'd be like judging London based on the areas around Palarse or Millwall). As a former resident, the city itself is cracking and has plenty of decent watering holes, venues and eateries.4 -
St Davids - not really a city is it if you can't do a pub crawl and buy a kebab at the end of the evening?0

Stoke. London isn't the best in the UK, it's the best in the World by a long way. London and it's history is my passion and I never tire of it.0

I really like Sheffield as a city, worked up there on a conference, and its a lovely place, if you ignore the bores from Hillsborough.
Gloucester is about the worst city in the country, nothing going for it on any level.1
