I live in Nantwich, which is nice to look at with lots of pubs and crumpet.
Within 5 miles is Crewe. Which is a piss-hole.

Bury's fantastic - from the new bit on The Rock to the best market in the north west. I don't enjoy shopping much, but I do in Bury.
May the bridges I burn light your way

Indeed, that entire area is without a single redeeming feature. I used to work in Smethwick - dreadful place. It wouldn't surprise me if the suicide rate in the Black Country is higher on average than everywhere else.tripod wrote:Wolverhampton is a shit tip of epic proportions

Re: Crap Towns
You could probably add about 40 suburbs of London into this list too. Aswell as some in other major cities.
Slough is a miserable place, in particular.

I very, very nearly ended up working in Whitehaven for 2 years beginning in July. Managed to get Carlisle in the end, but for a while I was very nervous.Worthy4England wrote:Whitehaven and Barrow are up there with the best of them. Can't think of any redeeming features.

Re: Crap Towns
the town where I will be moving has a hotel - and a brown-sign advert proclaiming "the hotel that inspired the idea for Faulty Towers"
now... it's NOT the place where it was filmed - but presumably the place where the writer of Faulty Towers had such a shitty stay that he wrote the series...
would you really want that as your advert???
