Crap Towns

[lovethesmellofnapalm]

Luton would be top of my list though
closely followed by Barnsley

[Prufrock]

I thought Wolverhampton city centre was nice! Roughly a billion times nicer than its shithole neighbour Brum. It was sunny like, but still, even Paris was grim in the rain.

And we had won, tbf. But yeah. Better than Digbeth *shudders*

I thought Digbeth was just a coach station! is there more??

I said it was nice as soon as we got there! Other people's descriptions had left me expecting SHITHOLE.
Losing would probably have added greater weight to all the chicken shops we saw afterwards though!

Seven Sisters/Tottenham, shithole. Barbes-Rochechouart in Paris, shithole.

[TANGODANCER]

Never did go a bundle on Rochdale or Burnley as towns.

[Harry Genshaw]

Nobody been to Liverpool and surrounding areas? Surprised at no mention so far.

Oh aye. Worked in Bootle for twenty years. Thankfully, went home every night. Back then, Toxteth, Norris Green and Kirby were real ratholes.

Oh yes, but Liverpool was taken as read.

Yep, it's an area of the city.

Did you know that Digbeth has a coach station, too?

Lived there 3 years. Loved it and wish I could be back there most days.

The Anchor in Digbeth is one of the best boozers you'll find. Plus there's some good live music venues round there.

Have an ex g/f that lived in Walton and another in Old Swan (no, not at the same time ) so spent plenty of time there and always detested both the place and the people.

Her Dad worked there. Nicest bloke you've ever met until the night he caught us, well, "under his roof".

Have you been into the city recently? It's changed so much now. I really enjoyed living there around the south of the city in Aigburth

I have, and it's changed beyond recognition. Doesn't alter my view though. Aigburth does have plenty of character though, and, of course, Liverpool Cricket Club. I could put up with that

[Always hopeful]

Wrexham in Wales

How very dare you !?!?

Mr Hopeful & I will be round your quick-sticks.

Ahh sorry Bobo. It might well be lovely now. I obviously saw the worst bits during my 2 visits there in the 1980s

Wrexham ain't that bad actually, tis better tha ours

I first moved to Wrexham in 1989, but only stayed a few months. I moved back to the area in 2002 and was pleasantly surprised at the improvements that had been made. It was a dump and is now no different to most other small/medium sized towns. There are a lot worse that's for sure.

Redcar anyone?
Ellesmere Port?

One of my bezzie mates has a place in Erbistock, the place is utterly stunning!
