Which town in the UK is the biggest crap hole you been to?

[officer_dibble]

Cas isnt that bad....I actually live fairly nearby...and it has an awesome X-Scape. Its certainly no Featherstone or Barnsley.

Grimsby is grim, but they do have great fish and chips.

Went to Cas yesterday for the rugby and I found there to be a distinct Royston Vasey character about the place, though to be fair Xscape is a crackin' development.

Agree with Worksop being up there as well btw

I once said on here somewhere Hebden Bridge in the rain is about as grim as it gets. Oh, and then there's Todmorden.

Todmorden was the hotspot for UFO sightings at one time,I think it was more wishful thinking on the part of the townfolk,Dr shipman had a house there as well and it looks like something out of the adams family.

Nah, it was Ramsdens Stonetrough Ales. After a few pints of that everything's a UFO.

Wednesbury, West Midlands. I went there once and saw Doug McClure being chased by dinosaurs.

[ratbert]

Birmingham.

End of thread.

You trying to make me feel better?

Good thread

I spent three years in Hull... one weekend!

That won the title for a while but recently I went to Port Talbot, south Wales. CAPS points out that ex-coaltowns are soul-shuddering places; for non-locals (which I believe is everyone here except Bobby5) this one's a decaying steeltown on the eastern rim of Swansea bay with two-fifths of f*ck-all going for it.

See the "slideshow" here. Picture 2 is the M4, for feck's sake.

Having spent two nights there, trust me Sluffster it ain't - particularly not at closing time!

As I said I lived in Skem for a couple of years. Before that I lived in a town on the west coast of Scotland. This place made the old gorbels look selubrious, may I present Saltcoats. I'd rather have lived in Hulme.

I'll second Commie's Bradford. Followed closely by Castleford, Halifax and Manchester.

Any town twixt Manc Vic and Bolton. Any town that is linked to a military airfield, particularly Scampton, Ely, Wattisham, Kinloss, Yeovil, Brawdy. Also Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, GRIMsby, 'ull, Pompey, Plymouth. Trouble is you can smell the public toiletrs but you can never find them. Surprised to hear about Farnworth as that used to be quite nice (back in the fifties (!)). I live in thje posh part of East London, but two hundred yards in any direction is the pits.

There may be nothing else there, but Ely cathedral is pretty damn spectacular, and comfortably disqualifies it from this list on its own.

[superjohnmcginlay]

I forgot Ashton in Makerfield, Haydock, Carlisle, Burnham on Sea (in the winter), Bridgewater. Infact anywhere ive been sent to work.

[perfan]

Morecambe

[bobby5]

Morecambe

[InsaneApache]

Morecambe

Oh god yes.

[James B]

Oh, aye! Seen that many times but any building serving only red wine doesn't deserve promoting.
