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

[Montreal Wanderer]

Many UK towns can seem grim (or did 40 years ago) but things could be much worse. Take for example the capital of the Philippines and contrast it with East London.

Ok but where's the picture of the capital of the Philippines?

Isn't that the view behind Moses Gate station?

the first one he sez

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.

Well my sister lived in that part of the world for years and educated me.

Hebden Bridge is the Glastonbury of the north - new age thinkers, musicians, poets, writers, travellers - you name it. Lots of tourists cafe's and gift shops.

But Todmorden has a motto which says it all - " BETTER THAN BACUP"


(Barnsley still gets my vote)

Thought that was Alderley Edge and Haworth?

Fleetwood.

Bet it hasn't changed in the last millenia.

Hmmm Hebden the Glastonbury of the north???? I think not, canabis smoking, lesbian hippy capital of the north maybe.

went to Haydock races Sat and started at 11am at the Wetherspoons in Wigan.

there'd just finished a civil ceremony at the town hall and 30 or so Wiganners descended on the bar to have their slap up wedding breakfast - ie 30 beer and burgers. i shit you not, although in fairness i think there were a couple of breakfasts involved. one lad had found a shirt that was ok, some pants that fit and matched them up with some reebok classics.

case closed?

You won't be far off.

If Wigan station is anything to go by, the town must be an utter crapheap. I once watched a minging, Kappa-trackie clad family of father, grandfather and grandson/daughter (never did suss the gender of the latter) get on there, and sit opposite me. They immediately cracked open a can of Miller each and started supping. The ticket inspector came up and they asked for two adults and a child fares. The inspector said if that was the case then he'd have to take the can off the child, otherwise they'd have to pay three full fares. It took them about five minutes to come to a decision. But then if you've only got 15 brain cells between you...
