Crap Towns

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Could make up some about southern towns i suppose, just havent been to many. But if it helps redress the balance...

[Gooner Girl]

Crawley is southern and a bit of a dump.

[Little Green Man]

Great Yarmouth is an total hole of a place. And if you're looking to complete the I-Spy Book Of Dog Shit then Dunbar's not a bad bet.

people being very quick to slag off the north here...

We had a visitor over from Canada last year for a week. They were obsessed with the Bolton town hall. Wanted to go in every day just to look at it.......

All down to perceptions I guess.....

Really is a magnificent building, along with all of Le Mans Crescent. Hence my point about people being a bit quick to point out the standard of retailer in Bolton rather than its splendid architecture.

Le Mans Crescent



The Town Hall

We need somebody reading these names out over a background of 'Jerusalem' ...

[Gary the Enfield]

Yeah you have left yourself wide open there.



Bolton is becoming a ghost town.





Even on a Saturday afternoon its f33ckin empty (other than preachers and emigrants )

Me and the Missus have started to go to Wiggin for a day shopping, cos it far better than asylum seekers central.



R.I.P. BOLTON.

Erm, what?

Having lived in the Todmorden area for a couple of years, I can safely say Hebden Bridge on a rainy day is as miserable as it gets. I've always been proud to live in Bolton, but retail wise, not sure what happened. Wigan and Bury are really excellent places to shop and wander around.

They're really not!!!!!

Used to enjoy going round Hebden, my mate lived there. Not much to do and lots of hippies but has a bit of character and good pubs !

Well yes, the shops aren't bad

It's no doubt changed since I lived up there, and in summer the whole area can be lovely, but winter and the rain are a different tale, or at least were.

We'll have to disagree then. Not that we don't often.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

i think Bury's ok for shopping.

Aye look, with shopping it entirely depends what people's needs and wants and likes are.

I think Bolton is fine, but then I rarely go shopping and when I do its for as short a time as possible. So somewhere with few decent shops suits me down to the ground.

End of the day I hear a lot of people moan there aren't many "high street and designer shops in Bolton". Well go figure.

not posh enough for the BWFCi shopping experience...
