Places in the UK you hate

[Section_31]

I can't say I see the appeal of London but it's such a massive place that I don't see how you caould say it's all shit. That's like saying Manhatten is shit because Harlem is.

[liver bird]

I like London just wouldn't want to live there, I don't even mind Blackpool tacky central and proud of it but I have had a laugh there, the contenders for utter shitness have to go to St Helens, Warrington, stoke, skelmersdale (although thats less for the people and more for being full of roundabouts) but the winner has to be Barnsley...seriously that place is for the mental and retarded.

[Liverpool lad]

My problem with London is just how busy and crowded it seems all the time, too much for me

[MokTheAfflicted]

Grimsby - Cold, wet and miserable. Nottingham - seems to be breeding ground for knob-heads. Birmingham - Cant abide the accent. Bolton - complete fuckwits. And Cardiff station at 1 a.m

[manwiththestick]

Rhyl. No need to expand on that.

[diaspora]

Gloucester....not a nice place

Cardiff....not a nice place

West Bromwich...not a nice place

Wolverhampton...not a nice place

Mansfield not a nice place

 

Birmingham OK in parts

London OK in part

[fowler9]

gotta agree with Skem from what i've seen Melons, absolute dump

 

think Rochdale only exists to make other places feel good about themselves too

[thechap]

Everywhere.

 

Just an Island full of shite and people I cant stand.

 

This. Would also rep you for the Mordor comment below this one but I've obviously bummed you recently as it won't let me.

Pretty grim but there are much; much worse places in the wild west (Cumbria).

 

The aptly named "Prospect" is something to behold.

I can't believe Coventry hasn't got a mention. i can only assume that you haven't been there. It has absolutely no redeeming features. Hideous accent, grim architecture, moronic population. I had to spend 18 months there and i couldn't wait to leave.

[sparta7]

Unless I've missed it I cant believe nobody has mentioned Widnes? It makes Runcorn look like Beverly Hills.

 

Other places on my travels, good shouts for Slough, Luton, Barnsley and Wishaw.

 

Purfleet in Essex - went to my hotel bar and ordered a pint, bloke stood there.."Are you scouse?" "Yes" "Want a fight?" "Not terribly no..." A town full of gas storage tanks next to that open sewer known as the Thames.

Guildford - full of hoorays talking about money

Reading - shithole

Ellesmere Port - ditto

[Lurtz]

Ooh, just remembered: Aylesbury.

 

I was there on a training course last year. What a stinking, shitty, chavvy little hole.

 

 

Edit: Isn't Gazelle from Aylesbury? What's happened to her?

Holy shit, that place needs nuking just for that monstrosity.

 

Can some one explain why one large roundabout wasn't enough? To be fair to skem at least they have that roundabout shit sorted.

That's the monster roundabout in Swindon, one of many many roundabouts in the town, here's another:

The first one was worse. That was just insane. What the fuck were they thinking?

Someone got Spirograph that Christmas.

They weren't at the time, however, it does work surprisingly, unless you're from out of town and have no idea this thing exists. Seen many a motorist completely bamboozled by this beast of a roundabout.

 

Swindon is rife with roundabouts, I've never known so many in one town.

Basingstoke has the highest number of roundabouts per head of population.

 

I'm having a Partridge moment, I think.

Glasgow is pretty dire...

 

Ordered a cheesburger and chips. Got a bit of battered meat, no bap, a mound of grated cheese and some chips. The ketchup was pink too. If a town/city can't do a chippy properly, it shouldn't really exist.
