Britains WORST top ten towns...
You might find this interesting...
We should probably take this with a pinch of salt but here are Britains worst top ten towns to live in according to the Sunday Telelgraph:
10 Hackney (Thought to be dangerous and dirty)
9 Basingstoke (Thought to be a large grotty town that was designed to take Londons overspill)
8 Bexhill On Sea (Described as being like an elephants graveyard, populated by people who are waiting to die, and smelling of ammmonia!)
7 ST Andrews (Thought to be full of irritating English toffee nosed types!)
6 Liverpool (Thought to be full of men wearing tracksuits, wearing silly moustache's and thieving) - They also said that Liverpool was once one of the richest cities in the world!! What went wrong?
5 Winchester (A beautiful spot with posh schools but also popular with lager louts leaving broken beer bottles everywhere!!)
4 Hythe (Thought to be plain boring, apart from the fact the Romans once invaded there.)
3 Morecambe (Once popular in the 1930's, it was a bit like Blackpool, but has since gone downhill and become unpopular)
2 Cumbernauld (It's said that the town of Cumbernauld was so badly built...it's basically a platform on stilts, sitting over a network of tunnels and old bunkers...students learning about town building are being shown Cumbernauld as an example of how it should NOT be done!)
1 Hull (Thought to have very high unemployment there, many of their industries have collapsed, and it's thought there's a large number drug users/heroin addicts there)

23rd July 2008 #3
I've got the top 50...don't think Rhyl is in there.. Here's the top 50
50 St Albans
49 Hinchley Wood
48 Widnes
47 Barrow In Furness!! (Described as being a ship building town with hardly any ships being built...a town guilty of building murderous nuclear submarines! ....it says the town is never without rain and career prospects don't get any more exciting than working in Mcdonalds! It also says that the town once had an outbreak of Legionnaires disease!)
46 Skelmersdale
45 Yate
44 Bridgwater
43 Alresford
42 Slough
41 Dagenham
40 Keighley
39 Hastings
38 Huntingdon

33 South Woodham Ferrers
32 Dover
31 Oxford
30 Peterhead
29 Tintern
28 Mirfield
27 Horsham (Ooooh one of my own personal dislikes!! It says Horsham is run by very conservative people, that will not allow any leisure centre's/nightclubs etc. When the towns leaders were pressurised into giving permission to build a nightclub, they said that the dancefloor in the community centre was sufficient!! Any Horsham dwellers here? Has Horsham still not got any nightclubs?

24 Leiston

Newport South Wales at 34? That explains why I'm such a moody person sometimes.

So we have some Newport, Ipswich and Wolverhampton dwellers here. Nottingham is not in the list at all!
Newport at 34 (They simply say Newport is crap! It says the beach is crap and they say the town is so crap they don't have the energy to **** it off!! ) - But it also says that Johnny Morris from the band Feeder is from Newport!
Ipswich at 25 (Described as being a potentially attractive town but has been overshadowed by hideous concrete monoliths and is uncomfortably close to the Sizewell nuclear reactors!!) - Also says there seems to be a lot of Vauxhall Nova cars in the area, with crappy looking alloy wheels!
Wolverhampton at 19 (It says the most attractive thing about Wolverhampton was the multistorey car park on School Street, but this was knocked down in the 90's, it says the people are like tribal gangs and that Banks Brewery leaves a smell in the town that's like a dead animal in a drainpipe!!) - Also says that comedians Lenny Henry and Eric Idle come from Wolverhampton!
So there you have it! That was bit of a laugh weren't it?

Johnny Morris from Feeder? You mean Grant Nicholas? Johnny Morris was born in Newport, thats correct, but he was more into animals than guitars .
Newport is the place people tend to avoid on the way either to Cardiff or back to England.
I'm Newport born, but for some bizarre reason I ended up in this place called Aberystwyth - its a mystery why I'm here

Oh! It seems both Grant Nichols AND Johnny Morris are from Newport then, I've got mixed up!

Perhaps I missed it but I can't believe that Bradford (Bradfud) didn't make the list... also, Batley (of the Batley Variety Club fame)

Highly subjective listings. Many of those places would not feature on any list of mine so I guess it all depends on your criteria. How anyone can include Oxford beats me. It is a pain to drive around but is a lovely city. Huntingdon is a nice place too. Some pretty dire places have been left off but maybe all people want are out of town retail parks full of identical shops and fast food with town centres reduced to loads of charity shops.

Oxford at 31 (They say the city is beautiful, possibly Britains most appealing town, but it also has large smelly housing estates that were built on top of the towns sewers, these estates are described as being endless matchbox houses, with pavements full of potholes and dogs pooh! It's thought that the children in that area write obscene words on walls and set fire to peoples rubbish bins! And it's nothing too unusual to see an underage girl pregnant!) - I believe the hugely popular show "Inspector Morse" Was filmed in Oxford, is that right?
