Stoke-on-Trent is a city... You may eliminate one of the towns that make it up, but not the one i'm living in, as I like it... wink
And can we keep Fenton (work) and Longton (home) to smile

Crewkerne, it's a hole


Highbridge, it's a bigger hole


I have worked in both, "nuke em form orbit, it's the only way to be sure"

Sorry town centre Oldham doesn't need wiping off the map.
It just needs a neutron bomb.

Then us who live in the nice bits on the edge can start going back into town.

Reading.

Town centre populated by wkers, chain pubs, chain stores and no fking personality whatso-fking-ever. A true commuter town - populated by aholes who work in the big smoke without any care about the place they fking live in.

And no - Caversham does not escape the immolation. Postcode snobbery at it's worst. Stuck up s who think that they are somehow better for living over that side of the river.

Twats - it's London writ small.

fk it - nuke Berkshire.

s

(anyone living in Sonning, Henley, Pangbourne, Tidmarsh or anywhere remotely near it....you're fooling no-one but yourselves)

What a fking waste...

They knew a thing or two back in the 1950s, which is why they built the UK's Atomic Bomb Factory just outside Reading. I'm sure the thinking went along the lines of that either by Butter Fingers or Boris's Finger (on the button), Reading was going to get a well deserved nuking.

So, what went wrong?

That being said, I live in Bracknell and work in Slough, both of which would benefit hugely from a couple of hundred kilotons of instant sunshine.

Growing up in Pangbourne, we actually took some comfort from the proximity of Greenham and AWE. If anything went off, we'd never know it.

I stand by my assertion that it's a waste. So much beautiful countryside in the Berkshire Downs... and now Pangbourne is merging into Purley into Reading...and back the way, into Hermitage, into Newbury....

It's a crying shame

If the thread title contained the word Towns then I vote (in no particular order)

Bradford
Blackburn (minus a few restaurants)
Oldham
Colne
Burnley
Manchester
London and so on
Sheffield

This thread should be changed to which towns would you save!

Probably Bradford. Or Coventry. Or Oldham.


The most hateful places I've ever had the misfortune to visit.

Come off it!

It would half to be Goole before Selby.

Both would be preferred though.

Although I wouldn't care if Milton "bloody" Keynes is to be removed.

I haven't spent much time in English towns but I did spend a night in Northampton once.

I really wish I hadn't. What a depressing, dull and horrible place it was.
The hotel I stayed in was very nice, something like the "Lime Tree" I think.
I went out for dinner with my Dad, struggled to find any restaurants in the town and certainly no pubs that we would go in to.
Returned to the hotel to find the Police in reception as a gang of kids had tried to rob the night clerk.

I will actively look to never be in that town again.

Nearer to home there is a few I could mention but I don't want to upset the neighbours or my family.

I would recommend avoiding Campbeltown though. If you ever had to get rid of a ticking bomb Lethal Weapon style, this would be a good place tho chuck it.
