Which Town would you erase from the UK map?

[snotsnfarts]

Well having two weeks to spare this summer got the motorhome out and did a tour around the England from Dover to Cornwall to Blackpool to Bridlington to London and the winner for the s*** hole was Grimsby, drove into the centre and felt like it had been abandoned, 4 out of 5 shops shuttered and boarded up, the name say's it all.

I can't believe you wrote that just for me!

Swadlincote.

Damp, depressing, smells of lard and is populated by tracksuited zombies.

It's a place that always made me think of sticky lino whenever I had to go there!

Four pages in and no Portsmouth or Crawley? Crapholes both of them.

Basingstoke and Luton are getting a couple of votes I notice and I would like to add two more.

Cant believe no one has mentioned Bradford.

Ditto, horrible place.

With the countries highest percentage of uninsured drivers. 51%. Make of that what you will. I couldn't possible comment.

Bradford is at the top of my list of places to wipe off the face of the earth with a reasonably sized thermonuclear weapon.

A grim, hateful place with absolutely no charm or redeeming features.

Ironic considering that once upon a time it was one of the wealthiest parts of the UK.

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.

(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

Nah, Graham you've got it all wrong. Reading's fine. Since you left...

Brighton, during the New Labour conference. If I can't specify a time, then London.

Selby.

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 was about to say the same, Selby is quite pleasant compared to goole, my grandparents will visit selby but not goole!

[Rouleur]

Stockport. A worthless, grey, depressed place full of worthless, grey, depressed people.

Corby, Northants.
