[Misc] Places you have lived in , you would never go back to.

Tunbridge Wells. I go back to see the folks, but every time I go back something else has been dicked about with to "uphold the values of the town". They went MENTAL when they dared open a poundland a year or so ago. It's horrific, everything shuts early, public transport included, it's overpriced and the level of bellendery in the driving is frightening. The Highway Code goes out of the window to be replaced by "my car is more expensive than yours, so fark orff". Hate the deluded, snobby arrogance of the whole place.

I'll get off the fence now.....

Isn't there going to be a new cinema / shopping complex to be built?

KKMC, Qaisumah Desert NE province Saudi Arabia where a truck on the horizon gave you a bit of excitement.

That's got East Anglia written all over it

Bideford s*** school and full of those with six fingers.

You'll get carpeted for that.

The Factory employed about 30% of the town workforce back in the 80s I think. The rest were mostly farmers it seemed.

 

[daveinprague]

What were you doing out there, if I may ask? Organising attacks against the Ottomans?

Working as a civilian radio operator for US military.
My boss was a Ranger Captain. Never found out what he did wrong to get that posting, despite asking plenty of times!.

Finsbury Park or Bethnal Green, too many black people.

 

[Merdalfthewizard]

Milton Keynes, Battersea and Bedford, not neccesarily in that order

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Was forgetting Coldean as a student.

 

[Trufflehound]

Splott.

It's part of Cardiff for those that don't know it. And those that don't know it should consider themselves fortunate.

With a couple of exceptions, this thread reads like a shit tour of England. There must be a travel book in this....
Oh and i'd like to add Yeovil, Newport Pagnell and Hertfordshire( Hertford especially)

Can I put forward:

Northwich, gives the lie to the myth of leafy bucolic Cheshire, Alderley Edge it ain't.

Coventry, no wonder the Germans bombed it.

Harlow, worse than Crawley.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Portsmouth

Croydon

London[/QUOTE
It's a big city. You would never go back there?

 

[BN9 BHA]

Whitehawk.
I've been to Whitehawk FC loads of times but it's not really on the estate.
It didn't mind living there at the time but I have no reason to go back to the actual estate now.

I'm with you on Coventry. Ghastly place. I used to live in Leamington Spa and frequented Coventry far too many times for my liking. Ghastly ringroad, rubbish shopping centre and crappy football team. Nothing to recommend the place at all!!!

Thornton Heath , East Croydon and South Croydon .

In no particular order Llandrindodd Wells,Cramlington,Blyth,Stevenage and Luton .Never lived there full time,but spent up to a year staying in these places for work.

I stayed in Llandod for a few days - phoned my gf when walking from the hotel to try and find somewhere to eat and realised that in the 5 minutes it took, I didn't see one single person. At 7:00 at night. Nice curry house with the rudest waiter I have ever met.

Oh and Ore. Got us on the property ladder with a cheap new build which went up £60000 in a couple of years and allowed us to move out. That's the only nice thing I can say about it. Driving back one night, I had to stop and let someone know that the bush in their garden had been set alight. (Not a euphemism)

 

[Beach Hut]

Erdington which was just crap like most of Birmingham, the residents were also depressing

Worked in Llandrindod for a few years but deliberately chose to live as far away as possible. Calling the place insular would be an understatement.

Any where I have had a pub as that episode of my life has passed having had good times in most but they would never be the same if I went back there to live. I would consider Munster in Germany where I served in the army.
