Dullest?crappiest towns you've spent time in?...

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

SELLAFIELD (Seascale) any one who has been there will know what I mean

 

[Barnet Seagull]

It's Luton.

 

[krakatoa]

Southampton, Stevanage and Sunderland. Newport Wales, Peterlee, Scunthorpe, and, of course, Crawley.

 

[smudge]

Rosyth.
Lewes.

You're talking out of your arse mate. We've got two KFC's and a discotheque.

And a Poundland.

Moston in Manchester is GRIM. Shops with metal grills on them when they're closed, Joyriders in stolen cars, always pissing it down. I remember leaving one bleak Monday morning in winter after a weekend to see my sister at university and it seemed like a different world when I got home. Went back there a few months ago and the place seems to have got even worse. It's a shame because people are so friendly up there but it's soul-destroying with the miserable, depressing, hopeless area and mass unemployment.

And a Poundland.

Nothing wrong with Poundland. It has some great bargains and I save a lot of money on top brands in the Crawley branch. In fact I do most of my shopping there.

Has to be PRESTON in the 1980's

 

[TS90]

Holyhead - 2 hours was more than enough! Even worse is that the train back to Chester, stopped on request!
Newhaven - The worst place in south east England. Even worse than Margate.

Another vote for Bracknell, The 3M building is the highlight.

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Beastly Eastleigh

Stockport, got stuck there once for 4 hours. Supposed to be changing trains there, the Virgin train I was on was half an hour late, meaning I missed the connection, 4 hour wait.

Thought I'd look around the town, it would have been less boring to just stand on the platform staring at my shoes...


...and they weren't even nice shoes.

Southampton, Stevanage and Sunderland. Newport Wales, Peterlee, Scunthorpe, and, of course, Crawley.

Can't agree with Sunderland. I lived there for a year in the late 80s, great nightlife.

 

[fork me]

Doha closely followed by Athens which is OK for a short visit as a tourist, but once you've done the tourist stuff it's awful.

Athens is crap. Worth a visit for the history, but once you've done that...

 

[arkan]

redhill (lived there for 19 years, went back for the first time in 5 years last week, same grey buildings, same grey faces)
Oldham/Gorton/Whalley Range - Just 'Shameless' in real life
Have to agree with Athens. Within spitting distance of the city centre (Omonia/Syntagma Sq) even during the day you see people f***ed out of their faces lying on the street, or shooting up in plain view of everyone, or nigerian prosititutes right outside city hall, or Afghans/Albanians/Somali's living in the parks or on street corners. And this was more than evident even before whats happened to the country now. I cant imagine what it is like now. And dont even get me started on the Korydallos part of the city, if Athens is an arse, Korydallos is the arse hole.
Herne Bay

True, with St.Leonards.

But that will trigger defensiveness from residents & NSC members.

what are you talking about....Hastings is lovely. We have a nice castle, pier and harbour













....oh wait a minute

 

[krakatoa]

Can't agree with Sunderland. I lived there for a year in the late 80s, great nightlife.

Good people up there, but grim estates and nothing for visitors except the underwhelming Glass Centre. Newcastle's got much more to see.

Lol... I'm from there and the merseyway shopping centre down the hill from the station has ALWAYS been the grimest place on earth! Close to Manchester though which is a fantastic place to be and same distance the other way puts you in the most beautiful part of Cheshire, so swings and roundabouts.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Reading is dull too (was there yesterday) and after the weekend, Liverpool makes its way onto the list

 

[Czechmate]

Legoland !! It's full of plastics
