Wolverhampton voted fifth worst city in the world

[Humbug]

Didn’t read the main topic as it’s too long and my eyes can’t focus that long but my point is, Wolverhampton isn’t a city, Wolverhampton comes under Birmingham surly or am I missing something?

Isn't it one of the new cities? Like us?

Indeed it is, I just hope Rosyth never becomes one!

Maybe your right, I haven't looked it up so guess your right.

I suspect the stupid accent the locals have to use has a lot to do with their ranking.

But, yes, Stoke should be in there.

I can't believe they would rank LA worse than Flint, Michigan. They probably sent someone to check out Flint but he or she got eaten by a starving local before they could check in.

It's al pretty much subjective..

First of all I wonder how Lonely Planet came to conclude that these were the worst 10 cities. Some of them made it onto this list of 80. Did they consider all the world's cities?

Basingstoke; Hull; Stockport; Nottingham; York;

Nottingham and York are great places.

I was thinking Pripyat (Chernobyl) but believe it's uninhabitable - so can it still be classed as a city?

I notice Bhopal is not amongst either list so has that now become a clean city.

1.Detroit,
2. Accra,
3. Seoul,
4.Los Angeles,
5.Wolverhampton,
6.San Salvador,
7.Chennai,
8.Arusha,
9.Chetumal.

What a rubbish list. There are worse cities in the UK than Wolves. There are also worse cities in India than Chennai, and worse cities in the US than LA (though it is a shithole)

Load of f***ing shit from the feminist paper with racial hatred towards ethnically groups and men.

I'll take your Flint and raise you a Newark, the nastiest place I have ever seen apart from maybe Manila although that's only the suburbs.

I'll take your Newark and raise you a Managua.

Can't see the logic in this, a number of UK cities worse that Wolver'ampton!
How the **** is Arusha a city, its about the size of Worthing, if that. Nairobi, now that really is a hole!
Chennai certainly ain't that bad either, compared to many places in India!!
Sao Paulo, that is quite grim.

Think you may have trumped me there !

As a Brightonian first and last, I wouyld still like to say that having lived in the Midlands now for 30 odd years - I love the Black Country, the people and the unassuming nature of the place. Pretty it isn't, but down to earth it is - and the accent (which incidentally is not Brummie - is wonderful. Coventry ditto.
Stoke on Trent is worse - but I like that place too.
If you want somewhere really shite - what about Liverpool or Newcastle and their over-rated self-importance.

Keep taking the pills.

Keep taking the pills.

I think he has, too much acid.

LA 4th - downtown LA is a do-go zone after dark, but by day it isn't all that bad.

Having lived there for 23 years, I could list some faults. Yeah, downtown is well dodgy after the business day is done, and you wouldn't really 'hang out' in Compton or Watts, but it's a huge sprawl that has a lot of good places too.

Oakland is worse, even if within a stone's throw of the marvelous San Francisco.
