This is a question Rubbish Towns

I once went to Basildon. It was closed, I got chased by a bunch of knuckle-dragged yobs until I was lost in a maze of concrete alleyways and got food poisoning off pie. Tell us about the awful places you've visited or have your home.

Thanks to SpankyHanky for the suggestion

That's a shame...
Not been back for a while, but it used to be my favourite English city.

Leeds rocks
Leeds has changed almost beyond recognition, If any of yous are young enough to remember in the 80's Thatcher's lot devised a scheme whereby towns and cities would invest money to promote themselves in a positive manner to attract government funding grants, those that were successful were duly granted money which led to investment and incentives for big businesses, Leeds was successful and sold some of it's soul for the right to house a good few national organisations head offices such as NHS to name but one,

The changes wrought by this are not however all bad since in 1986 merely walking in the city centre on a Friday night round about the city square area could earn you a glassing and a trip to A+E for stitching up, It has become a more civilised and pleasent place, attracting as it does approx 50,000 university students per year and the revenue they bring...

Lots of really cool venues such as the Duchess of york and queens hall have gone has have some really nice bars and restaurants, but such is progress..

so unless you have a real historical perspective on the city you are not qualified to say shite all about it

so not all bad despite out of towners casting aspersions!

I thank you.. goodnight
