I was offered a job in Swindon many years ago.
The fact that it was a complete shithole was the deciding factor in me rejecting the offer.

I have also been to Northampton on a course, which is the most dreadfully dreary place I have ever seen. I went 'out' one night, and I swear to god the entire town was shut.

I go to Bournemouth quite often with work, and it's quite nice. As a fucking Northerner, I quite like the seaside.

AltAlt: I'm guessing yes?

I was once in a pub in Stevenage and was told to drink up as they were closing
at 6pm....

At least the pub had been open.
The Northampton ones looked like they hadn't been open since rationing.

Great Yarmouth is like that.
I was in a "restaurant" at about 7pm and the bloke that owned recommended against going out for a drink. Said it was probably safer if I went back to my hotel.

I once played a gig at Sixfields stadium. What a crap-bucket that was.

Walking the 100 yards back to the hotel
I saw two fights and some slag squatting down and having a piss outside a pub. It was still daylight.
