nsr Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Has Fleetwood been mentioned yet? Accidentally spent a day there on holiday a few years ago. Wandered around for ages looking for something, *anything* to do. Sod all apart from an inexplicably-located "designer village" of overpriced shops a little outside the town boundaries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Having lived in NE England for a good few years now I'll add my voice to those nominating Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Whitley Bay (although WB has allegedly been spruced up a bit in recent times). I'll also mention North Shields. If you think South Shields is bad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahid khan Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Most of my suggestions to put forward have been mentioned already. Only places I can nominate that hasn't been mentioned yet, I don't think, is Bridlington and Rhyl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed but anywhere which embraces the use of "Strand" shouldn't be quite as unremittingly bleak as it is when the reality strikes you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Desmond Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 A few years ago I had to go to a place called Hattersley, just outside Manchester. Its big claim to fame is that Myra Hindley lived there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I taught in Barking in East London for 4 years, and these are all things that happened within 100 yards of my classroom in that time: People shagging in broad daylight within view of the class. People sh*tting in broad daylight within view of the class. People shooting up within view of the class. All the cars in the staff car park being broken into. Several mass brawls with weapons. A rape A murder A serial killer dumping his victims' bodies. It still wasn't as grim as Blackpool though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Here's a handy guide to the nice parts of the UK (excluding Scotland). I’m not having it. To name just a few places: That map includes Brixton where the term “eat your kids” originated and Millwall and where they recently filmed the remake of the film Towering Inferno. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Actually add anywhere in and around Merseyside. Permanently angry criminals with an awful accent thrown in. To be fair to Merseyside, there are a lot of very nice towns & villages around here. Where it is shit it is spectacularly world class shit however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugna Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well, this thread has been an interesting exchange of opinions, but our posho betters have now clarified things with a definitive answer. Albeit a stupifyingly arrogant one. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/10/10/northern-ireland-burden-rest-uk-cant-let-get-way-brexit/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this might explain why. Still living in your head rent free. Nice. Some great shouts already. Middlesbrough, whilst I like the place, is a dump. Some lovely areas nearby that I’d live in though. Hull, Blackpool & Barnsley are all dreadful. The Tower Hamlets suggestion is a weird one. There are shocking bits, but it also covers Canary Wharf and some surrounding areas that are far from shite so it’s a really mixed bag. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like lookinng at it from a distance though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
