i spent the first 19 years of my life here and, although i have a certain fondness for the (shit) football team, fantastic accent etc, it really is a horrible horrible horrible place with very little prospect of ever becoming less horrible.

on the plus side, it is very easy to get out of.

it's not the worst place. night life is pretty non-existent though.

is the worst place i have ever been. I hated it so much I got back in the car and drove straight back to Bristol.

Luton is pretty shit but at least it is near good stuff and well connected. Same with Wolverhampton.

At least it punches above it's weight, music wise.

i thought it was like a smaller version of Manchester, and the people i met were all really nice. Definitely nicer than Glasgow, i'd say.

it looked like the most depressing place on earth. i remember them following some girl around and her whole story was she was up the duff, and applying for a council flat. i think she got a job in a chippy in the end. i want to live somewhere like that, i think it would be an easy place to hit rock bottom. imagine living somewhere where everyone was a complete loser?

including an attractive girl that I rented a flat from did the same course at Uni I did.

They profess it is a shit hole.

at least you didn't grow up there :'(

full of tossers. but you already knew that.

Seriously, this place is a DUMP.

They had this great advert once on the 321 bus, which went something like "enjoy Watford's brilliant shopping facilities, St. Albans' magnificent history, and Luton's large Arndale centre." It's almost as if they couldn't morally bring themselves to use a positive adjective in conjunction with Luton...

Slough. Almost went to uni in Luton. So glad I didn't.

I'm from round and about Luton, and there's nothing wrong with it at all. Like all towns, just gotta be in the right place.

Cheap to buy there too, because everyone's just so god damn snobby about the place.

Peterborough
Hull

to the alleged 'posh'

my woodhouse local shop smells of dogs because the owner does in fact let his dogs run around in it.

how do you think i feel! its hell

gloucester bloody park. lots of half naked chavs. not good.

Or was that Crap Towns 2?

Portsmouth is a shit-hole too though.

is a toss-palace

than Selby, surely?

you can get a house there for 60k :P lol

ooooooooo

has a venue called the underground though...which i spent some of the best days of my life at...but yeah on the whole i abhor stoke

for a year and saw Biffy Clyro just before Vertigo of Bliss, and some shite bands but there was a pub called the Talbot where they'd have the most random line-ups, I saw some Swedish metalcore band play with a solo folkstress and a guy who looked like Andrew WK shouting at some electronic equipment. And Caretaker played there one time.

Stoke was shit though.

utter shite
