Following on from the where you'd like to live. For me it is between Rotherham, Birmingham and Luton where I would wake up draw the curtains then close the curtains.

any major population centre. give me fresh air and peace any day.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 11:21 am**

Minnie surely you wouldn't consider living on Ewood Park ?

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 11:46 am**

In fairness, Minnie did say 'fresh air'...

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 11:50 am**

Luton.

Inner London.

Dirty, smelly, polluted, expensive, violent, noisy .....

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:34 pm**

Glad I don't live in Workington. A real forgotton corner of dereliction. Admittedly it's been 2006 since I was last there, but nothing had changed between then and the previous visit... Only saving grace is that it isn't far from a number of scenic spots (without actually being so itself)...

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:55 pm**

I lived in Central London for 7 years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However, at the end of any day, when I would blow my nose it was noticeable just how much dirt I had breathed in during the day. (I tried to phrase that so as not to disgust)

Cumbria or Nofolk.

Nice places, especially in the countryside. But too isolated and would get easily bored as much as I love the great outdoors. Somewhere in between city, coast and countryside but near the hills. Which kind of describes Burnley. Maybe I should feel more blessed to live here than I do.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:59 pm**

Central London is great. Not for everyone but I love it. Its no more violent than anywhere else. In fact I dont think I have ever seen any violence there!? (Notwithstanding the terrorist stuff but thats not a London thing per se).

I'm not a country person at all so anywhere too rural would immediately be on the list of places I'd avoid. Regarding built up areas, I think Croxteth is arguably the roughest place I've ever been so I'll nominate there.

Lived in the Langworthy Rd area of Salford in the mid 90s. It was a horrible place.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:30 pm**

Shadwell, East London
Billingham, Teesside
Handsworth, Birmingham

Places that shock you when you visit

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:43 pm**

Aldershot.. the bumhole of England.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:48 pm**

Anywhere south of here. I'm happy in North Yorkshire, but if I was forced to move it would have to be further north.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:54 pm**

Nelson - far removed from the nice place it was when I lived there - left in 77

Had a customer there a few years ago. It was like 1980s belfast!

Too many to mention but the same applies to places in the UK I would enjoy living in.

Shadsworth.

Ugh.

You are right mate. I have Lived in Birmingham for 18 years. It is a proper sh#t hole. Just check this link out. You would never get out of bed never mind close the curtains if you moved here.

Any area where their is a large immigrant population. These places tend to be ghettos

Dungeness in Kent is a truly weird place populated by odd balls - one of its bright spots is its own nuclear power station. Sheerness in Kent is possibly slightly worse. Check 'em out on the internet to see how bizarre they are.

Next door to ablueclaret or KRBFC

You do realise that is contradicting the bold type with picture examples.

Yes mate. I was being ironic. Birmingham is a great place to live. Very under rated and has transformed itself over the last 15 years.

Bradford.

The biggest shithole I think I've ever had the misfortune of driving through.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:30 pm**

Can't believe nobody has said Blackburn.

Apart from the obvious reasons it's also an incredible grim place. Makes Burnley look like Richmond in a lot of areas.

Burnley. Surprised it's taken so many replies before somebody said it.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 7:19 pm**

Clacton-on-Sea as it is obviously full of a lot of morons

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:21 pm**

Nobody lives in Clacton, they just exist.

Any UK city, East anglia, the southeast and a lot of towns in the northwest all beginning with B.

Saltaires in the borough of bradford....I love the place.

Dungeness? Who wouldn't want to live in a converted railway carriage with a toy train service with all those nice pubs not too far away to the west?

There's far worse places even in Kent. Gravesend. Penge. Ramsgate. All the Londony bits.

For me: bargoed, abertysswg, London, Calais, USA.saffron Walden, most of Essex west of Colchester birmingham
