I wouldn't say there was nothing wrong with sittingbourne town centre, it's great if you want a charity shop plenty of them, it is pretty lacking in choice of shops you couldn't realistically go Christmas shopping or clothes shopping but it's ok if you just need a couple of things. Agree sheerness is the pits.adamtheaddick said:nowt wrong with sittingbourne town centre will be tearing it up there sat night ska band and footy in the red lion till 11 then into ssc for the 80s night till 4am.. after living in charlton and plumstead for 30 years sittingbourne is fecking awsome yes there are some wronguns but in nearly 2 years now ive had no bother at all when out on the lash. sheerness i may add tho is borderline third world....

I keep dipping back into this thread to see the latest contributions and when new nominees pop into my head.
How could I possibly have forgotten Birkenhead? This town seems like it's Huyton's penal colony. Pond life doesn't come into it!

I'd go for Corby, Aldershot & Redhill. (Not been to Crawley). Honorable mention to Illfracombe in the Winter.0

Seriously, go! It really will astound you! A place of utter despair and depression.thewolfboy said:I'd go for Corby, Aldershot & Redhill. (Not been to Crawley). Honorable mention to Illfracombe in the Winter.
PS: make sure you take your Prozac with you!
PPS: if you stay overnight choose the Arora Hotel. At least the Emirates Airline Air Hostesses will help relieve the monotony.

We feel cheated, Bazjonster. You began this this thread with a scathing demolition of Crawley, inviting us to do our worst. After our arduous tour of the delights of Gravesend, Skelmersdale, Cumbernauld and Scunthorpe, we have returned to find that you trapped off with an air hostess in a hotel in Crawley, after all.bazjonster said:

I willingly passed through Erith earlier. It was sunny and warm. I had to walk through a couple of delightfully sketchy underpasses to reach the bus stop. The river sparkled in the heat. The hills of Inner Essex loomed beyond. I was charmed, I must confess.0

VF, I wish mate! I meant purely from a passive perspective, as I seedily sat in the bar pretending to be interested in England v Equador! It's the little red hats that do it for me - not to mention the red matching undergarments!Viewfinder said:

Flying out of Gatwick tomorrow and spending the night in Crawley. Been here before with previous employment, but after just walking through the 'town centre' back to the hotel, is there a comparable place in England? It's truly shocking and is down there with the likes of a Brentwood, Bracknell, Thetford or Redruth!0

Newport, Wales.
An excellent town centre to study the various ravages caused by each and every drug available to human kind.
It's almost like they are arranged, with each successive shop doorway displaying increasingly devastating effects of increasingly powerful chemicals.
For the full effect pass by after 6pm skipping over the rivers of piss trailing from each doorway to the gutter.

Coventry. Fuck all there - bulldoze the lot of it and no one would notice.1

Hemel Hempstead. The only thing worse than that town centre is the people in it.0

I'm from Redhill he is spot on! Reigate is lovelyLeroy Ambrose said:Crawley is utterly grim, no doubt - but it pales into insignificance when compared with Redhill. Absolute shithole of a place - topped off nicely by the stench of the landfill just up the road. Reigate is 2 miles up the road - but when I lived there it was like living on a different planet.

For its architecture alone Coventry should be nowhere near this list

Brentwood! You are comparing Brentwood to Crawley?bazjonster said:Flying out of Gatwick tomorrow and spending the night in Crawley.

Ignoring shitholes here in London Boroughs (of which there are many):
Stoke-on-Trent (either Hanley or the 'Stoke' bit). You can just feel the deprivation and hopelessness in the air - thoroughly depressing on every level.
Sheerness and East Kilbride have exactly the same air of hopelessness and decay, but on a far smaller scale, obviously.
Honourable mentions to Coventry, Newport, Scunthorpe and Paisley.0 -
Having relatives in Paisley, this never fails to make me laugh. Great series.boggzy said:Ignoring shitholes here in London Boroughs (of which there are many):
