    But my favourite is this one on Rotherham:

    After a year of reading headlines in the Rotherham Advertiser like ‘Chip Pan Fire Guts House’, ‘Body found outside Takeaway’ and ‘Asbo Grandad at it again’ I decided I somehow didn’t fit in and moved away.

    Rochdale is the worst I've seen. I once got told to ****off on a development up there that we were consulting on, by a woman having a **** behind the monarflex on the scaffolding.

    The whole country is pretty **** really, let's be honest. The natives are mostly a barbaric lot, and little seems to have changed in over 2000 years...

    They tattoo their bodies with various patterns and pictures of all sorts of animals. Hence the reason why they do not wear clothes, so as not to cover the pictures on their bodies. They are very fierce and dangerous fighters.

    Because of the thick mist which rises from the marshes, the atmosphere in this place is always gloomy.

    Sounds like a day on the beach at Cleethorpes.

    I wonder how much public money has ended up being inadvertently invested in really **** ink? Sounds like a Daily Mail expose in the making that <laugh>

    Stoke-On-Trent is pretty ****ing grim, a grey industrial wasteland.
    As is Northampton, full of smack heads.

    Stoke is full of inbreds, and it’s the land that time forgot. I used to hate going to aways at Stoke, truly grim experience.

    Basically any city or built up area - particularly the big northern cities.

    Birmingham can be quite grim.

    To be honest London can be horrendous too - has both extremes.

    My father once told me to stay away from Barrow-in-Furnace and that I should be aware of even 10 year old's because they're rough as **** and will try anything.

    You can buy a flat in Barrow for £20k and get a 20% yield.

    Hinckley is a total ****hole a combined IQ of a lemon. Ironically the home of Triumph.

    Weston-Super-Mare at one point had the highest teenage pregnancy rate, highest number of smack heads to population and most drug rehab places per person or something. My mate lived there and told me there was once a headline in their local paper "17 year old dies of overdose, leaves 2 kids behind"

    But you won't see any of it because you would have been murdered by then!

    BAE Systems are a major player up there. Lots of tenants. Just an epic ****hole.

    I wouldn’t want to live in either Oxfordshire village: Great Coxwell or Little Coxwell. Lovely places but imagine having to say your address out loud.

    Not keen on the Shropshire village of Knockin either. One guess as to what the retail outlet in that place is called.
