    Only because it’s been allowed to descend into a drug infested cesspit. Bit like the UK in general.

    I just think Blackpool is a soulless theme park. It's not quaint like Whitby or has the atmosphere you get in Scarborough.

    Good choice. Definitely a doghole. Had a few escapades with the locals there.

    I was going to nominate there. At the end of the longest cul de sac in Britain. The High Street is Greggs / charity shop / closed shop / Poundland / closed shop / repeat. On the upside (!), a few years ago it was about £50k for a terraced house, if you actually wanted to live in the town.

    Most of Rhyl I've ever seen is that indoor Water Park (which has probably closed now) during a school trip to Llandudno.

    That reminds me of when we would get the ferry from the Isle of Man to Heysham, (Morecambe was the place to go for a stag do ;) we always stopped for lunch at the Duke of Rothesay, which is affectionately known as "The Nuclear Arms" for its scenic views of the local nuclear power stations

    I live 20 minutes from Rhyl. Was brill when I was at college, as instead of attending lectures, we would go and spend the day at the fair or in the arcades.

    Went downhill once the fair closed (plus of course I was older and viewed things differently :) ). They have revitalised the sea front which does look nice, but the rest of the town is depressing

    Its about 200 yards from the ferry terminal in Heysham, so after 4 hours of drinking on the ferry, obviously the first thing a group of lads do on a stag do, is hit the nearest pub for more drink :emoticon-0105-wink:

    To be honest given the news in the last 24 hours, I think I would avoid it too ;)

    Disturbing’ naked cyclists in Prestatyn and Rhyl stun residents

    Better than Wakefield and Bradford.

    Wakefield Council built a new pool with **** all parking and left the old one. Local College ended up buying it.

    Bradford Council closed one pool down and left it to rack and ruins. I got a mate who works for Bradford Council and he's said it's basically crumbling.
