Big news is that Slough is much better than days gone by - still a worthy contender though |

Andover is just a cultural vacuum for mine. It has no redeeming features whatsoever. At least Amazingstoke has a few decent shops and a bit of greenery. |

Interesting to hear about Wisbech. Seemed alright last time I was there. Must have gone downhill pretty quickly.

Whilst it does have a lot of undesirable areas, the town centre has always struck me as relatively reasonable. Particularly since the development of Festival Place, which has made it a lot better than it used to be. |

Anyone who's ever had to go through Accrington will know how dire a place that is.

Yeah, but there was a ripper bird who served me at a bakery for my couple of days there. And as far as 'Spoons pubs go, wasn't the worst.
Spent most of my time there reading books from the charity shop though. |

Went to Southend the other week, admittedly I did not see the town itself which may be perfectly charming but my god the area around the ground.... |

Most of the areas around football grounds tend to be absolute dumps in my experience.
