Crap towns? What about the Utterley Crap Towns

The old faithful Crap Town of Britain rears its ugly head again. Check out the link:

Number 3 is Chipping Norton, where I don't live.Talk about crap towns - what a crap article. Chipping Norton's a lovely little Cotswold town, set in great countryside. The "Chippie set " is a media creation, and they don't ever go there anyway. London's a great international city, not a "crap town".

Newport,Gwent. Get your passport renewed as quick as you can, and get out.
 If you want utter-crap, go to Port Glasgow, Irvine, Cowdenbeath, Paisley, Newport (Gwent), Peterhead, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhyl, Crawley, Dover, Gillingham, Rochester, Dymchurch, Luton. Don't deny the good people who live in these monuments to mediocrity, their glorious moment in the sun. It takes years of careful nuture, fabulous political leadership, far sighted, visionary developers, and honest-as-the-day-is-long  planning committees, to delivery this kind of quality. I know, I've been to them all and left at high speed.
The best view is from your rear view mirror.
