  Hull. I know they're trying to regenerate it at the moment, but what a hole it is!

  Maybe Pontypridd, although it was years ago - is it any better now?

  Swindon takes some beating - God-forsaken place that it is.
  
  And Jaywick is a complete dump.

  Harwich. Is. Rank.
  
  Another place that seems to halt buildings projects mid-way through and just leave it for years.

  I was born there, but we moved to Wales when I was two. Kinda depressing going back there now. It's pretty bad.

  Plenty of districts in London boroughs - Brixton, Hackney, Walthamstow, Croydon, Feltham, Hounslow, Upton Park, Peckham (probably the worst of the lot).
  
  Outside the capital (just) Slough is awful.
  
  Sheerness in Kent deserves a dishonourable mention for being, to paraphrase Morrissey, the seaside town they forgot to close down. It's full of dispirited, unemployed chavs shuffling around in tracksuits like zombies wondering why they were ever born while the buildings around them decay and crumble and the last, misguided tourist leaves hastily as an endless line of heavy goods vehicles slowly snakes its way up the solitary road to the mainland, belching out exhaust fumes on the way to the ugly docks, the only source of employment in this corner of the godforsaken Isle of Sheppey.

  It was a dive. In my opinion of course.

  Peterhead, the fishing port. Absolutely dire place.

  Wolverhampton - the only place where an earthquake caused £1million worth of improvements
  
  Blaenau Ffestiniog - just dire and depressing
  
  Grimsby
  
  Rotherham

  Porth in the Rhondda Valley is run down, rough and ugly ugly ugly. People are nice though!

  Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, ugh Mexborough. Pretty much all of South Yorkshire is the toilet of the country.
  
  In addition, most of East Lancashire but especially Burnley and Blackburn, and the "somewhat" inbred towns of Todmodern, Bacup and Rawtenstall. Blackpool isn't much cop either.
  
  Now I think about it, Dundee is just awful but worse than that is the eyesore that is Cumbernauld. Actually most urban areas in Scotland and Northern England are horrendous.

  Blackpool, without a doubt.
  
  Wisbech is a strange town too.

  Haha. I wish. You can still see the Montgomery sticking out of the water at low tide. It serves as a reminder to the residents that if you don't keep moving you'll be stuck there forever, half drowned in sh*t.
