"Preston!
My parents lived there and my sisters and I used to draw straws on who would visit them. "
well the place is called "de-preston" for a reason... isn't there a bridge across the m6 just outside preston that had the highest suicide rate in the uk.. |

"Places NOT to visit.
Liverpool. Dreary place.
London.
Bristol.
Oldham.
There are others, but can't recall them now!
Are you a bus driver?"
No, but I'd love to be one!
I used to be in Hotel Management and worked around the UK in many jobs, often being sent at short notice to cover manager's illness or holidays at other group properties.

It's difficult to contribute to this thread without insulting one group or another - so I'll risk insulting three groups.
The Three Towns. Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenston. |

. Three Towns joined together by history and having some of the scariest ghettos I've ever been in. I'll add the slate village (forget name) at the end of the railway line from Porthmadog. Grey in SO many ways |

Just on the subject of Coventry.
Does anyone know the truth behind the story of Churchill allegedly sacrificing Coventry to protect Enigma?
I've seen the story quoted in a number of places but there's as many denials.
Anyone actually know?

I used to travel quite a lot in my job and have had some great times in most of the places named in this thread.
I suppose a lot depends on the type of person you are.
I spent the first 38yrs of my life in the black country before moving to Cornwall. Dudley's not so bad, there's some great pubs and what about the rock clubs, JB's and The Robin?
Had some great times in Hull too. There's a great Irish pub called Durty Nelly's, even took Kate there once too. The towns ok now it's been tidied up.

We travel around Britain a lot so..
Hunstanton and Cromer... Ok for the kids in the summer.. But ..
Bradford .. Couldn't find anywhere to eat! So ended up in costa surfing for a meet from Fab
brimingham.. So awful the next time we decided to go we kept going up the M6 to Manchester
Liverpool One.. Oh dear how to drain the soul out of a city centre
Sunderland.. We judge a town by the number of wilkinsons and connexions... This one takes the piss
Worcester.. Exactly where do you people go to eat?
Sheffield. We also hodge it by the number of greggs.. Having four in the same street with two opposite each other takes the piss.
Milton Keynes.. Even the waitrose is shit
In fact there are only two places we like to go and we are shutting up about them..

Barnsley was rough, a desolate windswept post apocalypse landscape.
Seaham has unearthly baron beaches and uninhabitable atmospheric conditions. (Ridley Scott used a Seaham beach for parts of Alien 3 as it looked like another planet)
I once drove through Barrow in Furness but kept my foot firmly on the accelerator. |

How can you spent a week there one afternoon???? lol 
I think the place was so desolate and depressing that one afternoon feels like a week."
That's how I interpreted it too! |

"The Isle of Wight...and Bristol"
Afraid I have to disagree! Bristol is awesome! The fact I get lots of sex every time I go may sway my point of view, but I love the restaurants and pubs too! |
