Crap towns Page 5

Chatham, Gillingham, Strood, Dover.

Dover. Agreed.

Strood

Should that be Stroud?

No Strood, Kent not Stroud, Gloucestershire. Or is it Worcestershire?

Ah. Ok.

Believe me, Strood is really the highest quality of crap town. It borders on complete shite-hole.

Stroooood!

Heh.

Like Splott in Wales.

One of the mistakes those Crap Towns books make, is the way they dismiss the whole of certain massive towns as being crap, when it's really only a few particular boroughs that deserve criticism.

But that doesn't make quite such a snazzy book proposal.

And not returned I'd imagine.

Dautoliton takes some beating. My wife and I went on 'holiday' there last year. It's one of the most lethally polluted and toxic cities I've ever visited. Our tour guide boasted that birth defects and cancers were all related to our dilapidated hotel. He grinned weirdly as he told us "The death rate in Dautoliton is five times the birth rate." While we were there, the local TV reported strange creatures had been seen in the local river - well, not actually in the river, but floating on the surface - including three-headed frogs and four-legged fish. Needless to say, we never went back.

Where's Dautoliton?

And did the reports stop when you returned home? ;)

Dautoliton Laughing out loud

Britwell?

How the f**k does "good suburb" translate to "Britwell"?!
