Crap Towns[^] Luton finished second in the table. SECOND! How bloody dare they! We are by far and away a far worse place than Hemel Hempstead!

The survey was published in English, which meant 75% of the population of Luton couldn't read it and thus couldn't vote.
They have had to cancel this year's Panto. The Giant couldn't smell the blood of an Englishman.

That was certainly true when I lived in Hemel, but now ...
Use the best guess
Hemel was still green and beautiful as ever when I passed through a couple of months ago. The most ridiculous concentration of speed cameras on ordinary suburban roads I think I've ever seen but it is Hertfordshire so I guess that's to be expected.

The voting was rigged. Where is Crawley?
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

If there sense of ugly is that warped it's probably because they spent too long in Milton Keynes. I wonder if wallpapering the outside of your house with black tar-paper ever really was fashionable, I suspect not. :laugh:

:omg: :wtf: Even the shack my parents keep chickens in is done classier than that. To keep wind from blow through the gaps in the old poorly fitting boards It's wrapped in roll roofing (basically tar paper with gray shingle type gravel pre-attached). :rolleyes:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

So bad it couldn't even rank 1st in bad... Luton, the number two of #2 towns, better luck next year. :^)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I think there are three or four Crawleys in England but none, I'll wager, as bad as the one in West Sussex. That's why it had to be up there in the league table. We wuz robbed. :((

I passed by both this morning and they are as bad as each other. How they were able to distinguish between the 2 is beyond me. Anyway, took a wrong turn (I hasten to add that I wasn't driving) and we ended up heading towards Daventry - possibly worse than either! :-)

Are you sure that was Hemel? Many of the parts above the old town have now been overgrown with houses, and the town itself is not exactly prepossessing.

I must be low on iron(y) again. I'll go and take an iron(y) supplement and try again tomorrow :)

Having visited all but Cumbernauld I can attest to the fact that these are butt ugly towns. I think that Americans can have no real idea of the utter fugliness of streets and streets of 2-up-2-downs in a dismal little town populated by single mothers, welfare claimants and wife beaters. As for the dullest. Probably; depends what you mean by dull, I suppose. Some of those are architecturally and historically quite interesting and one or 2 are beautiful; in particular Maidenhead is gorgeous especially along the river. Okay, not much happens but that doesn't make it dull. Oh, wait...

Hey, that's not fair. Most of them are only wife-beaters on Friday nights, after the pubs close, so they barely even qualify as part-time.
