Britain (or should that be England's) seven worst
 

According to a BBC Radio 4 survey of Brits these are the seven worst locations in Britain. Maybe our Scottish and Welsh friends will be amused that they are all in England...<BR><BR>1. M25 motorway<BR>2. Millennium Dome<BR>3. Blackpool<BR>4. Heathrow Airport<BR>5. Birmingham New Street Station<BR>6. Manchester Arndale Centre<BR>7. Sellafield nuclear plant<BR><BR>

They simply aren't trying (and sellafield is well impressive, if evil).<BR><BR>the worst thing in Britain:<BR><BR>1) The road to the North (turn again!)<BR><BR>2) The Wetherspoon Pub at Victoria Station<BR><BR>3) Peckham High St<BR><BR>4) The North Coast of wales with the endless caravan parks for pov's holidays.<BR><BR>5) The Clock End at Highbury<BR><BR>6) Coventry - all of it.<BR><BR>7) London Zoo<BR><BR>I could go on...

The North Coast of Wales is very beautiful with the mountains of Snowdonia, Abersoch, Portmeirion, Caernarfon and Anglesey just a few of its attractions.<BR><BR>Piccadilly Circus is the worst thing in Britain<BR><BR>

No no no Leicester Square.<BR><BR>Aberdeen Steakhouse anyone?

My seven worst - in no particular order...<BR><BR>1. Cumbernauld. Any town with "What's it called?" as its advertising slogan has a serious problem...<BR><BR>2. Any road in London when you're in a car.<BR><BR>3. Kings Cross and Euston Stations. Prime examples of 1960s/70s architecture at their worst.<BR><BR>4. Glasgow after an Old Firm match.<BR><BR>5. The Birmingham Bullring - now happily demolished.<BR><BR>6. The Jubilee line on the Tube. About as reliable as a Trabant.<BR><BR>7. The Eurostar from London to the Tunnel. Takes about as long to go from Calais to Paris as from London to the tunnel.

Basingstoke<BR>Swindon<BR>Crawley<BR>Wolverhampton <BR>Hull<BR>Streatham<BR>Portsmouth

Slough<BR>Piccadilly circus<BR>Land's end<BR>

I think you will find Kings Cross is a lot older than 60's to 70's. It was there long before that.

Yes but the monstrosity they built in front of it wasn't

Depends what's meant by the worst:<BR><BR>eg 7 most pikey places:<BR><BR>1) Arsenal<BR>2) Skegness<BR>3) Brighton<BR>4) Argos (anywhere; Ditto LIDL Netto etc)<BR>5) The National Express Station in Victoria <BR>6) Mr Byrite<BR>7) The North (all of it)<BR><BR>it would be different if one were looking for minging, munting or downright pov.

Actually, I liked Coventry. I think the way they built the new cathedral (not to my taste) next to the bombed out and very scenic old one was brilliant. There is also a very old and pretty alms house close by. I do vote that Picadilly Circus is awful.

David West,<BR>Unless I have misunderstood what you meant, when you stated, the north(all of it), is amongst Britains 7 worst locations; does this include the likes of Scotland and Yorkshire. If that is what you meant, I find this very difficult to comprehend, maybe you would like to explain yourself.

Personally, I vote for any venue where an Andrew Lloyd Webber muscial is being staged.

pca - thanks for the laugh!

Not the north surely! That's the Peak District, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Moors - the most beautiful areas in Britain. We do have some grotty towns up here - "structurally improved" during the 70s and 80s.<BR>My vote goes to Oxford Circus (all tube exits) Oxford St and Piccadilly Circus.

Nah, all of the north it is.<BR><BR>THe North to me is:<BR><BR>Pound shops<BR>Pikey pubs full of povs and plebs.<BR>White stilletos and bare legs in winter (the girls too).<BR>8 Ace.<BR>Rat boys.<BR>Shellsuits.<BR>bin dippers.<BR>Staggeringly ugly girlybirds, with tattoos absolutely dandoed on hooch or other tart fuel.<BR>Bigg Market.<BR>Whole streets for sale for 2 weeks unemployment benefit.<BR>Babies with earings.<BR>Joyriders.<BR>Geoffrey bloody Boycott.<BR>Brian bloody Blessed.<BR><BR>I could go on.<BR><BR>Admittedly there are a few handkerchief sized places that aren't covered in slag heaps or Lidls that are tolerable to look at.<BR><BR>As Dr Johnston said about the Giants CAuseway "worth seeing? Yes. Worth going to see. No."<BR><BR>Caution: THis post may contain irony.<BR>

1. Bury<BR>2. Boston United<BR>3. Exeter City<BR>4. Southend United<BR>5. Bristol Rovers<BR>6. Macclesfield Town<BR>7. Kidderminster Harriers....<BR><BR>Oh sorry! I thought this was a football question...

Men with earings! It's so 80.

Ah, how differently we see things. For an aviation buff there is no place on earth quite like Heathrow Airport. And a room at the Renaissance Hotel directly across from the main runway is pure Paradise.<BR><BR>GK

David me duck, isn't the Giant's Causeway in Ireland? Mek oop thaa mind, lad.<BR>
