 BBC - collective - the idler book of crap towns
Since coming up with the idea for Crap Towns a couple of years ago, I’ve been labelled in assorted affronted local papers as “cruel”, “tasteless”, “insulting”, “scornful”, “obnoxious”, “greedy” and even “downright rude”.
We’d just had a reasonable amount of success with Crap Jobs, stories from the horrible world of work, and Crap Towns came naturally as a follow-up.
That said, I have to admit that I was slightly alarmed when a few months ago The Western Daily Press put a mugshot of the two of us on their cover and virtually exhorted their readers to exact their revenge.

Funnily enough all three towns I've ever lived in feature in the list - Coventry and Milton K are the other two - and I have to say that people there are dreaming if they think that they could ever compete with Widnes for sheer unremitting soul-crushing hellishness.
I've never lived in a town as bad as some that are decribed here, but yes, there are a few towns where I slipped out the back window on a night of full moon and ran through the briars and brambles just as far as my legs could carry me...
However, to retain an iota of perspective, all crap English towns are pristine, paradaisical pleasure gardens when compared to the single most disgusting town I have ever had the extreme pleasure to catch dysentry in, this being Sonauli on the India-Nepal border.

 durham21 | columns | Home Towns #2: Surrey
In fact, the Home Counties in general hardly conjure up images of exciting individuality, which is why involving them in the attempt to portray myself as an interesting and unusual person when I came to university might, I now realise, have been my downfall.
It was trying to get the back seat on the school bus, rolling up your school skirt and walking the long way to the science block so you could watch the year eleven boys playing football.
To the city-dweller, I concede, Surrey does bare an uncanny resemblance to the countryside and no matter how many times my own and neighbouring towns feature on Crimefighters UK I can’t seem to convince people that it is anything other than wealthy commuter belt and an all-round really quite nice place to live.

And if that seems like a surfeit of erudition and literary pretension for you, there's an ever-expanding section simply entitled "Crap Towns"--which does exactly what it says on the label.
It celebrates the most awful, mundane, truly tedious, miserable towns ever shat into existence.
There are also new sections entitled "Crap Jobs" and "Crap Holidays" and (a personal favorite) a section inspired by the 17th-century Chinese playwright Chin Shengt'an called "Ah, Is This Not Happiness?" in which readers share their experiences of the little Zen-like moments which make life worth living.

The city of Hull was described as the "worst place to live in the UK" in 2003 by the Crap Towns book, so I was curious as to what to expect when I visited it last weekend.
Their appearance made me feel like I was visiting a different country, since unlike the rest of the UK, all the phoneboxes are cream-coloured (although they do not taste like cream).
Posters about lost trawlermen adorned the buses - evidence that Hull is a port town, as well as a fish trail covering the pavements and the Spurn Lightship waiting patiently at the docks.
