This list has absolutely no validity as long as Bracknell isn't in the top 3.

Hold on where's Burnley? - proof that this list is meaningless. A more godforsaken depressing version of hell on earth you'd be hard pushed to find.

What is Edinburgh doing up there? I thought it was alright, felt pretty safe on nights out, nice scenery and friendly people.


How was this poll done?

If it was a more accurate survey, based on crime figues and local amenities hardly any of those places would be there. And Hastings would be somewhere near the top!

Windsor was voted the second worst place to live this time around.

One voter said: "The big thing about Windsor is that its townsfolk believe that by living near the castle they are more or less royalty themselves."
Isn't this about the people being stuck up their own ***** and not the place itself? And who judged this? For example, if this was a Chav's opinion, then anyone will display that kind of better than you attitude towards them!

Yep, chav central but it's not on the top 50 list so it can't be too bad.

There is no way Bristol is worse than Bradford for gods sake. That list was clearly compiled by a dullard!

Question

It's obviously daft: they missed out the obvious choice at No.1, Scunhtorpe,the only town in Britain which is censored by computers! : ), and Mexborough, Conisborough, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham need to be pretty high too.

Of course, if we're into SMALL towns, some of you lot need to visit ............................Stainforth, and no, I don't mean the one in the lakes:

Reffro - definitely.

Alton Towers really ought to be re-named Von Chav Towers - i for one didn't realise how many people like this existed in the UK. Spellbinding viewing.

And for a shamelss bit of cut/pasting regarding Woking...

"Woking! Christ in sh!tty napkins it’s the fetid drippings of the devils ****!
Never has the human gene pool needed sieving so much as the chavtacular pond life that make up this rancid boil of a town which swirls round in it’s own cesspool of Sodom and Gomorrah on the outskirts of the M25.
Once more my friends lets us ride into the breach of Woking town, watch your wallets and look down at the floor. No eye contacts as you’re in Chav country now!
Marvel at the pedestrianised walkway that runs the length of the town centre. Here you can see the ****s in their perfect environment, taking a turn up and down the walkway looking for inadvertent theft opportunities that are the breed's staple diet to support their giros and their constant addiction to sucking from the bleeding teat of government handouts.
Other attractions are the chav hang out of the Big Apple. Not sure exactly what this is, self styled youth attraction or in my view, Septic rancid hook up joint for soon to be pregnant 14 year olds chavettes and there 21 year old leisure suit wearing hooded topped chavs boyfriends, who walk like monkeys who have **** themselves. Either that or they have haemorrhoids as I really can’t see another reason for walking like their John Wayne and yes, he had piles, big time.
Just around the corner you will find Chertsey road. I have mentioned this road in a previous rant, but not the fact that it’s a one way street and perfect for the motorist chav to burn some rubber on in there souped up, or is that fcuked up, Citroen Saxos. Christ knows why they go for these cars, lets face it, they're French! But no doubt in their shadowy world by adding a big boy exhaust and a ‘fat ****** surf shack’ sticker makes it the dog’s bollocks! Instant chavette pre-pubescent pulling power with added unlimited back seat mimsy touching potential!!!!!!!
I would like to end my current rant by paying homage to another of Woking’s great establishments, Chameleons nightclub. If by the word ‘homage’ you think ‘**** take’, you're right. Sitting like a soiled leper on Chertsey road it’s the mermaids call to all Chavs after an evenings drinking in Wetherspoons, and like ships pulled onto the rocks their drawn like moths to a flame. In this case the moths of course being vile pikey/chavs looking for a fight and a kicking in the back or a black Mariah by the local constabulary, and the flame being chameleons, which is essentially a big room with flashing lights and curious smells.
But let's face it, to the chav who’s just drunk 8 pints of wife beater and has had a couple of pills, its ******* heaven. Where all the angels are soft as **** and have just spilt their pint, or have looked at them in a funny way.
Anyway, must go, I’m off to Wetherspoons to get fcuked on Stella………..think I’ll go to chameleons after that, where's me tracksuit? ****, my secret's out!!!!!!

Like anywhere, it's got it's good bits and bad bits....

The centre is fabulous but anywhere that any mortal could actually afford to buy property, could make it a pretty **** area to live in IMHO

Better than Glasgow though....... smiles better

Glasgow is way much better for nights out than Edinburgh, although it's easier to find foreign totty in Edinburgh. Since most Scottish byrds have heard all my cr@p chat-up lines I have to go for the foreigners

Glasgow/Edinburgh city centres are great places, but like any major city some areas are well dodgy. Community spirit in some of the areas in Glasgow/Edinburgh I've ever known has always been very good so I'm very surprised to find them up there.

Personally, I'd have stuck Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester above them.
