4-Glasgow and Edinburgh
WTF are those two doing in the same sentance let alone the same position in the same poll????? Glasgow has its good point and bad points as does Edinburgh but I think if you you look at the two cities objectively Glasgow is approximatly 60% total sh!tehole compared to about 10% of Edinburgh! How the hell either of them are on a UK list is beyond me given how utterly disgusting some of the places I've seen down south are

can't believe that Slough has crawled out otf the bottom 50!
Surely nothing to do with 'Office' fame?

Nice to see my hometown of Southampton didn't make the 50. Surprised Leeds only made 45, I work there nowadays and someone at work gets their car broken into every day (just to clarify - not the same person! ).. Had my chrome dustcaps nicked friday. Chavvy sods, it doesn't get much sadder than that. Christ they're only a couple of quid a set!

About 10 miles to the West of London on the M4. You can't miss it.

Nothing wrong with Luton, I've been here for ages. Of course it helps when you live in the best part of town . You want to see proper ****e places take a trip to Halewood in Liverpool or Scarborough.

Luton has a vibrant multi-cultural community
ABBREVIATION:Latin quod erat demonstrandum (which was to be demonstrated)
or as they say up norf, "there you go".

Coventry should easily qualify in the world's top ten.

I think the reason that these are crap is that the native males wear frocks!!

Its the women that are cheesed off, need some good English blokes who are men!

ah, you must live near me then Vaughn

gotta agree though....some 'run down' areas in Luton but nowhere I feel particularly unsafe - unlike some bits of Manchester and Liverpool

WTF where's Wolverhampton???, it's the arm pit of the UK.

Wolvo is by far the crapest place on the face of the earth never mind just the UK, it's a total hole. Ahhhh, It's probably because Wolverhampton is on a whole different level of sh!tness, ranking along with the Baghdad's and Fallujah's of the world.

Default Cov= Hole!

If this was last year i would have told anyone slating Cov to **** off as i've lived there all my life.

However been out the country and returned on 3 occasions in a year and its made me realise the place is a hole i really can't believe how bad its become.
Just to top off my view it is now chav central, returned in july, first night back nice nite out with the missus, grabbed a kebab, trying to flag a taxi when chavmobile pulled up and 2 lads got out and proceeded to weeve my head into the pavement in full view of my other half, then threatened to do the same to her...no idea who they were and was thoroughtly pissed not for my injuries, but the fact w*nkers like this can threaten to do that to a girl. Never been in a fight in my life until getting that kicking and have a nice permenant scar on my head to remind me... thanks a*seholes!!

Can't tell you how glad i am to be out of it.. shame I still have loads of family and friends there.

And given that Glasgow & Edinburgh are ranked as one, I would suggest the poll was mainly English.....

Well seeing there is nowhere in Wales on there...I'd say it was done by the Welsh

(except Cardiff somewhere at the bottom)

And everyone from Luton avoids Duncetable at all costs too. Not only is every other shop boarded up, but the traffic is unbelievable.

I live off the OBR in Wardown, Cold Turkey.

I live in Stockton and it isn't that bad. I work in Middlesbrough and I see more chavs with their tracksuit bottoms tucked into their socks than I do in Stockton . I agree with Hartlepool though.
