02 Oct 03 - 02:45 AM (#1027753) Subject: BS: Hull 9 Top again From: Roger the Skiffler Today's UK press has results of a poll from people who think their home town is crap. Hull comes top! Strangely, Bracknell isn't in the top 50, though Ascot is 21st. I'm proud to say my own birth City of a Thousand Trades isn't there either. RtS |

I'm amazed that my current locale, Stockport, only makes number 12. It's a terrible place. Bits of the outskirts are OK (Marple is nice), but the town centre is horrible. |
