The rest has been decimated by a red brick shopping centre and various out-of-town superstores.

isPermaLink="false">http://idler.co.uk/yatton/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Yatton is near Bristol, off the A370 on the way to Weston-Super-Mare (which is itself bound to feature on the crapmap sooner or later). In Yatton, the bones of children do not grow properly. A typical teenager will appear to have rickets and something odd about the skull. Often the dome of the head will [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/yatton/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Yarm</title><link>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/yarm/</link> <comments>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/yarm/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2005 14:41:23 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Crap Towns]]></category> <guid

Yarm is the worst sort of town: a whited sepulchre. Superficially, it appears an attractive market town in the industrial wasteland of Teesside. However, spending any amount of time there one will discover that [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/yarm/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Wrexham</title><link>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/wrexham/</link> <comments>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/wrexham/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2005 14:41:09 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Crap Towns]]></category> <guid

Wrexham is the proud owner of a football club, and nothing else whatsoever, since the brewery closed- it produced Wrexham Lager, &#8220;The ONLY Welsh lager&#8221;, which, unsurprisingly, was not popular in the country of Cery&#8217;s Matthew&#8217;s birth because it was only about 3% ABV.

However, the council knocked it down in the 90s. Now its most attractive feature is an orbital dual carriageway so impossibly difficult to negotiate [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/wolverhampton/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Woking</title><link>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/woking/</link> <comments>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/woking/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2005 14:40:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Crap Towns]]></category> <guid

You can imagine for yourself how exciting it is to spend time there. I fucking hate the place.

Any character disappeared from the town centre when the high street received the chain store make-over, house-prices are exorbitant and cater exclusively for well-heeled London-employed family-builders seeking old England, and the countryside has been hewn by Maggie&#8217;s M3 [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/winchester/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Wigan</title><link>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/wigan/</link> <comments>http://idler.co.uk/crap-towns/wigan/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2005 14:39:24 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Crap Towns]]></category> <guid

The nightlife is great; both cabaret AND bingo all on the same night, but only in the classier social clubs.
