Off Topic Towns and Cities in UK you wouldn't normally visit ..

I quite like Victorian Industrial architecture, and someone I know visited Ironbridge for work, and suggested it's worth a look in if I'm passing. I've yet to have reason to though.

 

Are you Alan Partridge?

 

I reckon there's something decent or of interest almost wherever you find yourself. The acid test is how decent, how interesting and would you go back. I had to stay over in Boston (Lincs) for work a few years ago, bit of a dump but I found one pub which was ok and went there every visit. The work stopped and I've not been back since and probably never will.

 

Exeter
Really enjoyed it there
Towns
Barnstaple Biddeford etc
All lovely
It’s Devon innit

 

Wisbeach when working there I went into a pub and straight away this guy comes over and says to me “do want fight “ I replied “sorry have I done anything to offend you “, he said no not at all I just wandered if you wanted a fight

 

I went to Morecambe once, it was closed.

 

Agreed weird place Wisbech
This old boy means a young kid !!

 

I quite enjoyed my visit to Swansea. To be truthful It might have something to do with the 10 pubs on Wind Street.

 

Sounds about right for Luton. I had a similar experience when I made a short visit to Peckham, SE London The receptionist said when you leave the hotel don't turn right, it's too dangerous. We ended up in a restaurant next door to the hotel and returned under the cover of darkness.

 

When I stayed at a hotel in Johannesburg, the hotel security man insisted he had to accompany me to and from the shop during darkness.

 

There's nothing wrong with Aberdeen or Dundee in my opinion. Both are decent places for a short stay but there wasn't a great deal going off when I was there. I'd give the vote to Aberdeen though because on my visits there the high street had 4/5 bookies. It's bad when you have to grade a place on this basis, I know, but there you go.

 

Dundee is fine if golf and cake are your things

 

Or Marmalade

 

Or The Beano.

 

Or the history of jute.

 

Wasn't that a Beatles song Hey Jute?

 

Drayton Manor Park?

Lots of leading engineering companies too.

 

Or adhesive postage stamps

 

Not a wise thing to do.

 

Was it for a City cup game?
Residential care by the sea was my impression of the place...
