Why not list nicest but least known places. Imagine living in one of the towns listed as worst and reading this thread.. First and last look at this forum.

Pirans day! Good to see the flag, pint of proper job clone to celebrate, though not quite there yet. Plymouth was rough 30 yrs ago when I lived there, as was Middlesbrough, both towns took a kicking from recessions, people were great though on the whole. Most unfriendly place lived has to be London though.I see Plymouth is 44th on the list (i think). Perhaps 30 years ago that would be right, Plymouth is a nice city now, the university has done wonders for it's redevelopment. The rough areas down Union Street have largely gone and it's a decent place to visit with it's Aquarium, history, proximity to Dartmoor etc. It's one big selling point of course is that it's just across the water from Cornwall!

Seeing as @pauljohnstoneuk saidMembers usually register to ask home brew related questions they rarely dive straight into the Snug with a dig at other members threads, if you want a "where is the nicest place in the country" thread feel free to start one.
and that was his first post my guess is he lives in one of the places listed and won't be back to start a thread about the nicest places to live.Imagine living in one of the towns listed as worst and reading this thread.. First and last look at this forum.

Look at the North Wales seaside town of Rhyl. Absolutely heaving probably from the 50's to the early 80's. Millions of visitors spending millions of pounds. In recent years its started a regeneration programme as it went into huge unemployment, drugs and degradation.I'll respectfully disagree about money being the solution @Chippy_Tea. Money is needed, of course, but If it were solely that, throwing up some tax-payer-paid apartments would have solved one of our problems of homelessness here. It didn't. Maybe we are saying the same thing though--money used for effective programs.
I don't think it's a big surprise that how we treat our poor here from the get-go is a basis for our problems. We keep the poor poor and then drugs, apathy, crime follow in the wake of that.
My point is that pointing out bad situations alone doesn't do any good except to cement people into a spectator attitude.
Most strange that somebody should register on a Brewing forum and not use it for what it is meant for.I hope he didn't register just to make that point then leave for good as that would have been a total waste of his time.
THis is confusing seems to have merged with Russia Ukriane lol
I actually scrolled up to make sure I hadn't posted in the wrong spot.THis is confusing seems to have merged with Russia Ukriane lol
Yep, badly paid seasonal jobs and villages “dying” due to second homes and holiday let’s, some of the worst poverty in the country. I don’t know anyone whose kids can afford to rent let alone buy anymore in Cornwall.Look at the North Wales seaside town of Rhyl. Absolutely heaving probably from the 50's to the early 80's.

My question is...where did all the money go? It certainly wasn't invested back into the community. Or maybe the business owners invested it elsewhere. True,package holidays abroad killed a lot of UK trade but you only have to look at areas in Devon and Cornwall to see what's achievable.
and Milford HavenWas that just for England?
They missed Newport Gwent.
