Anyone been to Dewsbury? Not that bad to look at from the outskirts is probably a big selling point!

My sister lived in Dundee for a while about 10 years ago. I always enjoyed visiting and found the locals to be mostly pretty friendly types.
I've often got the impression it's somewhere that people who haven't visited like to slag off to make themselves feel better about their own surroundings.Last edited by Mr White; 15-11-2016 at 06:09 PM.

This thread is brutal. I grew up in leith in the late 80s/90s and it had the reputation as being an awful place, but nothing could've been further from the truth. People make towns and cities what they are and while Edinburgh may be pretty to look at, there's a huge number of arse holes living here.
United we stand here....

Rubbish. I moved to Lanarkshire 15 years ago and I've never regretted it.
One of the nicest things about them is that they don't get snobby about other people's home towns.
Great Yarmouth's an industrial port? Shocking! So was Leith back in the day ...

I feel a bit sorry for Paisley. That central spot, where you have the Abbey and the Town Hall in close proximity is one of the most striking public/civic spaces in Scotland IMO, especially given the size and circumstances of the town. The centre of Paisley itself has an incredible amount of listed architecture and I think the town has made its fair share to the broad history of Scotland.
The flipside is the undoubted levels of deprivation and what appears to be decades of neglect at a planning level.
With its location so close to what Glasgow has to offer, I think it has great potential. I'd be delighted to see it succeed for the City of Culture status in 2021 as it would hopefully bring the investment and attention that could return it to the glories it experienced 100-150 years ago.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Rochdale and the entire surrounding area near Manchester (Blackburn, Burnley etc.) has got to be the most depressing places going. I had the misfortune of having to visit the area regularly last year with work and every time it was truly ghastly. Grey and miserable every time, couldn't wait to escape.

........ and it's also had to put up with two of the sleasiest British MPs in the past ten years.
