Hurray!

Who watched the program about the top ten worst places and best places to live? Well here you go.

The 10 worst places to live:

1.Hull
2.Nottingham
3.Strabane, Northern Ireland
4.Hackney, London
5.Middlesbrough
6.Mansfield, East Midlands
7.Blaenau Gwent, South Wales
8.Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales
9.Salford, Greater Manchester
10.Easington, County Durham

Hull is apparently full of fatties, Nottingham is the Violent Crime capital of Britain, Middlesbrough is home to clouds of stinking, noxious clouds of pollution and crackdens and Easington is...well...Easington.

However, the program also highlighted the fact that if you drive out of Middlesbrough town centre, to places like Wynyard and Yarm, you'll be rubbing shoulders with footballers and millionaires, and that after Robo-Mayor demolishes half of the town centre and rebuilds it, it will become a more desirable place to live, and that house prices have already begun to climb. They still had nothing good to say about Hull.

Hurray! I will be having my house valued after christmas. I hope the value has gone up.

I don't understand, Easington isn't rough at all. If you blink you miss it. :/

dude, some of the decisions were based on things like rain-fall and how fat people are. How they make these places the worst to live in the country, i do not know. I think they're kind of justified in the positions they gave boro and nottingham though to be fair.

I'm not going to Blackout now i don't think. Decided Snowboarding was the beter option ;)

Notts IS rough for the most part. I'm very surprised Brum wasn't on the list.

Me and Popo went to stay at an old friends place there, so we could go out to some clubs. We had a cool night, slept and went home.

Later in the day, the news was plastered with reports of the neighbours of my friend being stabbed to death by some random attacker.
