My brother has a book called "Crap Towns: The Nation Decides". Do you happen to live in one of the worst towns in Britain? Lucia :-) (see below) |

I wouldn't pay attention to any of those types of books. They slag places off and get money for it. |

"The Nation Decides"? Who was asked? Haven't been to any of them except Edinburgh and I'm at a loss to understand why that's in the list! Daisy |

Here,s what it says on the website: "After the publication of Crap Towns, we were inundated by people saying "but why isn't X in there?" We've listened to your nominations and created a new list of the fifty worst places to live in" Lucia :-) |

I'm surprised Braintree isn't on there. A few years ago it was the teenage pregnancy capital of Europe AND had the largest amount of paedophiles per square mile!! Lovely place! becx |

Luton is pretty grim in places, I do agree with the assessment (although having not been in every town in Britain I can't say if it's the worst or not). Corby's awful too. |
