    Yep, has to be Croydon for me too. Especially B-Block.
    That brings back, erm, fond memories of doing bugger all for months on end in 2001.

    I think I OD'd on sausage sandwiches from Debenhams breakfast bar in the shopping centre.

      Agreed its godawful but as I only went on a course there (a very long week) I didn't vote for it.
      It also has the distinction of serving me the worst curry I've ever had.

        Harlow, should be twinned with Widnes
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Are they serious? Maybe this is why the NHS is going wrong - too many hospitals.

          "The example often cited is that Bracknell has no hospital of its own. However, research has shown that having a hospital nearby can actually encourage people to develop diseases. For this reason, it was decided to build the town without adequate medical provision for its inhabitants. This way, no-one would ever become ill."

                I think I may of got Bracknell and Basingstoke mixed up, done time in Bracknell, Basingstoke, Slough and Crawley, all bad.

                Atleast I knew in advance that some of the northern places I have worked were going to be grim. I forgot a short stint in Widnes located between a bone processing plant and a gas works, whichever way the wind blew it stunk.
