I had the misfortune to stay in Basingstoke for a few weeks. It is without doubt one of the Chav capitals of the UK. Almost Harlow grim.

Oh sh1te, why did you have to remind me ... I'd quite forgotten that Harlow exists!

I worked in Basingstoke briefly a couple of times, and stayed in B&Bs in surrounding villages.
