If I had a dog I'd kick it

That can't be true, it's grim up north

Croydon
Harlow
High Wycombe
Slough
Ramsgate
Margate
Southend
Southall
Wembley
Greenford
Reading
Walthamstow
Tower Hamlets
Peckham

all are like utopia, once you arrive you never want to leave, why would you?

Can't help it if you have only visited the crap areas.
For every one of those I could raise you 5 in the North.
And come up with my own list of great places in London and the South:

Barnes
Richmond
Kensington and Chelsea
Chiswick
Quite a few really nice places in Surrey
Ditto Hertfordshire
Ditto Sussex
Ditto a few parts of Essex

Equally I've lived in nice parts of the North.
So this discussion is a little pointless.

Neither did Tony Wilson

I suspect he was more interested in the money. The Hacienda was a touristy club for the white stiletto and handbag brigade in the same way ministry of sound is, and that odious place in Liverpool. Kerching!

Disgusting!!! This sort of well-balanced, considered and fair appraisal of a CUK question is, quite frankly, a disgrace. Shame on you SAS.

Ask most a locals over the age of 30 and you will realise the Tony Wilson myth. Os course he opened a dance club to make money, otherwise he'd have opened a live music club to support the local bands.

Do you think that was the full list? I didn't have time to list all the sh1tholes

Could still raise you by 5 in the North, I'm sure you'd agree.

Depnds where you consider the North starts, probably Watford
