    What's more interesting are towns that are different from their surrounding region:

    Aylesbury - grey and ugly
    Bridgwater (Somerset) - deserted - like the Wild West.

      Much as I love my country and all I'm amazed the not a single Scottish town made it on the list. Classic example of english bias yet again ...
      Sorry snaw, but I worked in Glasgow for three months a few years ago and rather liked it.

      Apart from the weather of course. I was there throughout the "summer".

      True, I stayed in the Hilton and mostly frequented the city centre in the evenings, but I did pass through Govan when I went running.

        The bit around the council offices certainly is, but I'll soon be working in Aylesbury, in a nicer bit than that.

        Incidentally, if you think Aylesbury is grey and ugly, wait until you've done Croydon. And B-block in the Home Office (above the Whitgift centre) is the most utterly depressing building I have ever worked in. It was even worse than the draughty portakabin in Stuttgart I was stuck in during mid-winter. This had leaking sewage pipes under the floor, necessitating permanently open windows in minus 10 degrees and the wearing of thick coats. I call that my "Himmler's Revenge" contract.

                Are you leaving us then Threaded?

                BTW, did I guess correctly about the "Life of Brian" reference in your other post?

                  No, just a public service to a fellow contractor.

                  Yes it was Life of Brian.
