A little unfair on Nottingham I think, even they conceeded it had a great nightlife. Ok it has gun crime but it's only inter gang. I lived in an OK area near St Annes (the bad area) for 18 months and not once did I have a problem or see anything untoward on many stumble homes from the pub. Programme seemed a little biased e.g. Hackney did better then it should have because of the impending olympic regeneration.

Ah - speaking of village idiots, here's Franco.
Oi geezer, leave my manor alone. The East End is for hard geezers like me, orlright? Knock it on the 'ead and say no more.

Don't worry, mate, don't want to overtake your natural throne. You are still the leader of the pack.

The east end is for people without money (or stingy ones), that's it.

"he he What do you think a nice flat in Shoreditch costs, you ignoramus?"

That is not really east London, although geographically is. It's a yuppies island in east London.

Good, you keep your bedsit in Kensington.

[Bagpuss]

How can Wembley and Harlow not be on that list?

[The Lone Gunman]

Abercregan, Blaengwynfi and Glyncorrwg

I think you need to visit the vet to get your claws clipped, you seem to be hitting to many consonants and not enough vowels, that or you need a new keyboard.

maybe you should then

PS1: strange to see Nottingham on the list, it's not that bad, I have been to a few places that I would deem worse: Corby, Basildon, Swindon, Bristol, Doncaster, Wakefield for example. Nottingham is just a midlands version of Reading, nothing worse.

PS2: Francko, are you trying to make yourslef interesting by dissing the east end? Nuffin wrong wif it oyite? There's actually a fair amount of Italians in my street and they seem to like it here.
