Barendrecht
I went there today, and I struggle to imagine why in heaven´s name anybody bothered to build it. It´s like an industrial estate but less entertaining. Imagine a 1970s motorway services without a Little Chef. In a couple of weeks time I have to spend several days there. Shall not be visiting more often than that. Amazingly, it has a huge, hypermodern glass railway station, obviously designed by someone who thought it would one day become a bustling metropolis. More like a bloody gulag for desperate commuters. Of course, said railway station is miles away from any place you wouldn't want to go to anyway, and don't expect taxis to come and pick you up. The only houses I saw were rows of terraced mock 19th century 'mansionettes', complete with plastic classical fountains and cheap gypsum statues of Venus (you know, the sort of place DimPrawn probably lives in). Really, everything about this place is hideous. It is a monument to bad taste.
Please name other places I can avoid, and which should be placed on a list for whichever kindly airforce flies over equipped with grand slam 2000lb bombs.
Yeah, I know, Slough's the obvious one, but there must be more all over Europe.
