That property above seemed to be in the town itself.Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostThere are some nice villages around Basingstoke if that's your bag. Basingstoke itself is fugly incarnate, for the most part.
But then most British town centres are pig fugly.
That's precisely the point I'm making, all town centres nowadays are ugly and infested by chavs from all over Europe, even places like affluent Cobham.
So judging an area by its town centre is silly.Hard Brexit now!
