    From Wiki - "In 2002, a Tay FM competition to find a slogan for the ((Tay Road)) bridge was abandoned after the slogan with the most votes - “It’s all downhill to Dundee” (reflecting the bridge’s downward angle) was deemed unsuitable."

    Went through there once on the train.

    Looked a ghastly, grey place.

    My overriding memory is of really ugly looking council houses. Like the style of council house you see down here sometimes, which I believe is called a Cornish Unit, except they had about 5 floors and were just huge pebble dashed monstrosities.

    Yes, I'd like to express my gratitude to the people of Dundee for living in such squalor to provide the nation's kitchens with an endless supply of lino.

    Definitely worth a visit in 2018 before it fades into post-Brexit decline.
