Only one place worse than Sunderland = Middlesborough

Worst - Luton, only thing going for it would be as a nuclear weapons test site. Office I worked at had to padlock the bins shut to stop the locals torching the contents!

Best - Anywhere else

I'll second that. I grew up in Wiltshire and I never saw so much violence. You know where you are in London.

I would but I am unable to tear myself away from your wit and wisdom.
