I have tried to forget E&C....... still have nightmares......
At least once a week the 'kin lifts broke down so you had to trudge up/down the 4973 stairs just about wide enough for one - but with many 000's of poor sods coming the other way! Slightly less bad if it was on the way home (ie you were going down the stairs) in that at least you weren't likely to get pushed over and tumble down on your *rse

Anyone been to Lebanon? I've heard it’s really nice when they’re not fighting.

Staines is inside the M25, so it qualifies. It has a nice bit called Staines Moor or something similar. I used to work next to there with views over Heathrow Airport.

WSS. What a horrible place.

My own nomination is High Wycombe.

Most of Bucks is nice but that is indeed a horrid blot on the Landscape.
My own nomination is the Thanet area of Kent

The Magic Roundabout - close your eyes and pray.

Yes. It has that and the millionaire Dim Prawn who owns most of it.
