Duisburg in Germany is another city which needs bombing (again)
It's so bad it just took me 10 minutes to remember the name of the place, despite having had frequent dealings with it for a number of years.

Your analysis comes closer to the reality of the place.

Thank you.
PS Don't bother with Slough. I can confirm Owlhoot's belief that it has already been destroyed beyond redemption.

Yeah, I know, Slough's the obvious one, but there must be more all over Europe.
To cap it all, I had a £30 pound fine for overstaying my all day parking time by 5 minutes - The bastard parking warden must have been literally waiting round a corner, desperately hoping I wouldn't turn up in time.

Come friendly bombs and fall on...
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.
