    They brought in this zero tolerance policy to 'clean up the streets' so maybe that is helped. And it got voted 3rd best party city in the world by some reputable mag or tv program or something. Maybe it was the Newcastle Herald.

    Bolton. There is nothing endearing about this place. Actually there is a good pie shop round the corner from the Reebok stadium. But that's it.

    There's a good pie shop round the corner from the Reebok stadium. And there was a good stall at the market that did jeans in my size, but it closed.

    No way! My favourite kebab shop in the world ever is in Chorlton!

    You can take the rest of it though. There was some daft survey a couple of years ago that said Chorlton had the largest percentage of single women compared to the rest of the UK (or something) - they forgot to point out that this had a correlation with largest number of women wearing Doc Marten's, dungarees and short haircuts.

    I hate statistics. 99% of the time, anyway.

    To be honest it's a cracking night out, no trouble, lots of bars, lots of variety, everyone's friendly. Not sure what there is to do when you're sober, but I've never been sober in Newcastle.

    Hull - I spent 3 days there in 1995. I still shudder at the thought of it.

    Surbiton - Even the name reeks of smug suburbia.

    Gibraltar - More inbreeding than East Anglia.

    Islington - Too many tossers for it to be worth saving
