The days that lower earners could afford to visit and graze
at UK seaside/theme park attractions have been and gone. |

Visited Grimsby on the way to Beverly races many years ago. Probably similar to a holding bay for the Jeremy Kyle show

Are the towns named here ought to be referred to as ghettos as termed by Ms Braverman, our former home sec? Is it a strong possibility that some of these towns could eventually be known / named by the new "locals" to one of those in their former country eg Thornton Heath -> Bholari? If so, UK Plc could be like Horseracing UK -> a spiral decline.

Anyone been to Hatfield,bit like a zombie movie. I did my degree there (Uni of Hertfordshire) and lived there for 3 years. Yes, it's an odd place - alongside some of the poorer areas also home of Hatfield House a bastion of previous wealth/Aristocracy. The Galleria shopping centre I recall also (maybe the zombie reference in part)... An odd place but I still remember it from those years gone by with a bit of fondness. |

Went thru Hull en route to Beverley 5 or 10 years ago, it didnt seem to be doing very well. Two youths were mooning over the motorway on the way in.

I saw the price tkts/wrist bands for blackpool pleasure beach 2 summers ago and it might have changed again now due to complaints, but grannies and grandad's were charged full price as though they were queuing up to have 6 goes on the biggest rollercoaster
,no walk in tkts/prices available |

Never been to Corby, but I do remember reading an article 5-10 years ago and it was listed top of the most improved towns in the UK.
I'd never knowingly stay in somewhere that I thought was going to be awful. I did have a day in Hastings during the 2016 Euros and thought I'm never going here again. Whitehaven struck me as the most boring place I'd ever seen when we visited on a school trip once. |

My childrens' nanny took me to her birth village, just outside Coventry. It was an exquisite village and charming. We then drove through Coventry.

One sure sign you are passing through a “scummy” is when you’re at traffic lights and look across to the walk/don’t walk sign area and see two young girls waiting to cross rid their noses of drips by rubbing them up and down vigorously with their jersey cuffs. I try not to be a snob but ffs there are some habits which just tell the tale. Wallyford -East Lothian.
