Also known as ‘A Tour of the North with one exception which is almost in Essex’.
North is anything North of the Thames.F- for geography, Peterborough is Midlands, whereabouts oop North are Stevenage, Gravesend & Luton?
Thing that amazes me about programmes like these is how they know the ten worst places to live, to qualify a true & accurate account you must have lived literally everywhere in England to be able to compare, if not it is all supposition, it also depends on what you want from where you live, ie if you want beautiful Countryside & friendly people then Yorkshire is the place to be, if you want shit beer & sky high prices for trash then London is the place.North is anything North of the Thames.
Gravesend is almost Essex as explained in the original post.
As far as Essex folk its nearer france,,, so that puts it firmly in YYOUR area !Essex as explained in the original post
Coincidentally......Nah, forget it.Oddly, Hartlepool used to be a great place to visit in a motorhome.. So much so there used to be a couple of rallies there every year and it was a fav stopping place.... The average motorhomer. over a long weekend proly spent £100+ in the loca; shops
Recently the council decided it did not want or need our money and it is now almost a no go zone.. Several of the shops near a very popular park up area have now closed ( obviously I have no idea why but like most coppers, I do not like or particularly like coincidences )
Except Bradford.Sure there are some real shitholes in all of the places mentioned but also some decent area's as well
Without looking at that, the A61 in Barnsley has been described as the most dangerous road in Britain, I have no idea why as having travelled it many times in cars & on bikes I can tell you it is a super road & I have travelled much more dangerous roads.The North fares much better in this category.
