Had wonderful fish and chips on Canvey IslandInternationally, Dubai, by a long way. Atlanta is pretty shit with palpable racism.
In the UK, pretty much any coastal town in Kent or Essex with Canvey Island and The Isle of Sheppey topping the list. If the current populations are anything to go buy they must have been penal colonies in the past.
Times 1000. I'd rather spend a week in Türkmenbaşy, Playa de las Américas, Cumbernauld or the top end of Krasnoyarsk Krai.
Calama, Dudinka, and Nur-Sultan are all relatively charm free. There are plenty more (lots of instantly forgettable places in the US). The Vatican City State seems to be the hotbed of some cult.
I've always found Naples (NA) a fantastic and fascinating place, though visiting there with a local might help to some degree.
Places have names. It's weird.I know you're just talking about places you've visited, and you're nice, but man. It's like name-dropping but for places.
well, i, for one, am grateful to read about (and then google) such places that I will never visit. and everyone else is doing the same on this thread.I know you're just talking about places you've visited, and you're nice, but man. It's like name-dropping but for places.
I get the (rather obvious) Fear and Loathing... reference, but what’s with the straining for political relevance on top of that ?View attachment 191493
We were on the steppe, just outside of Самара, when the covfefe began to take hold.
No strain. Just a bit of fun.I get the (rather obvious) Fear and Loathing... reference, but what’s with the straining for political relevance on top of that ?
i have to do that cursed roundabout this morning & am sat here watching videos about it on youtube to prepare myself .I've driven round it three or four times. Every time I've ended up in the wrong lane at some point. I excuse it by having a foreign car that doesn't understand roundabouts.
Good luck!i have to do that cursed roundabout this morning & am sat here watching videos about it on youtube to prepare myself .

I got angry beeped twice, haven’t been angry beeped at all for months. Just don’t get that roundabout : (Good luck!
The way to deal with it is just to forget about the big roundabout in the middle and to treat it like a normal road with a series of mini roundabouts.I got angry beeped twice, haven’t been angry beeped at all for months. Just don’t get that roundabout : (
I broke down on that roundabout at 18:00 on a Friday night in the 90s, in my 1971 Beetle. Good Times lol.the one at Brent Cross at the bottom of the M1 takes extreme bravery at any time
That’s a shame about Iceland. I reckon you were just unfortunate. It’s expensive and bleak, but unique, and has a lot to recommend it.Iceland. Shit food, eye wateringly expensive, we went when Gordon Brown has just seized their banks so they were not welcoming to the Brits, Northern lights tour cancelled two nights in a row, mr Shakes getting pulled by sniffer dogs at the airport and hauled off for interrogations, Mr Shakes being so weird I seriously thought he was going to dump me. The upside, he’d been trying to propose all weekend but everywhere was so shithe didn’t want to do it. I eventually guessed late on the last night.
Ajman in the Emirates. Got taken to the doctors there while filming in the next Emirate. Doctor gave me penicillin despite me being allergic to it and wearing a medicalert bracelet. Wouldn’t speak to me or look at me. Awful place

Lutterworth.
The last time I went to Lutterworth I surprised a man trying to break into my car to retrieve his pistol.Ha! My massively racist Tory step sister lives in Lutterworth. Given this is somewhere she's chosen over Northampton, Towcester and Daventry, I can well believe it's dreadful, even if it has a Waitrose
