    A very amusing and well put together and entertaining video. Thank you. Very nostalgic as well. I've been to many of the towns mentioned and used to live in Luton. They're all actually fine. I feel people who criticise their towns are more likely critising their own lives. If you hsve friends and hobbies you tend to take from a town what it has to offer, rather than worry about what it doesn't have.

    I was born in East London in the fifties an haved lived in Kent and now Lincolnshire. Over the years I have driven H.G.V's all over the country, and largely agree with the video and could probably add quite a few more towns. A lot of the problems are brought about by over population and a drop in personal pride from the population and disregard for their local community and just ask what is everybody going to do for me?

    I bet those same areas in the fifties were perfectly respectable towns, maybe a bit on the industrial end of things, but not crime hotspots.
    I grew up in south London, very average, but with a rich history, parks and open spaces where children played, for the most part safely.
    It was close enough to London by public transport which I, as a teenager, did not fear to use. Today, as an adult, I would hesitate.

      My comment was based on my experience of it when i grew up. It was a great town. I went to quarrendon school. I left around the year 2001. And not had the time to revisit. So it could have changed. Every town now seems overcrowded and the infrastructure and services can’t cope with the influx in population. I left because of the property prices and moved to Derbyshire. But I have a soft spot for Aylesbury where I spent my childhood and teen years.

    I grew up in Dover, and I did not hate it at all. This was in the 1960s though, and I am a lover of history (although I hated history as it was taught in school and dropped it as soon as I could). I really loved the history of the place. I loved the cliffs. I loved the beach, swimming and sailing. I was lucky in that I lived in a nice road, beneath the castle and a large park and beyond that, the countryside. I loved the proximity to France, and the proximity to London.

    I can attest to the Luton comments . I was born there ,but emigrated in 1973, up until the mid 1960’s it was a somewhat dull industrial town where nothing much happened, however ,large infiuxes of immigrants made certain areas almost no-go & it was risky to enter the town centre at night. We had a neighbour who worked as a security guard at the Arndale Centre & he told us tales of how risky it was there at
    night.
    During the late 1960’s I worked in Stevenage. The Old Town was a pleasant, quaint place on the Great North Road, the New Town ,however ,was an unpleasant,drab,characterless place as were all of those new towns.

      I live in the northern(cough original cough) of the 2 garden cities and the best description of Stevenage I saw came from a website called "ChavtownsUK", it was the only town that was titled on the site and it's title was "Chav Mecca". Fun facts: Stevenage had(probably still does) the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and STD transmission in the whole of Europe so had the biggest STD and AIDS clinics in the UK.
      I think the city council hopes for a war so that enemy bombers and missiles can do some improvements to the town centre. Most depressing town centre in Britain, no architectural merit unless you're a weirdo that thinks square blocks of crumbling dirty concrete with some glass rammed in it looks good and always filled with noisy ignorant stoned chavs squabbling with each other about I dunno what.

    I lived in Aylesbury for almost 20 years and I would say its harsh to call it the most hated town in Britain. I moved there in the 90's as it was cheaper to buy than Amersham/Wendover and Great Missenden. It's got good train links to London too with the Chiltern Line being one of the better ones. It's typically one of those commuter belt places that's sandwiched between 2 busier shopping areas (MK and Oxford) and what with current retail woes since the financial crash, it's high street has declined somewhat, but its not the most awful I've seen. Granted the town centre isn't the most picturesque despite being a market town, but I've seen far worse concrete monstrosities in other areas and from what I've seen on police docs on the TV, places like Luton and Northampton have far worse gangs and criminality.

Having since left Aylesbury I can maybe see it with fresh eyes but I still don’t think it’s the worst in Britain. Slough is worse imo. Went back to stay in Aylesbury recently for a few days and have seen a big change. There’s been so much housing development that the traffic in the town is just awful. The roads cannot cope. And from the town centre’s perspective there’s not a huge amount in the way of retail, mostly coffee and charity shops (in comparison to where I now live). That said, that criteria could be applied to so many towns in the UK in these current times.

The town centre is in the middle of being redeveloped and we have some very smart houses too. Have you ever been here?

      Scunthorpe has 2 or 3 main no go areas where everything is just shambolic in my opinion, the remaining areas for living aren’t too bad. The problem with Scunthorpe from when I was living there was that there are literally no facilities for people that want to do something that isn’t mainstream, which again contributes to the lack of diversity as explained in this video.

The big scandal was that the local council built a grandiose HQ for themselves called The Cube, which went £ 12 million over budget, was five years late and needed many repairs.

As a girl, I grew up in Northamptonshire and went to school in Wellingborough, and what I said is correct. Stewart and Lloyd set up a factory to process iron ore. In our back garden at Wellingborough the soil got waterlogged because of all the iron in the soil. The factory in Corby drew in a lot of Scots who had been unemployed. Having stranded them in Corby, British Steel closed down the works, leaving Golden Wonder crisps as about the only thing left. So, er no, flag waving or no, iron made Corby what it was.

      Huddersfield does seem to have gone downhill tbh. Hearing about so many st*bbings happening there in the news. Me and my dad have been doing some building for a couple that live there and they told us a random st*bbing happened just down the road from them. It's sad. My dad used to take me to Huddersfield every year for Christmas shopping when I was growing up and it never felt uneasy back then. This was in the 2000's, so not even that long ago.

    Thetford in Norfolk should be here. It was a dumping ground for London 'overspill' in the 1960s/70s - somewhere for London councils to place council tenants they couldn't house in London. Thetford Council did little to improve the town and it's facilities, and the indigenous Thetfordians hated us Londoners - and it showed. What a dump. I was soooooo pleased to go back to London.

      I live in East Anglia and it's just becoming too hot to be comfortable. I've lived here since 2011 - the summer of 2013 was brutal, then everything was fine until the legendary heatwave of 2018. Since then every summer has been hotter and less bearable than the last with Met Office data to support it.
      People are like "it's called summer mate" and "what do you expect it's July mate". Nah, the data is showing something very different and other people are definitely starting to notice as well. This is not normal and I truly do believe climate change is the key. Later this week there is set to be a FIFTEEN DEGREE difference between my current location and my Scottish hometown.
      In January 2020 there was one evening where I was able to go outside at 7pm without a jumper or a coat on. It felt like April. Never experienced anything like it before or since.

      Immigration ( you didn't have 'the nuts' to say it either ) is but one symptom. The main reason these towns are the way they are is a combination of things- chiefly the collapse of industry, aging infrastructure & lack of investment & a general decline in health & living standards due to Americanisation ( chief cause of the obesity epidemic ), lax laws on the availability of alcohol & a reliance on anti depressant drugs to treat the malaise caused by these problems, ally this to the pessimistic, I'm alright Jack British character & you have a recipe for misery which people like you ( the very people who voted for Thatcher & the Tories who caused most of the mess ) & not immigrants created.
