Does anyone else have places they go to where they just know something is going to go wrong? Even with an open mind and a “maybe I was wrong” approach, it still goes awry… My top three (in no particular order) are:
Leeds: miserable gits that you can’t please no matter how much you do.
Sussex: bloody weirdos.
Ipswich: weird and ignorant.
Apologies to anybody here who may be from one of these places and is quite normal
PS I’m a Londoner, you can insult me all you like, I’m used to it!
Birmingham - I’d much rather drive through London than navigate anywhere near Birmingham, it’s horrible.
British Sugar at Newark - Every time beet seasons starts, my unit develops faults. Last year the engine almost killed itself, although I never found out the real diagnosis, this year the PTO wouldn’t engage, leaving me looking like a lemon - lol and behold it worked as soon as Thompson’s tried it!!
Wales !
I have been going there for over 45 years and the weather is always sh#te !
As you pass into Flintshire their is a sign that tells you that it is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
As it’s always awful weather or dark or both I am yet to be convinced.

Black Country. Hateful accent, horrible people. Puts me in a foul mood as soon as I know I’m heading that way.
Specific places such as DHL in Bicester have a similar effect. I’m borderline banned from there which I’m obviously gutted about
That is the UK’s worst accent, the other one that grates on my ears is Stoke/Nottingham/Derby. Worse again is someone from there trying to sound all “badman” innit bruv. Truly awful.

Used to be a big sign painted on a wall when you crossed over saying “BEWARE ENGLISH”, never boded well
As I get older and nearer to retirement, I find that my tolorence levels of most British cities drops further into the gutter. I hate going anywhere within the M25, the west midlands in general especially the Black country. If there is one town I particularly despise then it is Luton, oh and Basildon and Gray’s…add Tilbury to that and Purfleet…sod it most of estuary Essex…

I don’t mind Essex, it has a gritty honesty about it.
ANYWHERE within the M25: Car and van drivers that do almost ANYTHING to get past you, journeys that take an eternity to get from one area of London to another (for example, Westminster to Leyton), especially during rush hour, and drivers that lay on their horns, even if you hold them up for a few milliseconds!

Reading! For some reason my internal compass goes haywire here. Pre sat nav I never used to be able to go the same way twice to the same drop.
