Nottingham. I always expect to get back to where I started from. Just seem to go round in circles.
Milton Keynes. I have never, ever, failed to get lost there.
In theory, because of the grid layout, it should be one of the easiest places to navigate. Must be a mental block I have about the place. Every road looks exactly the same and always seems to lead to where you originally started from. Telford gets me the same way. Maybe it’s just New Towns.
Liverpool & Manchester for me cant stand the accent sounds like a quacking duck also everyone thinks they are either a talented musician… a comedian…a loveable scally

Went to Leeds today.
1 Miserable git (not local). 2 not miserable (one local).
It rained, I got soaked.
Every bloody time!
Oh, I got lost as well!
As a near local to Leeds I defy anyone to drive around what is laughingly called the "inner loop"without missing a turn.Never fear though we have countless happy smiling locals to help you out!
More precise and freshly thought of after seeing it magically appear on my manifest overnight… Tesco Teesport.
Hateful place. Hateful people.
I’m clinging onto the crumb that I’m collecting stuff as a stock uplift and maybe, just maybe, it won’t be as soul destroying as delivering.
Also got Asda Washington very soon. Never been there but not expecting much.
So basically any RDC can be added to the list.

Back when I did Wilko stores deliveries, I spent an hour driving around the loop looking for the entrance to the underground service area, all I was told was that the entrance was next to the C&A store. Trouble was the C&A had closed several years earlier
Likewise the access to the store in the centre of Nottingham is as allusive

I’m there as I type. IMO one of the better ones, staff good as gold and friendly too.
I was always put in a grumpy mood if I had to go to Proctor and Gamble , Seaton Delaval . Both shifts were miserable twonks but one lot were truly obstructive and full of gloom and doom . The hold I always had over them was that my loads were always urgent and production were waiting for them .
The only upside of the run was visiting family friends at their farm in Northallerton. Every cloud and all that .

+1 on that. Old place but good systems. Pleasant staff and good coffee machine. Plus the loo is where it should be not miles away round the other side of the building.
Yeah it was sound to be fair.
Tesco Teesport… was in and out in half hour. Onky 14 mins on a bay
Ffos Las racecourse
The rain pelts down from the moment you drive over the bridge, the horses hate it and I am still wringing water out of my underwear months later
Thank goodness I have a proper job again now
Was in Farm Foods in Warrington the other day, really odd canteen setup. They had fridges full of the stuff they sell, and a microwave or two. £3 for all you can eat, apparently!
I didn’t have anything, but I thought it was a nice gesture.

You pay your three quid and they give you a little yellow badge so you can take your food. Nobody ever checks so you could just save your money, look confident and help yourself. Allegedly

I see!
Sheffield. Every bloody time I need to get the the Amazon depot either:
A) There’s a road closure between the M1 and the depot, and the diversion is poorly signed and I’m overheight for some sodding bridge
B) There’s another road closure when I’m trying to get around the first road closure
C) Every set of lights stops me
I just hate Sheffield. It feels like a grim excrement hole too.
Worcester and any place around Worcester. Tight streets, tight turns, tiny “trading estates”, well disguised goods-in entrances, local companies are so broke they can’t afford to put up a sign with their name on the building, industrial/trading estates usually mixed into residential zones so lots of parked cars near entrances etc.

I’m all for the liberation of goods, but the day I rob Farmfoods ■■■■■ is the day I pack in

Then we complain when such facilities are withdrawn, or declared “for our employees only”…
