Hereford…dumbarse local yokels that cant drive for toffee.
My first drop is a bit south of Bristol 2mrw…
Last week from Southampton I went in on the m32 and followed signs to airport but thinking of trying the route in from Avonmouth?
Any views from locals/regulars??

Pretty much all the ones mentioned above except Hull, that’s a doddle although I used to do it multi drop twice a week before sat navs so learnt it well. Madchester and the surrounding towns do my swede in the most I think.
I’m off to the south west tomorrow in my new truck so should be ok, better than fighting with city traffic whilst learning how to drive all over again [emoji57]
If you exit the M5 at Avonmourh, follow the road going under the Clifton suspension bridge.
Follow the signs to Weston Super Mare, to turn left on the new ring road.
You come out South of Bristol .
Depending on commuter jams, all of Bristol is rubbish.
Another option, carry on Sourh on the M5.
Exit at Glastonbury, to Shepton then North towards Bristol.
A lot of drivers do that if heavy, time difference nominal if not quicker as you keep moving.
Bristol any day god awful place,used to do 2 drops did 1st could see the road to the service yard from where I was parked (in the centre by an old fire station) but took 30 minutes putting up with rush hour clowns just to get there.
Getting out round Cabot circus to the M32 wasn’t too bad but getting in at 7am was crap on a good day.
Birmingham is a nightmare, lane markings… what lane markings!!!
Sheffield is a pain, but not too bad.
Leicester is just a mess from start to finish!
Anywhere there’s traffic calming measures as I’ve never seen one that works, any place which has not seen any financial improvements since the horse and cart becouse business out grow their buildings and I’m told “you’re not the first attic we’ve had in here “ as I look at the damage caused. It’s all changing, the nice places in the past are now in the middle of a housing estate.

I would go with Bristol too.
Used to deliver to Bailey Caravans, don’t know if they’ve moved now or they’re in the same place but I used to hate every minute of it.

Still in the same place. Its got about four entrances for various different things lol which is fine of you know which one but a ballache if you get it wrong and need to find another.
Speaking from experience there btw 
Bristol related but delivered to a building site at Glass Wharf. Site entrance was on a traffic light crossroad on the right but you have to back in. You can’t go straight as there’s a low bridge. Then to get out you can’t go straight because it’s a dead end but you can’t turn left because it’s too tight with street furniture and you can’t turn right because of the bridge. So you go straight on into a dead end and have yo shuffle back and jacknife the combo to get back the way you came because there’s ANOTHER low bridge 
Absolute ballache
Yorkshire. Hate the place, hate the people.

And it stinks
Of beer 
I hate the north circular because I spend more energy and concentration watching for speed and traffic light cameras than I do watching the traffic.
I hated the M8 at Glasgow the few times I’ve driven on it. I think that whole area is unecessarily confusing for those unfamiliar with it.
I hate the Walsall ringroad as there’s about 20 sets of lights and it seems you have to stop at every set.
Oh, and anywhere in the South East, especially Essex and Thurrock way, because there’s too many people, and I generally don’t like people. I find people down that way are not half as friendly as those oop north.
The A1 from Alnwick to Tranent , aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Poxy supermarket wagons doing 35mph then 56
Old dodderers pulling out and speeding up slowing down speeding up slowing down
They close bits of it whenever they feel like it
Get me over the 66 and up the 74 any day of the week, i really do hate that A1 with a passion
Anywhere that in the daytime vehicles being driven are “driver only” PLG with running costs obviously being put to the taxpayer, as who driving a gas guzzler pulls into a MSA and tanks up at the 20p/liter premium they charge there?
They are not spending their own money. They are spending the taxpayer’s via the offset self-employed system.
That makes these people worse than benefit scroungers in my mind, because the amount they can claim back far exceeds the £23k cap that we’re told now applies to “regular” benefits…
I remember when I was a kid, and a big Jag or Rolls would drive past at the seaside town I was in (Kent having loads of them…) and My dad would advise "He fills his car up from the proceeds of those amusement arcades he runs. Don’t line his pockets there Son. Don’t fill his Jag for him!"
…I’m always suspicious of people flaunting their wealth, or reckless debt if you will - and that’s about the most Left part of me there is saying that of course!
I don’t believe in “Entitlements.” I believe in “Reaping what you’ve sown, without being hampered by those that can’t be arsed to get up and hold down a job!” 
The Tories, in leaving White Van Man alone in the end - was a shrewd move to keep the former Blair voters, Brudder-like communities, and “those working the system” on board.
Hammond was about to change my mind about him when he proposed “taxing white van man” - but it didn’t happen, just as Cameron’s “right to defend oneself in one’s own home” got dropped, and Theresa May’s “Support for Grammar Schools” - which have now gone to pot, even in this town that has more than it’s fair share of such schools. ALL vote-losing moves by the Tories… How much longer can they last now?
Taxing the PAYE motorist - and giving it to “Break My Windows” Charlie Spender… 
Air start:

Ain’t that the truth! Seen Avebury lately■■?.horrific,sterile…“dwellings”,hideous concrete cancer infecting the Wiltshire environs.I hope the slimeballs who create this dystopia have their day of reckoning and soon.Evil.
Haven’t done too much driving south of the midlands…so can’t really comment on anywhere down south.
…but three horrible towns, which I frequently deliver to, in the northwest are Lancaster, Blackburn and Bolton.
Many of the streets off the one-way system in Lancaster are very narrow and awkward for an artic…and there is
absolutely no-where near the city centre to park for a break, should you need to have one. In many parts of Blackburn
and Bolton you can easily end up circling your delivery destination for 10-15 mins before you find that partly-hidden
narrow alleyway that you’re supposed to reverse up to gain access!
Sheffield city centre can also be tricky.

Aye Thurrock region is especially spirit sshrivelling , nasty,depressing dystopia bar none.
Bristol is the one and only place where i have driven up a one way road the wrong way (in a car and luckily only for a short distance) accidentally !
