Funnily enough, thats exactly what I asked him! No - I think he was mortified that others may think he was after some custom! Especially as he drives a car with blacked out 'pimp daddy' windows! :rotfl:0 -

I think Phil lives in London but Kirsty recently moved back to the country, rural SE England IIRC. Can't find the article but I think she wrote about it in the Telegraph.I wonder where Phil and Krusty Arseslap live? Wonder if they'll be anywhere near the top 10 worst?A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

I never pay too much attention to these sorts of surveys/polls - you can find good & bad in every area. Look at Islington, London's crowning glory not so long ago - it has such pockets of deprivation within it that it comes out 7th worst. As a child, I spent a few years on an estate that probably had one of the worst reputations in London, yet it was where my parents had the nicest neighbours (she's still in touch with some of them nearly 40 years on), & where I had my happiest schooldays. A home is what you make it - sh*t neighbours exist whether they've got money or not, & whether the local authority are prepared to spend money or not. As a friend of mine says, you can put a pig in a palace, it will still tell you 'Oink'.
The top 20 worst list:
1. Middlesbrough - North East
2. Hull - Humberside
3. Newham - East London
4. Nottingham - East Midlands
5. Merthyr Tydfil - South Wales
6. North East Lincolnshire - Eastern England
7. Islington - North London
8. Blaenau Gwent - South Wales
9. Mansfield - East Midlands
10. Knowsley - Merseyside
11. Blackpool - North West
12. Hackney - East London
13. Stoke-on-Trent - Staffordshire
14. Barking and Dagenham - East London
15. Doncaster - South Yorkshire
16. Cannock Chase - Staffordshire
17. Manchester - North West
18. Haringey - North London
19. Burnley - Lancashire
20. Hartlepool - North EastBSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."

Is anyone else watching this?
Not really that bothered about the ratings, especially as I love my house, (even if it is in the 20 worst place to live)
More importantly, have you seen what Kirstie is wearing!!!!......that dress/suit thingy is just absolutely awful!!!!:eek::eek::eek:0 -
grr missed most of it. is any of it about scotland?0
-
so far, nothing for the Scots-few mentions of Wales though. I guess if Scotland is not in the 20 worst or best, that can be a good thing overall-right?0
-
Numpties, absolutely useless ... they referred to their list as 'official' ... not sure who gave them that authority?
Good to watch for a laugh ... between that suity coat thing and her atrocious presenting ...Gone ... or have I?0 -
