Rodney Ontario -- very small Canadian town. A church at the edge of town, built a 1/4 scale miniature light house in it's parking lot -- resplendent in fake seagull decorations. They are several miles away from the nearest waterfront.
Holy crap! You're from Wisbech too? Even the internet is a small world. (Mind = BLOWN)Snipermanic said:
Anyway. The main secondary school here was somewhere in the bottom 10 for OFSTED inspections a few years ago. Buildings have been mysteriously burning down all year. It's full of pound shops, chavs and about 40% of the town are not English.
Although we do have Elgood's brewery.
[EDIT] We also have Tony Martin. Elderly farmer chap who was imprisioned for shooting teenagers breaking into his house. Said teenager (isn't a teenager any more) lives off medical benefits but was spotted a while ago wadering about in the park without his crutches. Dunno what happened about that, but fucking freeloader.
Harrogate, England - Not sure if it's embarassing but we top the table for highest levels of dangerous drinking in the UK. Just over 1 in 4 adults is drinking at "hazardous" levels. Which is defined as defined as 22 to 50 units a week for men and 15 to 35 for women.
Once the good people of Harrogate discovered this via the news, quite a lot of people went out on the town of had parties and got drunk...
Oh we also export bottled water.

Staggering amount of Meth labs and unemployment and just it's sheer amount of un development and it's inability to not keep up with the modern times. And the amount of stupid uneducated people.
Well in the small Sea side town of Blackpool, there are many night clubs near the town centre which attract a lot of young tourists. And aren't they horrifed when they enter to see a bunch of 40 year old, sweaty woman trying to whore themselves out for the night... And don't you people EVER come back!
I fought my way to 2:30 in that video and then burst into laughter because the strain was killing me. I feel sorry for you... not because of where you live, but because of what people made to attract tourism to it (or deflect it from the look of the video).
I live in Saskatoon, but I actually have no idea where I was actually born (never really cared, nor did I ask), so let's use Saskatoon.
Dammit, I got nothing, seeing as I don't know too much about it, and I don't know anything off hand that really embarrasses me.

Melton Mowbray, and I f*cking hate it.
It's full of old people and hicks (so, basically FL without the sun). The council scale back more and more amenity projects so they can keep building themselves fancy new offices, there's no cable, and people take the pork pie thing *way* too seriously (there's even a statue-type-thing in the town enter...)
