I see you've been to Luton, then.
Need advice/info on Premier Leauge (UK)

LOL...I see you've been to Luton, then.
Yes... Not the worst place in Britain though...
I enjoyed driving through it... In a bus...
Scared the shit out of me when they stopped and let people in...
Like... What are you doing?

I feel like that any time I have to go near Bromley. It's Bat country!

Bromley...
Hmmm. OK, it's been a while for me since being in the UK...
I think you're taking the piss... Literally, or maybe I shouldn't have had the last glass of wine...
Bromley...
It was so quaint, I thought it was a movie set...

Scunthorpe. Or all of Glasgow.

Probably Luton, ie a shithole with an airport. Newark airport would be OK if all the TSA staff were given personality transplants; Luton the staff are OK if grumpy but the place is run down and grey. Similar grotty transport to a grotty part of NY/London.

Hey, there's lovely bits of Glasgow!
Paisley, though. (Paisley Gilmour St is where you get the bus to Glasgow airport). Yeah.

To my shame, I've only seen the highlands, bits of Carlisle, Ben Nevis (from afar), Glencoe, Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, and Inverness, the bits of which I saw made me fall forever in love with it.
Still haven't been to Edinburgh... yeah, that's pretty shameful, really.

Carlisle's in England! (Easy mistake to make. I looked it up after being stranded there for a few hours, realising we didn't know, and definitely not going to ask any locals...)
I've taken the sleeper up to Inverness - delays were wonderful as we got to see all of the Highlands in the morning. I've never been to Loch Lomond - people say there's too many tourists anyway - but I love Edinburgh. Even though its 3D streets do your head in for ages (there's roads you think are crossroads on the map, only one is five stories above the other...)
Glasgow is great as a tourist (Kelvingrove, museum of art) or to live if you have the money to avoid the schemes (housing projects). It's on the way to Arran or Cumbrae and Largs, which are lovely seaside, two islands.

At some point in my sorry life I need to get to Islay and Skye.
Lomond is shit - it is flat, boring, and infested with the entire world's population of midges. Ness is far and away the prettiest of the lochs in the chain. Windermere is probably prettier though, Ness is very rugged and stark.

Skye is wonderful.
Wild and windswept. OK, not exactly pretty, but it has an amazing atmosphere. The people are friendly. The two days I spent there, it was overcast and raining.
Somehow that only added to it's beauty.
Glasgow... What can I say. It was everything I expected. "I couldn't understand them when they were sober. I had no chance when they were pissed...
Seeing as how I got a job working behind a bar. It was pretty funny.
The Scot's have a wicked sense of humour.

The Scots are lovely. It's a pity about their endless feud with their arch-enemies, the Scots.

I've never heard of anyone who grew up in Paisley who didn't move away.

The worst place in the U.K.?
Knott End.
It’s not so much a dump but just a nothing place. It’s just…there.

Now that's unfair to Glasgow, which does have some surprisingly nice bits hidden away (but yes, it has some rank shite, too). Of course, you're spot on with Scunthorpe, but I would venture to propose Hull as more of a Newark, NJ - Scunthorpe makes me think more of Flint, Mi. And if we're looking at the south of England then there's always Sheerness, the shittest English town I've ever set foot in, or Chavham... sorry, Chatham, both of which give the lie to Kent as the 'Garden of England'; yeah, if that garden is on a sinkhole council estate and has been used for a rampant bout of fly-tipping...

Cock Hill deserves honourable mention too. Or at least the one near me does; it's a crossroads and some bemused cows.
False advertising, if you ask me...
omg this is perfect

I had a mate who had to spend two or three years in Aberdeen as a teenager (re-located due to dad's job). If you ever mention the place to him he goes quiet, his eyes unfocus into the middle-distance, and he gets this involuntary shiver as his shoulders slump. Following this recommendation, I've never been there...

Carlisle and Windermere are in England, Scottish Highlands and western isles are beautiful and Edinburgh on the east coast is a great City.
As for worst city, it's really just a town but Queenie got her arm twisted to make it a city a few years ago, that goes to the shithole known as Sunderland.

On the other hand, your country has some of the most salaciously named places in the world, begging to be the setting for a proper Lit story.
I was drooling over a map of the West Country the other day, dreaming about visiting (or revisiting) various places, and I came across several worthy town names: Chipping Sodbury (with nearby Little Sodbury and Little Sodbury End), Maidencombe, Cockwood, and Loveston. Elsewhere in your homeland there is Maidenwell, Cocklakes, Crotch Crescent in Headington and Cockermouth ... the list is endless with opportunity.

Sadly, the best we had was progressively replaced; many English towns and cities used to be graced with Gropecunt Lanes during the Middle Ages. These have all been unsurprisingly renamed. Boo! Hiss!
