Now what the worst city, town or even country you have ever been to ?
Now I have seen a few places where I did feel unsafe I have to say at least even beaten up in places . Now Fitzroy Crossing in Northern Australia was something else wild west really , never got into trouble but got out of there within minutes . When I was working in San Fran for a removal firm I had one move where this guy was moving out of the projects , I really did think I could be killed for a table and two chairs . Was in Cambodia in the early 90s and was told not to go out after dark otherwise we may never see you again , hey I got the hint . Anyone else .

La Boca in Buenos Aires. I thought the rest of the city was fine but that area was seriously dodgy.

Tegucigalpa - Honduras. One of the murder capitals of the world. Lots of slums and punters wandering around the city with machetes. I never really felt safe there.

Passed through Watts in East L.A. & our taxi broke down in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco. Was absolutely sh*tting myself in those places but no one said anything to us. Being the only 2 white people on a public bus through a black neighbourhood in L.A. where this fella was ranting about big bad white people to the bus driver . Noone in fairness said anything to us.
What we call a rough estate here is Disneyland compared to the U.S. You've a serious chance of being shot to death for the even the slightest of things.

Grimsby is the most horrible place I have experienced in the UK. The only place I have been a week before Christmas where they didn't even have any council/city decorations or Christmas lights up, not even a tree. There's also an element of your sister is your mother, your father is your brother about the locals too. Around Anfield a few years ago before they did up the new stand sticks out also. I'm told it looks a lot better now. Askeaton in Limerick is terrible too. |

That sounds brilliant, I was going to Blundell on Good Friday, might go for Xmas now. f**king lights were being put up here last week. You are correct An C., Bandon is a kip! When dividing places into kips you have to factor in the local character too, Hornet may not like this but I preferred Luton To Watford as anything could happen in Luton and Watford is the sort of place that feels like Royston Vasey. Was in Stevenage recently, felt like I was in some Dystopian drama. Every building looked thesame and it had completely sucked the life out of the locals.
