YATE

Extruding like a textbook hernia from the soft underbelly of Bristol, the vast 1960s proto-newtown of Yate once enjoyed a claim to being the suicide capital of Western Europe, until the inhabitants acquiesced to the local anaestetic of a revamped Tesco and brand new Lidl mart.

Yate shopping centre is rumoured to have bannered itself "Yate is great", but is in truth a Stanlinist concrete shopping lubyanka - a quadrant of cold alleys perfectly designed to trap and funnel the wind.

From the centre, endless ranks of Bovis style homes radiate to the horizon over trolley packed streams and along roads with names that don't even try to be interesting.

The closest this open plan wasteland has come to being interesting is the recent committal by magistrates of Gary Glitter after service technicians at a nearby PC World discovered his penchant for paedophillia.

Fortunately, the subsequent trial didn't draw a jury from Yate itself, where there is little else to do but yearn for the relative fascination of a life in the Orkneys. Twinned not, as one graffito once quipped, with Legoland. Yate's true alter ego is Bad Salzdetfurth, which is another post-industrial abomination somewhere near Hanover but which, within all reason, can't be as wrist-slittingly forlorn as this forgotten overspill.

48. WIDNES

It claims to be in Cheshire but was once in Lancashire yet should really be in Merseyside; which helps explain the horrible accent.

The Widnes-Runcorn Bridge, as seen in Merseybeat, is the last place on earth that its many suicide jumpers see. The place is consantly under the shaddow of vapour clouds from the Fiddlers Ferry power station. The rain, when it mixes with all the chemicalsin the air, must be the main reason why everybody looks like an extra from the film Deliverance.

Widnes, the place where the majority of the carcasses from the foot and mouth epidemic were incinerated.

listen to this, taken from the bit on liverpool

Liverpool has more Georgian period architecture than anywhere else in the UK except Bath. But unfortunately it is ruined by the graffitied sexual antics of the ubiquitous Sharon-Ann and a man called "Spunka".

taken from mirfield

The River Calder, which cuts through the town like a jet of piss through a festering turd, was once the most polluted in the country.
