Quote on where [I was born](http://www.idler.co.uk/html/frontsection/craptown/towns/burnley.htm): ‘The one redeeming feature of burnley is that it isn’t _Nelson_… no point nominating that, because your reviewers wouldn’t last ten minutes.’

Quote on where [I was brought-up](http://www.idler.co.uk/html/frontsection/craptown/towns/chatham.htm): ‘Gateway to the Medway Towns, Chatham (with a silent ‘t’) has much to offer, if only as a beginner’s guide to its even uglier urban-toilet sister, _Strood_. This Safeway-centric gem is just a five minute train journey (in the dark as the lightbulbs will have been thrown out of the window) across the turd-brown waters of the River Medway.’

and where my family and [I used to occasionally holiday](http://www.idler.co.uk/html/frontsection/craptown/towns/leysdown.htm): ‘Evenings are usually brought to an abrupt close by the loss of consciousness, precipitated by looking at someone’s bird and receiving a sovereign’n’hate fist in the head.’

Oh dear. Amazed I survived really.
