Your Town

[bigboab]

Tell us about the good points about your town, or your part of a city if that is appropriate. Five good points, five bad points. I am not asking you to run your town down, that is what the council is there for. :) Try and make the bad points humorous. I’ll start with the town I stay in at the moment, you figure out where it is:


Good Points

1. Home of Johnny Walker (no not the DJ)
2. The poet Robert Burns first published here.
3. It is centrally located, in a tourist area, making almost anything easily accessible.
4. The oldest railway viaduct in the world is located on the outskirts of the town.
5. The town is socially minded. Admittance to most amenities is free, including a large country park and castle.

I was going to add that they have a rubbish football team in the good points. But only Zero would appreciate that one. ;)

Bad Points

1. The Mujahidin were using a local housing scheme for training purposes. They left because it was too rough for them.
2. There are no Ladies toilets. They were closed due to lack of usage. The council, in their infinite wisdom, put signs on the doors saying ‘No Dogs allowed’.
3. We tried to ‘Twin’ with Kabul. But Kabul turned us down.
4. There are that many people with walking sticks (An extra £34 on DHSS) in the town. On shopping day the centre of town looks like a sawmill.
5. If you took all the Charity, Pound, and Card shops out of the town centre, there would be nothing left.

I forgot to add, I live there, in the bad points. :lol:

Good

Safe town with reasonably little crime
some beautiful scenery surrounds the town, views of mountains from the town
friendly people
Cheap to eat out and the food is generally good with a wide choice.
peaceful

Bad

Very little industry, it's more a retirement area so the largest employers are those in healthcare
It's a famous place but for an embarrasing reason.....A certain alien landing
The only people that walk are tourists.
Miles from anywhere
VERY HOT AND VERY DRY.
