Not sure I've ever heard that but I might have to see if I can find it. Sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a knock on Lincoln itself, which looks like a fine city. This is the correct answer. Boston in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I remember spending time in Boston. There's literally nothing about it that gives character. Half decent Football ground for the level they're at but that's about it. Wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Living in Skegness I would sometimes pop in to Boston, awful place, as are most of the Lincolnshire towns that arent Lincoln, in my opinion, that said did love living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because of the smug sense of satisfaction in knowing that you have at least double the number of active brain cells compared to the surrounding population?

picicata Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The whole of the west coast that is stuck behind the lake district is a backwater both physically and culturally. It feels almost cut off. Although I actually quite like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2023 What I have discovered from this thread is that Lincoln has clearly done what Capitals at all levels do and sucked all the wealth away from surrounding towns. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that stretch to the side of the Lakes really is awful. Whitehaven seems to have suffered some sort of extinction event about thirty years ago. Maybe a zombie virus outbreak or something?

Anthony Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2023 March. The one in Lincolnshire. Depressing place surrounded basically by swamp. I remember driving through and being stared at all the way through by a teddy boy with an Elvis hair cut and three yellow teeth. He was leaning against a Ford Cortina. This was in the late nineties. It used to be a place where farm workers lived. It now serves no purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Jaywick near Clacton-on-Sea is the closest I’ve seen in the UK to a shanty town. unbelievably desolate and poor place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent time in them both and loved them both equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
