Hrmph, well Manchester isn't all bad, like Liverpool, it used to be a pit, and the city centre at least is now not so bad.
If Blackpool was a city, then wowzers.
But if you want to see a festering sore on the bum of the world - try Bangkok. Well, ok in all fairness if you had a lot of money, didn't mind being ripped off by every single person you meet, then it has a certain asian charm - the chinatown which is vast is certainly worth a walk through, but......eeurgh it's not so great.
Bucharest - it grows on you............like fungus.
Joburg - lets just say when I was on the plane out of there, I was looking at the city at night just thinking "for goodness sake captain, climb higher faster before someone shoots at us"
