I have to agree that Doncaster isn't anything special, especially with the centre part and old council estates.
But then Doncaster does have quite a few multi-millionaires out bessacarr way and further out going to the country side.

I'm surprised Plymouth isn't on there- it's pretty grubby and was described by someone on TV as "The toliet of England"

How apt 8)

I know a few places in Scotland that are conspicuous by their absence from the list.

Aspinall is those places that are bed or did you just leave them in a bad way, as you have seemed to have moved around quite a bit to produce such a list.

Only 13th! Bloody poor show if you ask me! Thought we would have done much better than that :cry:

Might not be beautiful to look at but I wouldn't change it for the world especially not the football club.

I'm from stoke and i would change it. I'd bring back the pottery ind. the steel and michelin. At least then the people of stoke could earn decent money, now thanks to the council we've lost nearly all the skilled industry and being filled with distribution centres, which only pay about £6-7 per hour. yes I believe stoke should be number 1 on that list and i believe at one point it was. Stoke is a dump in general but i believe it's down to the way it's run. I personally wouldn't change the area I live in as I don't know of any other area like it, but I completely disagree with the way stokes moving and it's backwards. :(
