Also a lot of American in the area due to there being 3 US Air Force bases within a 15 minute drive.

Graffiti? oh no! the humanity! Also, I'm disappointed to learn that fly tipping doesn't have anything to do with flies.

Illegal dumping of household bulk waste. Like, if you have an old fridge, you can just wheel it to a local park and leave it there.

Or a mattress to dispose of, you can carry it on your back like Obelisk in that comic, and dump it behind a half-built house.

[โ€“] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 20 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Trade waste too. Got 20 tons of rubble but donโ€™t want to pay the processing fees? Dump it on a farm somewhere.

[โ€“] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Or just dump it in the middle of a country road it seems

Thereโ€™s far, far worse places then Norwich. Swindon for example, or anywhere north of Cheltenham.

[โ€“] Beacon@fedia.io 17 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

You're just making up place names now, aren't you. Yes, glostenshire and wonkenham put the uk in quite a sticky wicket, i do say

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 weeks ago

penistone is a particularly mingy spot

[โ€“] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Those are almost real places. It's Gloucestershire (pronounced Glos-ter-shr) and Wokingham (pronounced woah-king-em).

Reminder that one of the original spellings of Gloucester was literally just Gloster, and then someone deliberately forced the other.

Wait till you find out about Scunthorpe.

I haven't heard pleasant things about Slough either.

[โ€“] Zip2@feddit.uk 6 points 4 weeks ago

True. And visiting Lowestoft made Greta Thunberg change her mind about rising sea levels.

[โ€“] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck Slough. The only other place in the UK more depressing that it is Hull.

Slough's old bus station

Slough's current bus station (appropriately destroyed by arson)

Bru-tal-ist!

Showcase the best of british cuisine. Just show Albanians this Buzzfeed article, then the government could call in genuine PR.

[โ€“] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

As a Brit, I find parts of that article deeply offensive. Pork pies, scotch eggs, black pudding....all delicious.

And what the fuck did the humble bourbon biscuit do to deserve that.

Utter bollocks!

[โ€“] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago

It's good food, looks horrible, just make them not visit to find out.

[โ€“] faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago

I also don't understand the hate on rice pudding. Most countries have a dessert like that.

[โ€“] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nope. Apart from haggis (which is excellent) and perhaps black pudding (the more expensive one) the rest of the food described in this article vary from "mildly unappetising" to "fucking awful".

[โ€“] flamingos@feddit.uk 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't think is was possible to hate squash. Also, bourbons are an A-teir biscuit, with the added benefit of being vegan.

[โ€“] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't think is was possible to hate squash

I assure you it is possible. It is awful. Properly disgusting.

Also, bourbons are an A-teir biscuit,

You could as well try to eat sand which touched a chocolate residue left by a Mars bar on its wrap.

[โ€“] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Please tell me this is true. Wankers.

[โ€“] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Mind you, it's a shithole for someone with Albania as a frame of reference.

It doesn't matter where you're from, no one needs to see Norwich

Borrowing from australian libs in 2016? Ooof
