Description

Following an itinerary drawn up from surveys, and polls, the author goes to places that nobody wants to go to - the bleakest towns, the shonkiest hotels, and the scariest pubs. This book is about his journey through deep-fried, brownfield, poundshop Britain, a crash course in urban blight, deranged civic planning and commercial eccentricity.
