Brescia’s got a rep for being full of neo-nazis too.

I feel like you haven’t suffered enough if you’re including Split.

Yeah I’d like to take that back, there are far worse in this thread that I’ve been to. It was just disappointing, really.

  1. Magaluf in winter when everything was locked up and no-one was there. Without all the drunk people and beach tat it looks like a Soviet industrial town.

  2. Sheerness.

  3. Mladost just outside of Sofia in Bulgaria. Apparently an expensive area due to good transport links. They dumped a load of high rises there in the 70s but didn’t really bother to build any roads. Lots of stray dogs that chase cars.

  4. Casablanca. All the downsides of Morocco, none of good stuff. Apparently Moroccans don’t like it much either.

  5. Various ex-industrial towns in Saxony. Full of neo-nazis and home of Pegida. They also talk like Brummies speaking German. (Dresden and Leipzig are great though).

Were you expecting Dubrovnik?

No, we were staying in Supetar on Brac and were expecting something more chilled, less obnoxiously touristy, or at least less fucking rammed with the contents of the bowels of as many cruise liners could fit in the harbour at once.

Supetar was lovely. I keep thinking about going back but there’s so many other places to see that it feels daft.

I was staying on Split harbour last month and luckily no cruise ships there then.

I did however leave Zadar just as a 1000 berth ship docked- and Zadar is much smaller.

I think Brač has an obnoxious party/yacht type crowd.

We didn’t bother with the party side. I’m the world’s most boring man, that’s my idea of hell. Supetar is more fishing village/low key tourist destination. A harbour with a handful of alright restaurants, a beachfront, the sea. It was nice.

I think I was in Split just before peak season. Mostly pleasant American and Canadian students doing some sightseeing.

Brescia was fucking sketchy. When I arrived I immediately thought “I’ve made a terrible mistake”. Being horrendously hungover and worried about getting stabbed,a great mix

The only way Edinburgh is the worst is if you visited during the festival.

I’ve got a soft spot for skeggy. If you go out of season it’s quite nice to walk on the muddy beach and stare at the huge, weirdly menacing wind farm on the horizon.

I forgot you were a UTI’er! Good mini golf but that’s as far as I’d go.

It ranks far down the list of East coast seaside shitholes.

E.g. great Yarmouth. THAT’s bad.

When I was a student in Hull there used to be a tramp who would just sit around drinking and singing. Once saw him sat in a bass drum singing his heart out. Wonder if it was the same man.

I second Stevenage.

Luton is pretty Labour, mate.
