I tried to think of a pun out of the White Cliffs of Dover song. Nothing came of it.

Imagine having your town described as the worst town in Britain. Just imagine this for a moment. You wake up, it’s a lovely sunny day, and you flick on the news or go to your preferred app, and you see your hometown, Dover, being described as a:

‘Herpes-infested s***hole.’

Brilliant.

The seaside town on the south coast came up via crowd opinion by ILiveHere.co.uk. It beat the likes of Hull, Scunthorpe, and Bradford to the infamous title. It even beat Sunderland (which came 8th), and you’ll be happy to hear Newcastle is not on the list. However, given the state of the Bigg Market on any given Saturday, I’m genuinely shocked.

Some members of the community spoke about the area, and the general consensus was it’s a bit run down, but not without its merits.

The views first of all:

Dover castle

And who doesn’t love the beach?

See? Not all bad.

Stick a Domino’s on the sea front and you’re sorted. Then again, what situation isn’t made better with pizza.
