8:00p - Worst Town In Britain - The North:South Divide Is Alive And Well!
Otherwise known as "When you've nothing left to be proud of, be proud of being proud".

Last night a special edition of Location, Location, Location aired in the UK. Special because it showed the UK's top ten best and worst towns.

As you might imagine, people feel passionately about such things. And the "worst town in Britain" Middlesbrough would like the country to know it is VERY UPSET.

It starts with a Rebuttal on the BBC

( And the voices start rising )

Of course, the Beeb moderate comments which make it hard to find real wank there. No matter though, because it's hardly going to stay there.

The Middlesbrough Mayor demands that the entire North East boycott Channel 4. Also he thinks the producers should crawl to Middlesbrough on their hands and knees to beg random members of the public for an apology.

Move on to the forums of the locl paper, and folk are getting more upset.

Excitable? Pissed off? Indeed!

But it's not until you hit the Channel 4 message boards you'll see them really losing it.

( And the North and the South meet with a clang )

The UK: A very small country that spends most of its time seperating into even smaller parts so they can shout at each other.

ETA: New news links!

If you're not Nelson Mandela your opinion doesn't count anyway!

WE WILL BURN YOU IN EFFIGY!
