Dingwall

This is too good not to share. Nearly spat my tea out when I read it.

That’s a bit harsh! Its got a decent sea front and Morecambe Bay although, like many towns, parts of it have seen better days and are in need of regeneration.

I’d have thought the likes of Workington, Barrow, Hartlepool, Scunthorpe, Barnsley, Nuneaton, Swindon and Newport (Wales) would be well up the list.

Towns to rival Dingwall in Scotland would surely include the likes of Wick, Falkirk, Alloa and Stranraer.

My wife comes from Falkirk, so I've spent more time there than anyone should ever have to.

Looks its best in a rear-view mirror

My gran lived in Denny which made Falkirk look posh. I was there regularly in my younger days. I’d not even describe it as a town given the absence of facilities.

I've been to Morecambe too. I found it to be ok and not a bad as some other places I've been too. The author of the book also mentioned Newport (Wales). The book was about his travels all over the country by rail. Was a great read and very funny in places. 

Nuneaton is the butt of all jokes here in Coventry. It's close neighbour, Atherstone, is also mentioned in these parts.
