Been a very long time since I've been to Shirley High Street.Suhari wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 8:42 pmTotally shit in the 80s and 90s. In about 2000 they did up the centre, basically putting a roof over the old city centre shopping area, which used to be full of 12 year old mums and smelled of piss. The shopping centre made it better, but it's strange walking around white, marbled "shopping mall" roads that used to open to the air, grey concrete and full of dog turds.Hillman avenger wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 8:29 pm Lots to choose from but at or near the top has to be Basingstoke.
We lived in a village four miles or so outside in the 80s. There was one dominant office block above all the others and there was a poll to ask people what they wanted at the top when it was dark. They chose a digital clock.
Eastleigh. Now there's a shithole. Was on par with Blazingstoke 30 years ago, and now far surpasses it. Too many toes and not enough braincells or teeth in the typical resident.
And don't get me started on Shirley high street.
Gruesome place
