Check out The Ugliest Town In The UK

It has a dry ski slope, a Norman church and its
cinema was opened by Lauren Bacall.
But none of these could influence a controversial
new poll in which Hemel Hempstead has been
named the ugliest town in the UK.
The survey, run by the website Crap Towns
Returns, received more than 3,000 votes when they
asked for the country’s “crappiest towns”.

 The results will be cut down to 50 for the book
Crap Town Returns, due to be released in October.
One of the authors behind the survey, Sam
Jordison, said: “I know exactly why Hemel did so
well in the poll. I’ve been there once. And once was
more than enough.”
Hemel Hempstead came top of the poll with 785
votes, despite registering zero votes in the first few
hours of the survey opening.
Its near neighbour Luton could only muster 592
votes.

Jordison added that he was surprised that
Coventry didn’t do better after a number of people
wrote in to say it looked better just after it was
bombed than it does now.”
The first edition of Crap Towns, published in 2003,
sold more than 100,000 copies and provoked
outrage across the country.
Kingston-upon-Hull took the first unwanted
crown, followed by Cumbernauld and Mroecambe
The successor Crap Towns Returns is “back by
unpopular demand”, joke the authors.

Ugliest towns: the final scores

Hemel Hempstead – 785
Luton – 592
Slough – 352
Bracknell – 338
Birmingham -312
Camberley – 311
Coventry – 295

.Unusual: A Baby Gaga waitress serves the breast milk cocktail in the Icecreamists shop, Covent Garden When a well-stocked ice cream parlour says they sell every flavour, there are usually limits. But one restaurant in London is selling breast milk ice cream which is being served to customers in a cocktail glass. Icecreamists, based in Covent Garden, have named the £14 dish Baby Gaga. Victoria Hiley, 35, from Leeds provided the first 30 fluid ounces of milk which was enough to make the first 50 servings. But the company are looking for more women to provide breast milk - and are providing £15 for every ten ounces extracted using breast pumps.
