Last year it came straight in at an impressive 6, its eye watering 60's architecture and zombie like locals being the things that won over Kirsty and Phil. Now as we head into 2008 Mansfield has once again made it into the top 20 worst Cities to live in. Its impressive because its not even a city. Though saying that it has done a lot better, falling in at only the 9th biggest shit hole in the country. Nottingham is in at a respectable 4th (an improvement because last year it was runner up) which i think is a little harsh. At least Nottingham has got some nice places. Mansfield on the other hand has probably got a square meter of park that hasn't been graffitied or got a tramp living in it. You know a place is bad when all the postcards for the tourists (poor sods are cursing robin hood for choosing that particular tree) have nice pictures of the sky and the odd railing because the photographer was too scared of accidentally catching a bunch of Chavs in the shot and then been a witness to something. Don't get me wrong, I'm born and bred in Mansfield and that means it will always have a place in my heart. It doesn't mean however, that i have to be happy about it.
So thanks Phil and Kirsty. The mayor will once again curse you in his weekly newsletter and your show will probably never again be watched on stolen plasma screens in unkempt council flats in Ladybrooke. But your message will help the er.. tens of people who were considering a move to change their minds and go and live somewhere more picturesque like Baghdad or something.
