Worst Cities in the World

Why wasn’t Venice on their list? The streets are always flooded and the venetians have done nothing about it for hundreds of years?

Wolverhampton can't be all that bad, doesn’t Robert Plant support the Wanderers?

aye, as does Suzy Perry

And went to Venice with the Wolves once in the Anglo-Italian cup thing, the place stunk!

no idea why Seoul is on that list, great lively city, has more feeling than Tokyo

Yep that survey is about right, plus all blokes in Wolves are gay

Everyone knows Dudley is the crown jewel of the black country and Wolves should never have gotten made a city

Not sure why LA is on there, Compton isn't that bad, assuming you drive through there quickly

As said though, what about the countries ran by dictators, etc?

Now that you ask, they’re in Colombia, Brazil and Mexico.

Ah, the cities, well they all have some very nice neighbourhoods are very friendly places to visit.

Fiddy Cent hasn't a clue what he's talking about. Those from Wolverhampton have it much worse than he ever did.

I get around said:
I'm surprised birmingham/ london/ manchester/ liverpool/ blackpool isn't in there.

Blackpool doesn't have city status. Fairly sure it would gain a place on the list if it did have.

It aint that bad, Cinderellas is though robbing gits!!

Since when was Blackpool a city?

Never, they applied in 2000 and 2002 and didn’t get city status.

Lol London? Are you actually mad?

"andy" · 31 Dec 2009 at 19:47

BloodyL · 31 Dec 2009 at 19:54

If you are tired of London, you are tired of life, so move to Wolverhampton instead.

TheTard · 31 Dec 2009 at 19:56

i'm sure mine is in there somewhere, oh wait, i live in a town =[

Chojin · 31 Dec 2009 at 19:57

The only people I know from Wolverhampton are either dead or in jail.

Methinks there must be a few screws loose.

Agreed on Tijuana but Rio is nice and Bogota is beautiful - just be sensible and whatnot, and you'll find it has great restaurants, good shopping, plenty to see

I lived there for 2 months or so last year - definitely an interesting lifestyle.

Security is a much bigger problem than anywhere else I've been, but it just forces you to be sensible and take things for granted.

That said, the shopping centre I went to nearly every day did get bombed the week after I left

I cant see how they can say that about wolverhampton, and not have cardiff in that list.

How can you say that about Cardiff? Have you ever been there? If so you should have gone to specsavers.
