Good article in the magazine from the editor of GQ, basically says he got lost en route to cheltenham, spends half the article saying its the worst town in england and then the other half saying it should be the next european capital of culture, as apparently the 2nd safest place to live behind Guildford, be worth catching if anyone can find it

Ugliest town in England is a bit harsh, he clearly hasn't been to the thriving metropolis that is Hartlepool.  :nuts:

Dylan Jones editor of GQ  - he's done this before - is this an old article? - it is quite easy to get to Cheltenham from junction 15

So basically this bloke is a navigational mong, unable to follow major routes, use satnav and/or read maps and we're supposed to take his sage advice. Fuck off back to Islington with your metrosexual ha-ha-ha-ha we're so fucking clever mates. Then try working for a fucking living.

He has obviously never ventured north of Cheltenham then, "Oh heaven forbid going to a place that people buy those disgusting fish and chips with that green mushy pea thing....yuckers, Rodders where is my caviar?"

I had to look up 'Anaglypta'.

I don't think there are too many of us who would disagree with his point that Swindon is ugly.  I hate all that bloody pebble dashing as well.

But what gets up people's noses is that Swindon is surrounded by poncey towns that think they're better (Oxford, Bath, Cheltenham to name a few), and that there's now yet another journo with connections to one of these places having a pop.  And he probably thinks he's saying something new.  Tedious.

- Turn off M4 @ J15.
