Been to most of these places and have visited worse. Eg LONDON.
Went to London before Christmas, felt very intimidated by no one understanding English even though they were speaking English? until I asked for directions.
Will stay north of Watford in future.
London not the same place I used to know 50/60 years ago.

I wonder if the people who were asked were residents in those towns?

Surely only residents were qualified to judge?

Makes you wonder whether every UK town was surveyed doesn't it?
