Are you still banging on about Crawley?
Leave it alone. Come over to the Murray thread.
My criticism of Crawley is only about the locals. Most pubs are shit. Apart from that it has plenty of other benefits

No, I mean why would I on a Crawley thread?
Are you the Mayor?
I like Crawley. As others have said it's not a classically beautiful place, but it's functional and not too shabby. Plus it does strive to improve itself and it's not frightened of major development.
Best of all though, being a progressive, forward thinking town it has NO Greens on it's council. That means that Crawley as a whole has a much lower proportion of reactionary middle-class wankers and is far more friendly towards visitors than Brighton.

Yes it is. Worthing has eight letters while Crawley only has seven.....

Shoreham should become a Principality...a bit like Monaco
You could cut Shoreham Beach off and declare independence.

Not one of the country's more obvious candidates, one would think
The local MP thinks it's worth a go though

(Meanwhile, speaking of uninspiring concrete housing estates, Milton Keynes celebrates the 50th anniversary of its founding today, and is trending on Twitter as a result (#MK50). To commemorate the occasion, they're going to find a much-loved old statue from another town and steal it)
Probably up there with Jaywick, being awarded cultural town for 2017 or the Gaza Strip being one of TripAdvisor top ten places to go!

Oh good the annual slate Crawley thread, for what it's worth, it has its good and bad points.
Ok it's not the prettiest town and yes it has its fair share of degenerates but so do most places, Brighton included, but it has its good points too, lots of open public spaces, lots of amenities, a fantastic leisure centre, and me personally, well I can open the door to my house and stroll straight into tilgate forest and walk for miles or have nice round of golf, a spot of fishing or even some water sports on the lake.
