Torquay, I make it my mission in life to be as awkward as possible when dealing with anyone from Torquay. I have an irrational hatred for the place and anyone who lives there.

Lol ! I worked for Mutual Clothing and Insurance in Leicester many years ago and we had a Branch in Corby. I'd often volunteer my day off to help with deliveries there, everywhere you went all you could here was Scotch done on purpose to wind any sweaty socks up accents.BimboBob said:Corby.
I ran a company there once and we interviewed for drivers mates. The only criteria was that they could read a map. First bloke walks in, I check the form only to see he has put Scottish down as his nationality but was born in Corby. When I ask him if he has ever set foot in Scotland he says no. English then I say, crossing out his answer. He started to twitch. I asked him if he was ok. Aye was his response.
I then gave him a map and asked him to get me from A to B via the quickest route. After a lot of humming and aaaring he put the book slowly down on the table, got up, and told me to fuck off you English **** and left the room.
A one off I thought. The next bloke will be better.
How wrong was I. 20 applicants came through the door that day. 18 of them with broad Scottish accents but had never set foot in the place. 15 of them couldn't read a map. 3 tried but failed. 1 took me on a magical mystery tour. 1 got it right.
God I hate Corby.

Wisbech is another. Weird place where you'd expect the locals to speak another language. Give me 6 brother.
Anyone any stories of places they wouldn't go back to?
