Simister.

From Wikipedia -

Simister is a backwater village in the Metropolitan Aresehole of Bury, Greater Manchester. Historically part of Lancashire, it is located between the shitholes of Prestwich, Rhodes and Langley. The 'village' is located near to a motorway junction often called "Simister Island" which links the M62, M66 and M60 motorways. Thousands of vehicles a day use this motorway intersection, the drivers ignore the human rights stain unfolding just a hundred yards away as they trundle past, the hum from the traffic is often regarded as a welcome respite from moans of despair and wails of forgotten hope which eminate from behind every twitching curtain.

Even though the village's proximity to Manchester means the residential population is mainly made up of six fingered mutants borne of their fathers trysts with their aunty, the village keeps a rural feel with a steady number of sexual assaults on animals, and a weekly burning at the stake for any resident to express a desire to leave the godforsaken wasteland. The main thoroughfare, Simister Lane, is often used as an escape route for the enlightened before they are discovered and slain for any number of acts ranging from refusing to fornicate with close relations to using petrol fuelled vehicles and eating with anything other than their hands and feet.
