What is the worst... British county? on 08:23 - Jun 19 by IPS_wich | The only issue with the split being at Shenfield is that technically places Harlow into North Essex - and Harlow is one of the worst places in the country. If you make the split at Chelmsford then you can draw a line which has Harlow in the South Essex. Plus Shenfield is effectively a suburb of Brentwood and Brentwood is definitely London spillover. |
True - Ingatestone would be better. I think we should be allowed to move borders with other counties for places as well. I'd extend the Essex/Suffolk border to East Bergholt (it even has a Colchester postcode) which would also mean we get Higham, Stoke by Nayland and Bures as well as most of the Dedham Vale (even though Dedham's in Essex anyway). We'll also have the Shotley Peninsular. In return, Suffolk can have Cambridge to the west and Diss, Swaffham and Fakenham to the north. |  |

Ingatestone is about right - probably the precise place you move out of London Essex and into East Anglian Essex. |  | |  |

What is the worst... British county? on 19:28 - Jun 18 by Tangledupin_Blue | Surrey was my first thought. All those nothing towns... Redhill, Woking, Dorking, Kingston etc. Then I thought of Merseyside - just a giant toilet. And Yorkshire; a great place utterly spoilt by Yorkshire fowk. |
Add Camberley, Farnham and Frimley, where my company's UK head office is to that list. On the other hand, outside of the shlt towns there is some lovely countryside in Surrey, just a shame it is so thickly populated with all those stockbrokers and wotnot. |  |

Wasn't Manningtree and environs once known in estate agent speak as "Suffolk borders"? |  |

I think Kent is very, very over rated. The Thames estuary area is a dump, much of it is outer London and most of the rest nothing special. Garden of England my 4rse! |  |

What is the worst... British county? on 16:58 - Jun 18 by Herbivore | Berkshire is a good shout. Honourable mentions for Buckinghamshire (Wycombe is a dump) and Bedfordshire (Luton FFS) as well. Counties beginning with B are probably best avoided it seems. |
Oi, i'm from Bedfordshire ......... Oh .. hang on... seems you're riright after all ! |  | |  |

What is the worst... British county? on 18:02 - Jun 18 by giant_stow | Essex is hard to love. |
Yep, f*cking cesspit of the privileged, ignorant, entitled, vain, shallow and materialistic. I've met some lovely people from Essex but the culture in that county is f*cking toxic. |  | |  |
