After trying to flog Portsmouth (the Waterfront City!) to Londoners for the past few months, the tubes are once again awash with posters saying we should all move to Corby instead (again - they were doing the same last year!).
It does look jolly nice though! 
Er, and not an Old Firm shirt in sight! 
Must be an improvement on this:-
A depressing series of roundabouts links an A road. Surrounding the road is a dismal mid 1970s shopping centre from the fuck you school of architecture. The only saving grace of this windowless concrete block is that that it melts into the slate grey skies that Corby always seems to have and almost disappears. Along the A road is a sprawl of Eastern European looking housing estates.
Corby still makes steel but not as much as it used to. A few years back British Steel conned a lot Scots from Ravenscraig to come down and make steel as their own works were to be closed. This was another false dawn and with their resulting redundancy money many set up taxicab firms presumably specialising on finding ways out of Corby. Thus you see no buses. And you are constantly being cut up by other drivers.
Corby's a shitehole as it is. The last thing we need is Cockney's.
Fack awf you fackin cants.

'Move To Corby'?
Hmmm... If I said what's on my mind it would be misconstrued.
I'm sure there are 'allegedly' worse places to live.
Maybe Dagenham.

I drive along the A14 about 3 times a week in the work van and pass the Corby exit.I've not once seen anyone take it
they've been up for a while haven't they?
I saw one last year when i was down, must be really touting Corby as the next up and coming Area, like they used to bang on about Brixton and Notting Hill........

Things always look so much more on an architect's conceptualization. On second look that shopping center, or whatever it is, actually looks rather boring.
I know what I'm talking about. Here in Canberra they develop a new town and thus town center every 10 years or so. On paper everything always looks so vibrant and colourful with cafes and pedestrians. The reality is very different. Only years later do they get around to fixing up their mistakes with opening up the malls, or creating pedestrian zones.

Looks like the place is ripe for pick-pocketing! No one looks ready for it in the painting... and they all look like they have new money
