Telford was developed in the 1970s as a 'New Town'.
Keen not to repeat all the errors that made other new towns such dreary crime ridden dumps, such as Milton Keynes or Stevenage, Telford Development Corporation came up with some new and refreshing mistakes all of their own, making Telford possible the biggest planning disaster in the whole UK.
In addition to being the
chav capital of the UK, it has the world's largest Primark store, the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the solar system and has only about 30% of the population in employment. These are all
Polish.
It does have some
good features. Every year without fail it wins the league table of 'The Most Godless City In The World' (True) having lowest rate of Christian
Church attendance in the known
universe, even beating Tehran.
