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.
