Spencer's guide to - my Litter Tray

TOP 10 WORST
OK I'm not talking the sort of litter that gets dropped outside MacDonald's now, I'm talking about the horrible deposits that are the very worst of Woking. Welcome to the (slightly controversial) contents of my litter tray...
1	The Planets/Big Apple
Utterly misconceived entertainment complex which has, despite what is on paper pretty good facilities (plus a couple of unusual planes), singularly failed in being somewhere the vast majority of people over 16 would actually want to spend any time or money.
2	Woking Station
Cunningly managing to be one of the best things about Woking and at the same time one of the worst. Perhaps if it were an attractive building, with displays systems not just installed but also working, and perhaps if the ticket machines were kept in order so as to avoid lengthy queues (especially at the weekend) then we might actually be proud of it
3	House Prices
Again something of a mixed blessing. Potentially good news for those who managed to get on the property ladder, but look in the local paper and you are unlikely to see a job advertised whose salary could possibly be used to acquire a mortgage on a house in the same paper. This can only lead to division and lack of diversity in the community.
4	Concrete centre
Town centre redevelopment comes at a cost. Even if Woking did have a cultural soul, people would assume it didn't because of the way the town looks. Some cafes and bars are now trying to make the place more cosmopolitan, but its an up hill struggle partly due to the town's architecture and layout.
5	Clipboard square
Officially named Town Square, for anyone who has to traverse it on a weekday lunchtime it is a minefield of researchers, fund-raisers, salesmen, and downright scam-merchants. Allowing your eyes to make contact invariably results in a futile waste of the next few minutes of your life
6	Sheerwater shop parade
In a complete contrast to the sleepy shopping parades in the other outlying villages, Sheerwater's is oppressive, ugly, and frankly quite scary. Designed at a time when community architects were making mistakes left right and centre, the towering flats above, the gloomy corridors to the flats behind all contribute to a grim place to shop.
7	Central pubs
Although there are a reasonable number of them here now, they all seem to cater for the same market of unimaginative, loud, chain pubs with extortionate prices. Notable exception is Wetherspoons, but they don't get off scot free...
8	Wetherspoons bouncers
Spoiling what is otherwise probably the town centre's best pub, these guys come from some neanderthal school of crowd control that still thinks its OK to threaten punters to get them out at ten minutes past closing time. My advice after 10:30 is to take your business elsewhere...
9	Humphrey Malins
Controversial choice #1 and statistically liable to offend at least 46% of the population is, our MP. One of the old-school MPs who survives off safe seats, declares an (un)healthy amount of outside income in the register of MP's interests, and has been known to air some dubious views in the commons (allegedly).
10	H.G.Wells
Controversial choice #2 as he has unwittingly contributed greatly to Woking's sense of identity, but there really is only so much that you can drag out of someone who came to stay for a year. After all where is the statue of Paul Weller or the mural of George Bernard Shaw ?
If you've got something even more worthy of my litter tray than the above, let me know. And before anyone gets offended, remember these are just the view of a cat ;-)
