  • The fact we have an idiom “sent to Coventry” meaning to deliberately ostracise someone should tell you all you need to know.

    I went to uni in that city; there isn’t enough money in all the world to make me go back there. City of 300k people with over 3k homeless. Utter monstrosity of brutalist architecture (the university library is based on a panopticon prison, I kid you not). And the ring road! Taking your life in your hand just merging into it!

    Absolutely insane amount of crime, with one of the highest rates of child sexual abuse in the country (for context, it’s crime index is about 20% higher than London’s). And I’ve never seen so many street walkers in my life! Plus they charge, I am not joking, £20 a go.
