  • Crap Towns: The 50 Worst Places To Live In The UK and Crap Towns II: The Nation Decides are a series of humorous books edited by Sam Jordison and Dan Kieran and published in association with UK Quarterly The Idler. Towns in the UK were nominated by visitors to The Idler Website for their 'ness', with the results being published in The Idler and in the books. A sister publication Crap Jobs was created by similar means, and Crap Holidays was published in October 2006. The books brought controversy, with many notable figures being quick to defend their respective towns. These included a number of MPs such as Michael Howard, MP for Hythe in Kent, which appeared at Number Four in the 2003 edition. In towns across the country, a number of local newspapers urged their readers to boycott the titles in protest. In 2006, The Idler website developed a 'Crap' section expanding upon the list of Crap Towns. Further nominations now include Bradford, Peterborough and Taunton although a third edition of the book is not mentioned.
