The Telegraph claimed Slough was Britain’s Ugliest Town, so I popped along to see how bad it really was...
Hiya Ed!! 😊Kx
Good choice slough is awful
Why did you only go to chains like Nando's and Starbucks instead of trying the local cafe e.g. Lucy's and local Asian food which has much better reviews than Nando's?
There is far far worse !
🗣️📢 ""Slough is a 💩🕳️, I wanna go home. Slough is a 💩🕳️, I wanna go home!!!""
Bonus post: i once walked from London to Slough along the canal. When I reached the slough basin, it wasn't as nice as other basins. Nearby I saw a girl getting chased and terrified by a friendly but aggressive looking dog. When I got to the basin, there was a rat eating a piece of dog shit. Then I went to whetherspoons.
Perfect day out then 😂
😂😂😂😂
You ever thought of being a tour guide Jimmy? 😁
Lol. 😂 x
I was the girl! I wasn't running from the dog I was just trying to escape Slough
Thanks Ed. I was going to book a Mediterranean cruise, but I think I'll jack that in and go to Slough for a week.
Amazing how Slough reduces a perfectly civilised man to being fascinated by running water
"Birds tweeting, people walking, drugs dealing" Genuinely made me laugh out loud. Great video again Ed
in the 70s my grandparents lived in slough, My memories are bland houses, bland gardens, uninspiring buildings, banal bland areas, factory lined streets and smoky working mens clubs (that I was taken to) next to the factories which had their own fog from the amount of smoke in them and copious amounts of flat tasteless lager.
I see nothing has changed!
There is a fundamental reason Slough is so quiet, as may be over half the population cannot go out unless they are accompanied by a chaperone.
spot on lad
Wow! BRILLIANT that you have a sponsor for your channel. Well done.
I've heard some bad things about them 😕
@@MargaretUKlet the man make his money. You enjoy his videos clearly. Just let him take the win!
@@milliehawthorn3114 Wasn't having a go at Ed, likelihood is that he doesn't know about them, but it's good to see him getting sponsorship 👍
@@MargaretUKif he’s promoting them, he should know about it
@@milliehawthorn3114they are basily collecting peoples medical data and selling it on is what the other person i think is referring to. Idk why people dont just go to the doctors and opt for the free counciling services they provide, they are brilliant and no obligation
slough will always be GOATED for the UK Office 🙌🔥🔥
Or Ali G if you're old 😂
@@YTNat83wasn’t that Staines?
At this point you'd make a great UK tour guide
Ed Chapman, minister for tourism 😂
Think the grey city of Aberdeen, (also known as the Granite City or Aberdoom as locals know it) beats that hands down.. everything is grey, damp, cold, empty and depressing. Once I asked a German tourist in Scotland how was his visit to Aberdeen, he answered, “grey city, grey sky, grey sea and grey people” lol 😂😂
Proper Journalist is our Ed
A classic poem, and not a single mention of The Office. Now THAT’s impressive! Good work!
Not a depressed duck, but a morbid moorhen 😂
Your naivety impresses me stay that way!
Mate I hope this channel explodes up. It's such a hidden gem and your commentary on stuff is hilarious, all the best dude. 👌
I truly think Nando's is one of, if not the most over-rated restaurant in the UK. The food is mid, at best, and is 100% not worth their prices. I think if it wasn't for all that “go for a cheeky Nando's” rubbish that was big a few years ago, it wouldn't be nearly as popular.
So you don't thing £7 for a side of coleslaw is good value?
Already watched it on patreon. Its great and your missing out if your not a patreon member
Think i’ve watched every single one of your videos in the past week or 2
love your videos ed keep up the good work
Squirrel mugged you right off.... also looked liked you took a step back when it turned to look at you 😂
"I'm the kind of person who throws shopping trolleys into canals" - Toast of London
Were you deliberately channeling you inner David Brent when you were in Slough? 😁
every time i read one of these grimmest town titles I expect to see my town or one of its neighboring towns appear in the video
15:04 “Let’s go have a look for that” *cuts to him in the exact same spot*
24 hours in Slough is cruel and unusual punishment for a crime you didn’t do.
Rhyl? Haha Keep up the great work Ed! You inspire me!
please continue these town reviews they are incredible 😀
I’ve been waiting all day for this!
All I remember Salt Hill Park for is a murder that took place there. (I live a few miles down the road). I used to work in Windsor and a colleague claimed she lived in West Windsor. The place is actually called Chalvey, and if you thought the town centre in Slough was bad you ain't seen nothing yet!!
Those "ducks" got so depressed they turned into moorhens.. 😂😂
The buy your own gravestone - OMG! Ed, you are so funny and never fail to deliver fantastic content! And well done on the sponsor! Your content always starts my day off on a great note! 😂😂😂
Ed you certainly have the gift of the gab ! Always enjoy your vids ,you cheer me up 😂
I grew up in slough for a few years during my teenage years , funny story was my school was in slough and for my a level geography we had to analyse that poem you read so this video was quite nostalgic 😂 Slough is very boring indeed but there are some really good things such as the Slough ice arena (decently priced and high quality ice rink) and rock climbing/swimming in one place. Good location to London, Windsor and Heathrow airport as well as multiple Grammar Schools and superstores nearby (Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda). Aside from that, me and my friends always just head to Windsor or London for activities since the high street is a joke there is literally nothing to do and everything closed down. It’s just filled with takeaways and gambling and niche independent stores.
BASICALLY a good place because it had great access to get out of there
That squirrel is a subscriber to your channel 😂😂Great video as always. Love the first sponsor for the channel.
I think what’s blowing my mind the most is learning that in the UK, it’s called TK Maxx. (It’s TJ Maxx here in the States.)
Yep, true. There is a reason for that but it's so boring I've forgotten what it is.
And penneys is primark too!
@@littlemy1773 It's only called Penney's in the Republic of Ireland, everywhere else in Europe (including the UK ) it's called Primark.
@@katewolfspirit6722 like how Poundland is called Dealz in Ireland.
It's about that Tj Hughes shop right?
Is it just me, or did Ed channel his inner David Brent in that hotel room? 😅😅
Was excited to see you in Grimsby (my home town) after looking at your title! Disappointment mixed with relief although it’s essentially the same place but better after watching this 😂
One of your best videos yet, absolutely brilliant and hilarious 🤣
Best solo youtuber going at the moment!
A great video once again. You’re smashing this!
This channel deserves more subscribers. Iv watched every video
"you're the only cabbage around here John" took me out for like 15 minutes. I had to pause the video. 10/10 give ed all the comedy awards
That line is from The Office. The original scene with David Brent reading and reacting to the poem is fantastic, and most definitely was being referenced here.
Love that you had to clarify that Michael Jackson wasn't buried in Slough!
I liked your video bro before I seen it!! That’s how confident I am. 👍🏼
St. Lawrences Church and its leaning gravestone was worth the trip on its own!....oh, and all those pervy seagulls, of course!
Recently found your channel and think you're brilliant! Please at some point visit Chatham on your tour of most grim towns!
Can already tell this is going to be another belter.
I’m convinced Ed is the love child of David Brent and Will from Inbetweeners.
"Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough"... And him a knight of the realm 😂😂😂
Yeah seen that building many a time from the M4 motorway. Not sure if it makes it a wonder of the local area though. Always thought it was an office building.
I see a lot of Alan partridge in your style and humor, brilliant and very funny Ed😂
Come to bridgwater its apparently the 'most dangerous town in Somerset'
nice Brent tribute with the Slough poem ;)
Keep the shoes on if you’ve got wholes in your socks😂 love the videos Ed, keep them coming
Take a shot everytime he says slough. Dangerous game 😂
I wondered why that Tesco seemed familiar, I had a training course in Slough and forgot that was where it was!
We need a wales edition of this!
I lived in Slough for a year. Couldn't get out soon enough! Still, nearby Burnham Village and Windsor are pleasant. As for Slough, great if you want fried chicken and to cash your gold
Slough is the north of the south, but like North London, Luton etc places where people don’t want to live but has half decent travel into London
For me the most beautiful place in Slough is the station building. Cute, I think--even Betjemanesque.
"So, where did you grow up?"
"Slough."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
Don’t judge the south from a visit to Slough. I live in Bristol, it’s beautiful.
My favourite is that you visited a town and called it a city the whole time 😂, great video and 20+ minutes thank you
Incredible isn't it 😂 20+ minutes just for you!
@@EdChapman23 honoured
Reading would like Ed to visit then if he calls it a city for the whole video
You make me laugh so much lol 😂😂😂😂
Been waiting for this video
You need to visit Bolton town centre, particulary bradshawgate for a night out! Grim
Nandos prices are nuts in the UK. That would cost 7 pounds in South Arica
Beautiful poem!
Love your videos! never fail to make me laugh 😂
Oooo you should go for a walk down Coventry canal. Starting at the canal basin in Coventry city centre. It’s… beautiful?
Wow Ed! Bloody good poem! Multitalented you are! As for Slough .....Mmm it's a bit depressing, mind you I've not been to Luton yet. I only really know Luton for its airport but if it's even worse than this place? I'll give it a swerve. Very entertaining as usual. Never been more delighted in so much you have got yourself a sponser! Why don't you treat yourself and go to a good place next time? I'd suggest Manchester but I'm a bit biased! Liverpool has some gorgeous architecture and it's very vibrant and friendly ☺️✌🇬🇧
The main mans back with another banger nice 1 Ed 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The David Brent comes through more in this one. Must be Slough effect.
You should come to torbay, its grim down here, makes slough look lush 😅
Torbay really isn’t that bad, certainly better than Slough, yea the top of town isn’t great but everything else is fine
@@LiamBonner-qg3xg If thats your opinion then thats valid. But for someone who is raising children in Torbay it’s a shit hole with nothing to do but have a coffee and look around a charity shop..
@@BanoffeeCheesecakeThere are far worse places than Torbay.
South hams and Dartmoor right on your doorstep...
19:10 isn’t a duck, it’s a moorhen 😂
Nah, duck
Good video mate! Seems not too bad tbf but maybe thats as im from Dover
Well done on the sponsor Ed. You ever thought about doing the worst rated pubs in the UK? Peak time though. Friday 9pm.
You should have inserted “The Office” theme tune Mr David Brent 😂
Liked the seagull bit! I wanna play table tennis there, whip everyone, get drunk and walk off laughing as usual.
Try Walsall in the Black Country if your brave enough, makes slough look like Florida
I do need therapy, but I think your hotel view here would cure me, as would the beautiful baggy canal. I'm howling at the best part, with the coat and lovely lake.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Another classic Ed Video
Ed I love your content but...we need to speak about 17:33
Water Companies in England and Wales released untreated sewage into English rivers 301091 times in 2022....
Its even more disturbing when you look into the total hours of discharge.
Thanks for not ignoring this issue!
no suprise, slough being slough🤣
Been waiting for you to upload 😅
All the litter and garbage reminds me of a holiday i took to Corfu when we dody a day trip to Albania in 2000. Thr place was covered in garbage, including a really nice beach. But at this time Albania was very poor. It was shocking to see but understandable.
Unfortunately, Britain now looks like that town in Albania.
Maybe when places become poor then people just throw garbage everywhere. It certainly seems that way.
wicked vid as usual Ed, please do a video in my home town of saaaaaaafend on sea in essex :)
When you coming to Hull lads of colourful places round here for you to film🤣
I used to live in Slough 10 years ago. My house more or less backed onto Herschel Park, which was nice. But Slough is where all young people move out of family homes in Windsor and its all they can afford. It was better 10 years ago though.
idk how you’ve not mentioned the icon of slough, David Brent, also please go to cornwall, i’m not from there but would be great to compare to the north haha ❤
great video though mate!
Great video again. Shame you had to go to Slough for it
I used to have an American boyfriend (a long time ago) and I told him that Slough was pronounced 'Sluff' and he believed me. Also, a fun fact for you - Ricky Gervais wrote a song about Slough, it's easy to find on TH-cam 😊
Got to love a good swamp Ed!
Well done ed another great video as usual top stuff
Darren the duck just took it out on Tracey 😂😂😂
19:18 peak Alan Partridge moment. You are a much more pleasant, yet equally entertaining version of AP :D
God I actually love this channel.
love the vids
Okay, so the Telegraph says this is Britain's ugliest town and - canal notwithstanding - it doesn't seem that bad; so perhaps we should assume they never went to Cumbernauld and that Slough is just the ugliest place that they dared send their reporters along to. Actually, they must have skimmed over most of South Wales when they were at it - and Weston-super-Mare, and a lot of other places, too.... I reckon its biggest problem is that there's absolutely no geographic feature to draw your eyes away, whatsoever - because the entire county resembles a flippin' billiard table!!
Great vid as usual 🎉😊
When you go to these places, you should try either local cafes or shops instead of chains and maybe link in your worst to best series of food.. just an idea
