At last, a Friday conundrum

Come friendly bombs, and fall on Slough,
It isn't fit for humans now

wrote John Betjeman in 1937, in 'Slough'.

What's the equivalent? Where should be abandoned, left for the birds and things that crawl upon the earth? Walsall? Los Angeles? My friend Richard campaigned to Keep Tredegar Shit - not a difficult task.

I was waiting for someone to say that. All of it? Or specific districts?
