Luton: Britain's most boring town?
In a recent "phone-in" radio programme, the subject was raised as to which was "Britain's most boring town?". The name of "Luton" was raised more than once. As I recently had cause to stay a night in Luton, I thought I would give you an opportunity to make a judgement for yourselves.
Historically, Luton was Britain's centre of the millinary trade (indeed, the local football team is known affectionately as "The Hatters"). This old hydraulic hat-press serves as a monument to the former industrial glory of Luton.

...I once saw Peter Schmichel drop kick the ball out of the ground at Kenilworth Road (1991).

I went to its town hall during the Euro election and that was a stunning Art Deco building.
Well I think it looks fascinating. I just love that multi-storey car park. I wish I could have one.

The building is the college, now part of the Luton wing of the University of Bedfordshire! My, my.
