The Idler's 50 crappest towns in England, with the fine quote about Dagenham:
"Dagenham's Council has a remarkably enlightened attitude to Art, having obtained the sum of 9 million pounds to spend on the Arts, it gave the entire sum to just one artist to create a vast public work of art.... Further information on this work (although not sadly about the identity of private-public partnership that is getting it's hands on the 9 million), can be found at www.a13artscape.org.uk - of particular interest to the connoisseur is the fine collection of un-rebutted sarcasm to be found on their the bulletin board."
