They'll never finish building Basingstoke.
Yes, but then I am out in the sticks of North Hampshire and it's my nearest town.
Still it was good enough for The Young Ones-

A fair bit that has been built wants knocking down and rebuilding tbf.
Aye. But only because my cousin made a computer game about it.

Yes, used to live near it. Went there as little as possible.
Sadly, it's where I bought my current car. So though I no longer live in the area, 'Snows of Basingstoke' is on the numberplate.

Yes I know, you took a year's course but you got expelled after three weeks didn't you, eh?

My old mate Colin, a massive lads fan, lives there so I go there if it's my turn to drive us to the match. My brother recently moved there too, from Winchester. Frying pan to fire...

Yes, between Reading and Winchester (roughly equidistant) on the M3.
Had the misfortune of spending quite a lot of time there as was the location of one of the first projects I was involved in as a Junior Surveyor (about 10 years ago).
One of the most nothing/dull places I've ever been to.

Played footy at the Camrose when I was a lad. Disgraceful what happened to their footy ground/team who were always well supported (for the level they played at).
It’s pretty close to Andover

I once went for a job interview there with IBM. Got there early so had a wander around the town centre and immediately knew that I didn't want to move there. Interview went badly so I left and have never returned.
