If I could wipe it off the face of the Earth, I would....

[ste d' indica]

Why on earth were you spending it there?
All the lovely places around the country to spend it in and you end up in that hovel

I know mate, I know. Bad timing basically, we were driving up from Queenstown (we just couldn't get anywhere to stay there) on NYE trying to get to sort of Marlborough area and just ran out of time. I noticed it on the map and vaguely remembered Billy Connolly going there on his tour round NZ on the telly, so we thought we'll head there. Knew we'd made a mistake when we got some dinner and the waitress said 'WTF are you doin' in Greymouth on NYE!?' Ended up at a terrible party in a pub with nutcases everywhere, I nearly got into a fight with an anarchist.
Worst thing was when I phoned my Nan in Wellington to wish her happy new year, when she'd finished laughing at me she told me I've got relatives who own a nice hotel in Hokitika and we wouldn't have had to pay for a drink all night. Second worst thing was when I watched the Billy Connolly DVD again and he called the place 'Brokenarse.'

St Helens

If we can broaden out the terms to include concepts/things instead of locations, I'd wipe money off the face of the earth.

As in, all money. No cash, no cheques, no crazy billionaire "investment funds".

Just to see what would happen like.

Impossible concept.

St Helens

And. take out Rock Ferry on the backward swing.

Goodison park.

Impossible concept.

But we are in a thread that talks about removing cities from the face of the earth, so every answer is impossible.

We can imagine though!

i meant it in a practical way lol not a hyperthetical way

the minute you did, currency would have to be created again.

Not like wiping St Helens off the map lol

But what would the currency be?

There would be no gold reserves to back anything up, no debts owed, no mortgages.

I reckon we'd see an apocalyptic style free-for-all, or perhaps a return to the barter

Aye thats what i meant, bartering, so probably a bit wrong previously in my words

Can you imagine how long London would last in a mad max style environment? the north would march on them within the day lol

It's like they don't even realise @Baines' left foot lives in London.

Trevor in Wales. Stayed in some absolute holes in the world before, but the night I spent there was the worst in the Western World.

Think of the Star Wars bar... but worse!

It's actually called - Trefor mate, I've fished off the pier there many times. It's the most bizarre place in the world, as even though it's a biggish village you hardly see any local people out and about ,even at the height of Summer.

In fairness you could've picked any of the villages on the Llyn Peninsula, as they're all equally as a strange.

They really do hate the English in that part of Wales !

He's claimed southern citizenship now and proclaimed his love for the south on many occasions. All we need to do is tell him there's a woman that he's matched with on tinder in the middle of them and he'll topple them all to get to her.

The town of Holyhead.

It's the most inbred and frightening place I've ever been to in my life.

Stunning coast line and mountains, town full of inbred, violent, racist pyschos
