I loved Eric Morcambe.
Luton is a great Town, I spent 10 minutes there once, waiting for a plane to somewhere else. |

Well its a bit unfair to stereotype Luton this way as i am sure that if you ask most young people what they think of there home town they will tell you its crap,most town centers are but Luton is like a mini London all the same probs but just more concentrated due to size and like any other town across the country it has been subject to change lack of public investmest and a ever increasing tide of disfranchised people,i lived here for 20 or so years and have had both good and bad experience's the former being the majority of those i dont miss the town as much as i do the surrounding areas and of course all those people whom i have been fortunate to meet over the years its one of those places that has a very historical past and has been the seat of many rebellions throughout time it pulled in many tribes from various parts and indeed still does,much of its history has been concreted over and alot of the old town torn down mainly for business parks rather than houses for people still they will rip up your countryside for that soon and destroy even more history and bueaty widen the motorway extend the airport build even more businessparks trouble is theres too many people being cramed into not alot of space so it will only make it worse as it will elsewhere so dont lable Luton with this title because it could apply to any other town in the country,draw up a list of all the crap politricians(politricks) and name them guess what the would all be number 1 it is there lies and imposing will that turns nice places into crap due to lack of funding investment and general lies to get your X on polling day get real crap town writers dont make money with books based on other peoples misery that is victim of circumstance a lot of good and positive things happen in Luton |

Luton the Home of the best Santa!
"A Luton man is the world's best "Santa" after winning the Father
Christmas Championships in Sweden.
Ron Horniblew, whose grotto is in Luton Arndale Centre, took on 50
contenders to win the title in Gallivare. "
So Luton's good for something heh!

BBC are making a documentary about 'Crap' Luton!
Well there you go thats done it!
A BBC film crew has been in town. They have noticed
the fuss and have decided to feature 'Crap Luton' in a
documentary that is scheduled to be shown around March
2005.
They are featuring the views of some of the towns ethnic
minorities as well as the authorities official spin!
They are also featuring some of the local musicial talent
as well as taking a look at the Hatters!
The streets of Luton are not new to either the 'Small Screen'
or to various Hollywood Movies Usually car chases, bank robberies
or Four Weddings and a Funeral!
Luton also made history as the place where John Major, in
the Elections of 1993 (I think), after being pelted with eggs and
being Heckled,, got upon his 'Soapbox' for the first time, the rest
of course is history!
Ah ...sweet Lu'on!
