OK, as an American "Peep Show" fan, I'm trying to figure out why people make fun of Croydon so much. I've noticed it online recently. On the show it seems like a pretty average place.
- DC-3 8y agoI think a significant reason for Croydon featuring in jokes is that it's simply a 'funny' name. Did you know that Peep Show was made in Croydon because the season 1 director wanted the show to have a slightly artsy European feel and thus wanted it to be set in a place with trams?

- multjoy 8y agoIt's really shit. It's an overflow town of London proper, and has no redeeming features apart from Ikea.
- twic 8y agoIt's also got that milkshake place in the big shopping centre.
- multjoy 8y agoAlso the highest rate of sexual offending in the metropolitan police district.

- JdeBP 8y agoIn the larger picture, it's not specific to Croydon. People have variously picked on Milton Keynes, Slough, and others over the years. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slough_(poem) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slough_(poem) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelmsford_123 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelmsford_123
