I go on a trip to Alton once every summer, Alton is a small town in Hampshire and is in fact, nowhere near Alton Towers. Its town centre has shops on only one street and it is so horribly boring, that I’ve had to read for recreation (I do like reading, but I really need more stimuli than that.) There is only one “club” in the town centre, but apparently there’s a strip club in Four Marks, which is just outside Alton. If you want to shop, you won’t exactly be spoilt for choice on places to go, and without an HMV etc, the only place to buy CDs or DVDs is the small Woolworths shop…oh wait.
The reason I keep going to Alton is because I go on holiday with a group and they always decide to go there; fortunately, we spend a lot of time in Woking, Basingstoke and London, using a place in Alton to stay the night.
It’s not exactly a quiet town, but nothing really happens there, so you have busy roads and it’s probably because Alton is in between several large cities.
In other words, Alton is a shithole, and my friends who live in Alton will surely hate me after reading this, I hope not, move to Plymouth!
So here is my guide for those of you who run out of petrol on your way to Basingstoke.
- There’s a very nice Thai restaurant called the River Kwai.
