(Well I actually live in a village outside it but close enough)

Dylan Thomas famously described it as 'that ugly, lovely town' but these days it gets referred to as 'that pretty shitty city'

It is of course SWANSEA in South Wales.

Please, fellow forum members, add your own home town pics below. There is no prize, but the fact that you aren't from here is like winning the lottery anyway!
