At the weekend I took my niece to Battersea Park Children Zoo. This "zoo" consisted of some pigs, snails, mice and a few token emus and monkeys. That was it. I knew it'd be small but when my niece was more interested in a pigeon, I knew something was amiss.

What's been your biggest let down?
Gutted.
Personally it's still the Grand Canyon. We drove for hours out into the middle of nowhere only to get relatively near it; and find out it was recently privatised and you needed to pay to see it unless willing to drive another 6 hours to get to the other side. Nope.
Thinking about the UK, Stonehenge has got to be one of the worst.
Cyprus,, The Tombs of The Kings,, a dump of a demolition site made for ripping off tourists. A series of holes in the ground where no kings were ever buried. They just made it up !
The Needles, Isle of Wight. The actual chalk stacks are OK (not that you can really see them that well unless you get on a boat).
But there is an awful mini "fun-fair", a horrible beach with special "coloured sand"...which have all been taken and popped into glass tubes to be sold to tourists, so the remaining sand is just brown
The Mona Lisa. It is the same as the photos apart from you are surrounded by sweaty tourists at the height of the french summer and it is behind super thick glass.

Haha I went there and it was really depressing. In fact the whole island is a bit run down.
For me it was Manchester City. People seem to love it but I found it ugly and unfriendly too.
I agree but people believe everything they hear. I've been to Manchester about 8 or 9 times and the first thing that got me was how small the city centre was, outside of it it's a complete dump as well, 'scallies' everywhere.
Also you are spot on about it being unfriendly, that's not a dig at the Mancs on here, just the Liam Gallagher-esque stereotype is pretty accurate. So many moody knobheads up there. Scousers on the other hand, are generally excellent.
I expected them to be bigger and more imposing. Honestly I was disappointed seeing how commercialized the area is with casinos and children's theme parks.
