Coventry is officially City of Culture 2021 - but, I mean, come on - it's got nothing going for it.

Some people on the internet have said it's one of the most dangerous cities in Europe - so that must be true.

And now, according to YouGov, it's been confirmed - we're officially one of the least liked cities in the UK.

People say a lot of things about Coventry online, and it's all factually accurate. All of it. So never EVER come here.

Here are 50 reasons why you should avoid the city like the plague.

1. The city is a dump...

2. Seriously, it is. Just look at it.

3. It's the armpit of the Midlands.

4. There's absolutely no countryside...

5. ... or nice buildings.

6. It's a concrete jungle, and not the type where dreams are made.

7. There are no attractive historic buildings...

8. ... and absolutely no culture!

9. We haven't contributed anything to the arts and culture scene...

10. And nothing exciting ever happens in Coventry.

11. ... nope. Nothing exciting whatsoever.

12. We don't have any major concerts...

13. ... and definitely no chart-topping international acts!

14. We've never even hosted any international sports competitions.

15. There are no museums in Coventry.

16. And nowhere for shopping, either.

17. We definitely don't have a car heritage.

18. Have we even built anything?

19. Ever?

20. Have we ever invented anything?

21. We can't think of anything that Coventry has given the world.

22. Performing arts? In Coventry? Don't be silly.

23. Coventry doesn't have history...

24. ... or iconic images....

25. ... and we definitely didn't used to be the capital city.

26. If you're unlucky, you may be sent to Coventry...

28. We've no historical figures.

29. Nobody who has ever made a difference has originated from Coventry...

30. Nobody who has contributed to the arts...

31. Music? No, not in Coventry!

32. If there was, there'd be some sort of museum we're sure.

33. But anyway, all the success was decades ago anyway.

34. There's nowhere for music to be showcased, either.

35. And certainly nowhere to celebrate diversity.

36. Or anything that celebrates our multicultural city...

37. ... nope.

38. Beautiful canals? This isn't Venice.

39. It’s so bad, nobody even wants to be associated with it.

40. Sport? What sport?

41. No top-level sport around here...

42. None at all!

43. And if you DO visit, there are no nice hotels.

44. Or parks.

45. No decent pubs, either.

46. And certainly no decent food!

47. There's no decent treats, either.

48. Nightlife? You are joking, right? It's a ghost town.

49. Everywhere to go has been closed down!

50. Oh, and everybody is uneducated.
