"Thanks to a viral voting campaign on social media, driven by faux outrage in the local rag that it was even on the voting list, Dover just pipped Hull by 16 votes," iLiveHere.co.uk said of the win/loss.
"We have often been accused of ‘bashing the north’. Hopefully a town in the South East being voted the cherry on top of the s**t cake, puts that accusation to rest! Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote this year."

And lo, the world did keep turning.
The full Top 10 was:
10. Blackpool
9. Oldham
8. Sunderland
7. Gravesend
6. Bradford
5. Rochdale
4. Scunthorpe
3. Luton
2. Kingston upon Hull
