THE UK's "slobbiest town" is so bad that residents have claimed that the only form of exercise is drinking.
Although it's located along the idyllic River Medway in Kent, Chatham has an infamous reputation.
Already known as "home of the chavs", this year financial experts at Forbes Advisor have also crowned it the "slobbiest place in the UK".
Experts also added that it was the "worst location in the UK for exercise lovers", reports The Daily Star.
A recent study by Forbes found that Chatham residents are the least likely to walk or cycle when compared to the rest of the country.
It scored just 14 out of 100 in the fitness index – the lowest of any towns or city.

And residents themselves have admitted that it is a "s***hole" where the only form of exercise is drinking.
On the popular resident review site iLiveHere, one resident even labelled the town the "dog s*** splattered patio of the Garden of England".
In a fiery criticism of the town, one local says: "I’ve lived in Chatham all my life, because I’m a moron.
"Fortunately I’ve escaped to Chatham’s outer boundary, but the town centre’s foetid stench still wafts over my hovel when the wind direction is unkind.

Malcolm and his wife Leigh live in nearby Gillingham and occasionally visit Chatham for the day – but they are not very pleased with the town at all.
Malcolm said: "I don’t like it. Its reputation? Well s*** to put it mildly. We don’t like to come down here often, in fact, my wife Leigh hates coming down here.
"You can’t list the problems here, they’re everywhere. The ugly buildings, the people, the drinking, the drugs."
Malcolm added: "The only exercise they do round here is raising a can to their lips."
Another resident called Femi, from Nigeria, had just recently moved to the area and described it as "very rough".
He explained: "I only moved here last month and no, I don’t exercise.
"I have heard it’s a very rough place. A lot of people are drinking, I have seen some shady places and dodgy dealings, I keep safe and avoid it."
However, Femi did say he was going to spend the day photographing the "beautiful town".
