Having lived in the area all my life, it's strange to think that Didcot is considered 'normal' . The town centre , which is populated by charity shops, and single mums in track suits chugging down faaags - seems very far flung from the American view that everything is all pride and prejudice on this side of the pond!

Isn't "normal" defined by a set of parameters? Unless you say that "normal" is, say, meeting three of five parameters and meeting four might make you "more normal". But then how do you get to be the most normal?
I say this from the viewpoint of never meeting any sort of criteria for normal.
Almost as bad as, "Man dies of natural causes" definitely a slow news day that day :-)
Me and the missus, and most of our friends used to call it DeadCat.
Says it all really...
However, in this case, the answer is right there staring you in the face. Didcot is statistically the most normal. That means that according to the criteria they selected (which are, again, mentioned right at the start of the article) Didcot's overall result is closest to the national average.
On the face of it, therefore, it's a purely objective numerical measure. That's not quite true, of course, because the selection and weighting of criteria affects the result; but if you read the research, I'm sure you'd find an explanation of their methods.
Ghost Town, of course, is Coventry during the early 80s. I know, I was there...
well, nothing ever happens in the towns down here, but if you see some of the natural born inhabitants of those towns, you'll quickly realise they are a long fuckin way from normal.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
