Cottingham, we would love our village if it wasn’t so close to Hull

Living in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire

I think I can speak for the entire population of Cottingham when I say that we love our village. Or we would, if it wasn’t so close to Hull. There is a local school where very no paedophilia takes place, a local library where you can take out books and read them, and a Thursday […]

Bradford, the land of dreams, if you dream of takeaways & pound shops

Living in Bradford, West Yorkshire

Well where should I start with this one. Bradford, the land of opportunity, if its a takeaway or a pound shop you dream of opening. Oh yes there’s plenty of them and drugs and prostitution too. Well actually its an every day thing in some parts of this ********. Speeding supercars flying past every corner, […]

Hornsea, a posh town for posh peoples!

Living in Hornsea

Hornsea is an up and coming town! The posh big sister of Withernsea at the south and Bridlington to the north. The town is filled with hairdressers well practiced in the art of the shampoo and set, in fact it currently keeps static hairdryer factories in operation. If a 1950s barnet is not your cup […]

Harehills, Leeds, one of the worst places to live in Britain

I’m surprised that Harehills, in north-east Leeds, has barely been mentioned anywhere on this site. It has got to be one of the worst places to live in Britain.  It’s unbelievable to think now, that this was once an affluent area. People aspired to living here and it adjoined what was then referred to as […]

Halifax, the locals spoke in grunts and squints

Living in Halifax, West Yorkshire

On arrival at Halifax I asked for directions to the rugby ground. I soon realised that I would need an interpreter as the locals spoke in grunts and squints. When passing a row of derelict houses; well I thought they were derelict until I saw the natives emerging from the properties, strangely wiping their feet […]

Bradford is the stinking ar*e crack of Europe

Living in Bradford, Yorkshire

Bradford, in my opinion is the biggest hole in Europe, never mind the UK. With around 526,400 people in its district and most are drug dealers who roll around in their awful pimped up Range Rovers and people who just spend half of their life in Wetherspoons drinking away while claiming benefits. I come to […]

Goldthorpe, Bolton-On-Dearne, Wath – the Brown-toothed underbelly of society

Living in Goldthorpe, Wath, Bolton upon Dearne, Yorkshire

I’m not quite sure where to start here. You could start with the Brown-toothed underbelly of society that like to believe they’re from the close knit group of people ‘up goli’. You could also start with the Neanderthal inhabitants of Bolton, that love to loiter outside the particularly foul smelling Tesco Express, or go ‘t’ […]

The sad decline of The North

The sad decline of The North

It angers and saddens me a great deal to read the many obituries of once proud working and mining towns like Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Sunderland etc on this site. These were all places I was familiar with as a very young man back in the late 1970s and places I loved to visit and […]

Otley, the town that is well known as grotley otley.

Living in or moving to Otley, Yorkshire

The town that is well known as grotley otley. It is pituresque, with cobbled roads and a beautiful riverside… are you wondering what’s so bad about it? It’s quite plain and simple, simple being the operative word in this, THE PEOPLE! I’m now under the conclusion that the people in this town were once experimented […]
