Gillingham – Run down to the point of being derelict

Living in Gillingham, Kent

I moved here from the south west for uni and unfortunately didn’t look around properly before I decided to come. Gillingham is a cesspit of a town, the crime rate is through the roof, it’s full of people on drugs and the kind of people that don’t believe In picking up after their dogs, resulting […]

Maidstone – Home of the angry white man

Living in Maidstone, Kent with Angry White Men

When people read about Maidstone online, it’s like any other Kent town – full of ch@vs loitering around McDonald’s and “full time mummys” swanning around with their oversized prams looking to steal more baby clothes for their little Tegan-Louise or Harvey-John. But, the thing is, these are things that you’ll come across in pretty much […]

Maidstone – The biggest moving mistake of my life

Living in Maidstone, Kent, England

I have lived in Maidstone for exactly 14 months. I moved here with my wife and young son in 2019. The idea behind it was simple, we lived in Greater London and wanted to have a 2 bedroom house. We have no close family so a move this way wasn’t something we assumed would be […]

Maidstone – The town that progress forgot

Living in Maidstone, Kent

You’ve got to feel sorry for the town planners who renovated Maidstone city centre in 2018. They tried extremely hard, pedestrianised the shopping areas to create what is in fact more than acceptable to look at….and at first look, you’d be forgiven for thinking it is ‘quite a nice area’. There are plenty of chain […]

Dartford – I escaped

Living in Dartford, Kent

After dating for 3 years it was time my partner and I bought a house together. She growing up in rural paradise of Horton Kirby and myself growing up in Abbey Wood we plumped for somewhere in the middle – Dartford! At first inspection I thought “at least Dartford can’t get any worse!” How wrong […]

Chatham: the dog sh*t splattered patio of the Garden of England

Living in Chatham, Kent

Medway actually has a fair bit going for it. The North Downs and the River Medway on its borders, castles, forts, and cathedrals amongst its towns. It’s a testament to the residents commitment to crapness that, despite these draws, Medway remains the dog-**** splattered patio of the Garden of England. For reasons no one can […]

Dover Lifestyle

Living in Dover, Kent

Open Drug dealing is normally excepted in Dover. Crack and smack are easier to find than a good restaurant. Even the former mayor was filmed enjoying toilet substances. The local authority is [certainly not] considered the most corrupt by other local councils. My son was mugged in a park on camera nothing happened. Girlfriend beaten […]

Tunbridge Wells: seems posh but has a seedy underbelly

Living in Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Tunbridge Wells is a very odd town. It’s definitely a town of two halves: the haves and have-nots. Of course every town has its rich and poor (and everything in between) but the distinction is so obvious in Tunbridge Wells unlike anywhere else I’ve lived. There are some truly beautiful large houses in the town […]

Edenbridge: ruined by riffraff

Living in Edenbridge, Kent

Someone once had a great idea that rather than solve the inner city lack of council housing by rejuvenating derelict pockets in London, because mainly they couldn’t be arsed and wanted to offload the old bigoted flat cap cockney, they decided to spill over the riffraff and insert them into the newly built concrete country […]

Sittingbourne, oh the joy

Living in Sittingbourne, Kent

If you are considering moving to Sittingbourne, take my friendly and concise advice, and avoid it like the plague which manifests itself here. The place is a real sh*thole now. Disrespectful cheeky kids that are dragged up by **** parents. I work in the retail park, and the amount of litter that the sh*ttingbourne sh*te […]

Why not to live in Ramsgate

Living in Ramsgate, Kent

Ramsgate – a town that has so much to make it a great place to live. Beautiful beaches, pretty harbour, nice architecture. It also has a dirty town centre frequented by drunks at all times of day, lots of mobility scooters driven by lardy lumps sometimes driving one handed, holding a *** or a can […]

Dartford: once a thriving market town, now in decline

Living in Dartford, Kent

The once thriving market town of Dartford has been a cesspit for almost two decades now. As gentrification sweeps more and more of South London, more and more inner city ne’er-do-wells are pushed into its borders, primarily Dartford, making the place seem more like a rough South London borough, but at the same time the […]
