Northampton is one of the most backward towns in the UK

Living in Northamton, Northamptonshire

Just like others have posted about Northampton being a cesspit, I’d like to add that the council are so [*allegedly] backward (prehistoric imbeciles). It is run by Conservatives. I don’t know how they win the local elections… take a few guesses 😉 They were placed in special measures because they squandered so much money. No […]

Wellingborough, aka “Well Rough”

Living in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire

Some towns get articles on this site because of mass unemployment and petty (and not so petty) crime, others because they’re too small and underdeveloped to support any decent nightlife or culture. Wellingborough manages to do both at once. Once upon a time the town had a major railway depot, in addition to various factories […]

Northampton, also known as ‘Nofuntown’

Living in Northampton, Northamptonshire

If you are talking Northampton you are talking Abington Street to begin your visit, the once thriving and traditional main shopping thoroughfare having its teeth punched out, gaps filled with the perfunctory charity shops, pawn brokers, fast food restaurants and mobile phone repair shops (why is it only Afghans that work in those?) or simply […]

Daventry, the opposite of Hotel California

Living in Daventry, East Midlands

I went to school in Daventry and lived in a village nearby until I scarpered to London in 1997, aged 19. I couldn’t wait. Years later, I’m browsing Facebook and find out a school mate had made it to Australia, married and had kids. The other side of the planet! Desperate times. Others got to […]

Daventry, town of the zombie

Living in Daventry, Northamptonshire

This town doesn’t just bore the pants off me, it offends me. The locals don’t leave the town, have never lived, have no personality. Everything shuts at 5. Houses, charity shops, estate agents, repeat that 6 times and you get the gist…. Back in 2000 or 2001 I recall a woman starving her baby boy […]

Northampton: dangerous at night, unpleasant during the day

Living in Northampton

Northampton was apparently once a magnificent market town. But for as long as I lived there, there was nothing magnificent about it. I grew up in Duston, a village 3 miles away from the town centre. Between the stench of sewage, huge **** families lounging around on their front lawns with cans of cheap lager […]

Desborough – It amazes me how shallow the gene pool is

Living in Desborough, Northamptonshire

Desborough. It amazes me. It amazes me how much ********** there is in one small town. Extremely rude people, who are mostly incredibly dumb, arrogant and well.. a bit special. Do not move to Desborough or Rothwell. You will not be welcome. You will only be accepted if your girlfriend is also your sister. They […]

Northampton – where apathy rules OK

Living in Northampton

What can usefully be said about a town whose main claims to fame, as revealed by the briefest and most cursory of internet searches, appear to be a man who drives around the town centre blasting the decades-old Tony Christie hit ‘Is This the Way to Amarillo’ on his car stereo, an elderly woman with […]

Northampton, a turdhole too far

Living in Northampton

Northampton, once a beautiful little market town, now a turdhole, overflowing with the vilest human filth. When did this transformation begin? In my lifetime, at the end of the 1960s, when the gormless c*nts at the borough council decided to demolish anything of historical beauty and quaintness. They ripped out what was left of the […]

Rothwell: God’s Idea of a Joke

Living in Rothwell, Kettering

Rothwell is the kind of cesspit that will welcome you with open arms and a big hug, only so that when they mug you, you can’t run away. Rothwell square is the well known mating grounds for the ne’er-do-wells yokels. The local scooter gangs, colloquially known as “The Dezbruvs”, congregate around Restaurants and jet about […]

Kettering is absolutely dreadful and I’ve had to live here for 9 years

Living in Kettering, Northamptonshire

Well, where should I start? Kettering is absolutely dreadful and I have had the misfortune of living here for the past 9 years, luckily not in Kettering town itself. It’s riddled with crackheads, *****, grebs, ******, snakes and loads of 13 year olds thinking they’re bad because they stole their mums benefit money. So where […]
