Walsall: the garbage town of England

Living in Walsall, West Midlands

Have you ever seen a place that literally has countless ne’er-do-wells? Yep that’s Walsall alright. When you step into Walsall you will see bus drivers smoking 10 cigs a day. The women there look really ugly because they smoke loads of cigs. They plaster on make up and then ending up getting pregnant. Yes 13 […]

Trowbridge – The Detroit of Wiltshire

Living in Trowbridge, Wiltshire

First off, let me say that Trowbridge is NOT the worst town i have visited. In fact, it is home to some of the nicest people i have ever met. This fact however, doesn’t stop the place from being a dull, dirty, dingy, depressing, dilapidated, desolate, derelict dive of a town. It needs immediate demolition […]

Wiveliscombe: sh*te rolled down hill and collected in one glorious cesspit

Living in Wiveliscombe, Somerset

Wiveliscombe in Somerset: Well where do you start? Often described in the glossy tourist brochures (I jest – there are no glossy tourist brochures!) as ‘The Gateway to Exmoor, nestling in an amphitheatre of glorious surrounding hills’. Instead what we find is that all that collective sh*te from those glorious surrounding hills (and by heck […]

West Kirby: The Jekyll and Hyde of Wirral

Living in West Kirby, Wirral, Merseyside

West Kirby? Surely not! After all isn’t this the self-declared ‘St. Ives of the North’. A place on the coast boasting breath-taking sunset views, trendy bars, restaurants, opulence and all that is to be envied? Some would have you believe this town is a buzzing cosmopolitan settlement awash with millionaires driving supercars along the promenade […]

Wrexham – a terrifying spice-zombie filled cesspit

Living in Wrexham, Wales

If you enjoy horror movies, you’re going to love Wrexham. Once a popular shopping hub, that brought in people from far and wide with their choice of shops, to a terrifying zombie filled cesspit. Bodies line the pavement and fill shop doorways. Twitching, groaning and whispers of “spice”. Shops are long closed and boarded up, […]

Rotherham than me…

Living in Rotherham, South Yorkshire

Having lived and worked in many places around England including Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Preston (Depreston!), Leigh, Bootle & Great Yarmouth, all of which have their problems, I have to say that you have no idea just how piss poor a town can be. I was born and bred in Rotherham. I spent the first 25 years […]

Axminster: The worst town I have ever visited!

Living in Axminster, Devon

I travel around a lot these days, and have visited countless towns and cities across the land. I’ve been to places where I witnessed seagulls eating fresh sick, places where the desolation rivals that seen in war torn Aleppo. Places where you’re lucky to get out alive after 7pm. Yet none of them compares to […]

Plymouth, it’s only down from here

Living in Plymouth, Devon

I’ve lived in Plymouth for 13 years in January. Being born in one of the most dangerous cities in the UK, you would think you couldn’t get much worse, well you would be wrong. As you enter the city the first thing you see is “WELCOME TO PLYMOUTH, BRITAIN’S OCEAN CITY” Well for a start […]

York – From Hell to Middle Class Hades

Living in York, North Yorkshire

Been away from York for about 10 years and recently returned. So many changes to report. Something of a cycling city, my previous report bemoaned the number of teenager that would rat run the pedestrianised area, flattening anyone that got in their way. I presume that in the last 10 years these inappropriately attired (in […]

West Hendon – A greyer shade of grey

Living in West Hendon, North London

Hendon is a mostly ok place. It is one of the few places in London where there is still a butcher, a fishmonger and a greengrocer on the high street. There are also a couple of excellent bakeries that friends from outside the area insist on visiting when ever the pop by. It has a […]

Peterborough: oh for a nuclear bomb (or a really big bulldozer)

Living in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England

Peterborough. Well, what can I say about it? Like many other places in Britain it has very little left now that is culturally significant. St John’s church, the Cathedral and the Bull Hotel. Nothing else. The heart of this small (but nice) little place was ripped out in the 60’s and 70’s in the name […]

Llandudno: The Brown Town Of Welsh Resorts

Living in Llandudno, Wales

Llandudno was once known as “The Queen of Welsh Resorts!” Now its glory years are far behind it, with it now taking over “The Brown Town” title from Colwyn Bay and Rhyl. From the closed down drug houses on the Orme to Homeless and Drug users living in its caves, it’s a delight! Drugs and […]
