The Hell That Is Sunderland

Living in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear

I have to tell you of the Hell I witnessed called Sunderland. I was drawn there by an online romance. To get to my girlfriends house I had to drive through a salubrious little hamlet called PENNYWELL. I have seen a woman on the street in a dressing gown screaming obscenities at a man covered […]

Uppermill – Saddleworth’s Dumping Ground

Living in Uppermill, Saddleworth, Greater Manchester

I remember Uppermill as a kid when it was picturesque, friendly and village like. Part of the Saddleworth villages, it truly has gone down the sh*tter. There has always been a few good pubs there and the ner-do-wells from Oldham would come up on a Saturday, eat their ice cream in the park and then […]

Bradwell on Sea: Village of the damned

Living in Bradwell on sea, Essex

If when passing through the toilet bowl that is Latchingdon late at night, you took a wrong turn, got lost but kept on driving for 10 miles on that a road to nowhere, you probably had the misfortune of finding yourself at what seemed to be the edge of the earth, otherwise known as Bradwell […]

Wellington, Telford: A depressive hole of wasters

Living in Wellington, Telford, Shropshire

Wellington is a market town near Telford, in Shropshire in the West Midlands. And my God, is it a sh*thole. The market itself is decades out of date, with outdated tat that old people bric-a-brac day in day out. The entire street is swamped with run-down bargain stores and shops that once were, which are […]

Lincoln: The Cathedral and Holiday Inn city

Living in Lincoln, Lincolnshire

When I first saw Lincoln I was in awe at the sight of one of the most pretty cathedrals in Britain. However that was all but gone when I entered a city where the greatest monuments not on a big posh hill was a holiday inn, some office blocks (very sparse) and the holy Morrison’s. […]

Markfield: Christ, this place is awful!

Living in Markfield, Leicestershire

Perched just off junction 22 of the M1 is the village of Markfield… well when I say village it is actually a giant housing estate with an older centre. On the plus side you have open fields and pleasant walks around the area and of course panoramic views of the M1 for those wishing to […]

Glossop – I escaped this place as soon as possible

Living in Glossop, Derbyshire

After having been raised here since birth to a rare pair of parents that weren’t related to each other in any way, I escaped Glossop as soon as possible and haven’t been back in 20 years. I hear it’s been hit by gentrification now, but in all seriousness it really needed hitting by a particularly […]

Paignton is a toilet now

Living in Paignton, Torbay, Devon

Paignton is a toilet now. Some residents are friendly enough, the state of most properties is not that bad for a predominantly low economy area, however it is completely spoiled because most of its main roads are adjacent to several social housing estates. I’m not trying to demonise social classes, it’s a fact that most […]

Oldham – Drugs, Grooming and early death

Living in Oldham, Greater Manchester

I am not going to say that this manky Northern tip is full of ***** as it isn’t. It is full of ******* aspiring to become *****, it is that far down the social spectrum. Where to start is the main problem. Oldham was the richest town in the world at the height of the […]

Cockenzie and Port Seton, horrible people

Living in Cockenzie and Port Seton, Scotland

Cockenzie and Port Seton is a town in East Lothian, Scotland. The residents enjoy throwing trash on the ground, usually McDonalds or chocolate bar wrappers. Walk around one of the parks, and you will witness school kids throwing trash into the bushes. They can do no wrong in their parents eyes, they’re little Angels. In […]

Bexleyheath – a hive of villainy

Living in Bexleyheath, South London

So, I live in Bexleyheath. Growing up it used to be an okay town, it wasn’t too bad and there wasn’t enormous amounts of crime (not from my memory at least). I am now 20, and this area has completely changed. It is the hive of all villainy in the galaxy. Yobs, gangsters, roadmen and […]
