Carlin How: it’s now like walking through Beirut

Is Carlin How a nice place to live or is Carlin How rough?

I grew up in the small village called Carlin How and I can say that I had a great childhood there, playing down the woods and camping up at “Texas” and all that, it was great! Yet to my surprise, going back there this year I was in shock and awe at what I had […]

Bedale is the red and grey brick cyst on the face of the otherwise picturesque Yorkshire dales

Is Bedale a nice place to live or is Bedale rough?

I must regretfully inform you reader that I have recently returned back to my home town of Bedale, which has recently been placed highly on a poll which lists several of the best market towns in the UK, somehow placed ahead of Mashamand Leyburn. And due to my connections with the town, and evidently by […]

Proud To Be From Keighley? Nah.

Is Keighley a nice place to live or is Keighley rough?

First of all, I’m not surprised that when I search “Keighley” on here, all that pops up is how terrible it is. It’s a shame I have to live here. On my walk home from school, I normally see discarded couches or the average dog poo. The council are too lazy to realise they need […]

Dewsbury- proof that evolution works both ways

Is Dewsbury a nice place to live or is Dewsbury rough?

After a mere 6 months of living in Dewsbury I still refrain from telling intrigued strangers where I live, instead informing them that I am from Mirfield, the relative haven about 3 miles up the road. Here is why…. 7:30PM: Daylight has left Dewsbury and it is time for me to make my way down […]

Morpeth: Is it really as posh as the posters make it look? No!

Is Morpeth a nice place to live or is Morpeth rough?

Morpeth. Is this town really as posh as the posters make it look? The answer is no. Morpeth is a horrible place to live. By day the town centre is full of stuck up posh twats. But by night it’s full of drunks that walk up and down the high street just looking for a […]

Normanton what a sh*t hole

Is Normanton a nice place to live or is Normanton rough?

I’ve lived in Normanton for over 25 years and I made the biggest mistake of my life moving here. Firstly it’s all about how rude some people are. Walking into town, is like walking into field head prison. Surrounded by mental weirdos. The worst part of Normanton is Smirthwaite, that area is so bad, that […]

Is Featherstone a nice place to live or is Featherstone rough?

Featherstone, or Fev as it’s more commonly known, is a town in West Yorkshire that is thriving with ***** who pride themselves on how much alcohol they can consume in one sitting and how hard their dad was in the 80’s. All of the town is a sh*thole but nowhere more so than the Priory […]

Mixed bag for Darlington (Darlo)

Is Darlington a nice place to live or is Darlington rough?

Darlington is truly a mixed bag. It consists of the best and the worst, and by the worst, I mean you’ll feel like you’re in Mogadishu or Baghdad. Unlike other nearby towns, such as Middlesbrough, Hartlepool or Stockton which are all universally **** throughout, Darlington consists of several okay areas in which you’ll find old […]

Middlesbrough, kiddos.

Is Middlesborough a nice place to live or is Middlesborough rough?

I’ve lived in Middlesbrough since 2014 and to put it lightly, f*ck this place. Now, I’m not going to generalise here but as a person who grew up in a quaint rural town in the south, moving to Middlesbrough was a shock to me in many ways. The town does have its ups, for example […]
