The worst places to live in Greater Manchester
I luckily don’t live hereabout, but have been coming to see someone weekly over the last four years in this place called Bolton. I consider myself quite well travelled both in this country and abroad. I have witnessed some appalling places and sights in my 58 years, but with hand on heart, I have to […]
I lived in Bury from 2014 to 2017 and it was a real eye opener. Bury has its own perfume – Eau de Weed which is particularly noticeable between the Spotted Cow and the Old Crow on Bell Lane. These two pubs host their own live shows every Thursday to Sunday – ‘Night of the […]
I spent a great deal of my formative years walking feverishly around the narrow field-bordered streets of Shaw, and found it difficult to describe to friends who would visit just why the place was so awful. To the untrained eye the hamlet seems quaint and even welcoming – this is a false perception. When I […]
Failsworth a Town of two tales, one of hard working individuals and the other of Lazy ****** child production line pond life, where the only job people have had, is going to the job centre to Sign On. A place where some people will go to great lengths to not pay the 5p bag charge, […]

You’ve seen the film ‘You, Me and Marley’? If not, it’s set in trouble torn Belfast and specifically a terrorist controlled, nationalist ghetto with no respect for law and order on its streets. Well, the film makers decided Sholver was the perfect setting for this film. No, seriously. Sholver is essentially a giant council estate […]

If the people make the area then Saddleworth is the tumor in t’moors. Formerly within the Shire of York, before being sucked into the Greater Manchester sewage farm, our rural parish is not only in a conflict of which county we’re in but there is also an all-out war between the feral, drunken youths and […]
Come traveller, take my hand as I drag you along through the dismal suburban winnit that is Droylsden. Situated just four grime-strewn miles East from the sprawling metropolis that is Manchester, Droylsden hosts a wide variety of sights and experiences that make it a fine place to leave. Let us begin with the very heart […]
Bury, the inconvenient spec on the Manchester A-Z, is home to what is erroneously named the “Famous Market” which is such a glorious shopping zone that it’s “Word Renowned”, well I asked somebody whilst on holiday with my paternal family in Pakistan “Did you know Bury Market” when I was asked where I reside. Bluntly […]

Prestwich is a suburb around 4 miles North of central Manchester, and until 1974 was a unitary authority until being inexplicably absorbed into Bury with the formation of Greater Manchester. It has been going downhill ever since. Prestwich is filthy, the pavements are covered in dog ***** and litter. It is so bad that at […]

Middleton. Some say Rochdale, some say Oldham. But no matter where you classify Middleton, it’s still a ******* ********. First of all, the one thing you must learn about Middleton is that no matter where you go whether that be Langley or Boarshaw, you will still be able to smell the pungent aroma of somebody’s […]

Radcliffe can trace its roots back to the Stone Age, archaeologists having found the remains of a settlement at the junction of the rivers Roch and Irwell. Radcliffe was mentioned in The Doomsday Book in 1066, centuries before our better known cousin Bury had even been thought about. Radcliffe was also mentioned in reports of […]
