Midhurst: Come for the Chukkas. Stay for the Gizzard-rolling

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

Polo is this town’s main entertainment. Too bad it occurs only a few months a year. You get to see Gauchos being brayed at by chinless wonders smashed on Veuve Clicquot (they sponsored the local mallet-&-Horse extravaganza for a few years). I heard Katie Price attended once. She could’ve bustled in to the local tapas […]

Lewes – Brighton’s smug, narrow-minded neighbour

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

I have often have the misfortune to visit Lewes, county town of East Sussex. Indeed, I have even lived in the surrounding area, much against my better judgement.. Meetings down there make me desperate for the pandemic travel restrictions. It is mainly famous for a bunch of largely posh folks dressing up and burning the […]

Marlow: breeding ground for Narcissists

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

Marlow, Berkshire a town that now has more fake vegans per square metre than any other in the UK. Marlow used to be a friendly, welcoming place to enjoy and relax into but it is now blighted by narcissist residents. There couldn’t be a mirror big enough for the ever-growing self-obsessed population of Marlow who […]

Gillingham – Run down to the point of being derelict

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

I moved here from the south west for uni and unfortunately didn’t look around properly before I decided to come. Gillingham is a cesspit of a town, the crime rate is through the roof, it’s full of people on drugs and the kind of people that don’t believe In picking up after their dogs, resulting […]

Cobham: A hole once you see past the nice facade

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

Cobham is a town full of posh mummies who walk around carrying skinny lattes and tottering around in ridiculously high heels with handbag dogs. In the main high street you have waitrose. If you aren’t going into waitrose to buy premium stuff you are looked down as a piece of sh*t by some of the […]

Weybridge the wealthy town, but that’s just the council

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

Weybridge has always been seen as a wealthy town, a town for the rich and famous to reside but having lived in weybridge for quite a few years, it would seem [in the author’s personal view and not that of iLiveHere, take note EMC legal] the only real wealth is Elmbridge Borough Council. The rich […]

Gosport – godsport my a*rse

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

Where to start? Gosport has two faces, the rather pleasant areas of lee-on-solent and Alverstoke. Then you have the areas surrounding the two ch@v and single mother factories of Brune Park and Bridgemary. They produce generation after generation of scratters, the same people who proudly declare “I love gosport” whilst punching a minority, swigging some […]

Stoneleigh: residents ought to be stoned!

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

When buying our property in Stoneleigh, the estate agent bragged that “it’s such a nice place to live because there are no council flats here.” That pretty much sums up the attitude of the residents; working class folk who somehow think that they’ve “made it” and are holier than thou because they’re living in Stoneleigh. […]

Maidstone – Home of the angry white man

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

When people read about Maidstone online, it’s like any other Kent town – full of ch@vs loitering around McDonald’s and “full time mummys” swanning around with their oversized prams looking to steal more baby clothes for their little Tegan-Louise or Harvey-John. But, the thing is, these are things that you’ll come across in pretty much […]

Crappy Crawley – depressing hole of the south

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

Ahh good old Crawley… where to start? Let me start with the sh*thole county mall: the type of mall that not only favours fake mobile phone shops and cheap crappy clothing. It also favours ***** that desire ruining your shopping day by calling you a **** or a f*ggot. This mall is so bad for […]

Maidstone – The biggest moving mistake of my life

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

I have lived in Maidstone for exactly 14 months. I moved here with my wife and young son in 2019. The idea behind it was simple, we lived in Greater London and wanted to have a 2 bedroom house. We have no close family so a move this way wasn’t something we assumed would be […]

Maidstone – The town that progress forgot

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

You’ve got to feel sorry for the town planners who renovated Maidstone city centre in 2018. They tried extremely hard, pedestrianised the shopping areas to create what is in fact more than acceptable to look at….and at first look, you’d be forgiven for thinking it is ‘quite a nice area’. There are plenty of chain […]
