High Wycombe aka BTEC Slough

Is High Wycombe a nice place to live or is High Wycombe rough?

“Breaking News: Man stabbed outside church”, only in High Wycombe does someone get shanked in front of the Lord and half the population of Frogmore is permanently sh*t-faced and…umm…Desborough. The epitome of abject failure and never ending misery. When you get so lost you wind up in High Wycombe, you’ll have the sudden urge to […]

Abingdon or more accurately, “ScAbingdon”

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

Abingdon, oh Abingdon. One of the oldest inhabited towns in England is now one of the newest blights on civilised society. A Brexit-voting hinterland of Greek barbers who will willingly set your ear hair on fire for a tenner, punctuated by coffee shops that sell warm ***** and a historic centre that is a minefield […]

Didcot – a railway siding dressed up as a portal to real, actual hell

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

Didcot has a rich heritage revolving around railways and the golden age of steam. Sadly though, Didcot does not immediately evoke happy memories of trundling along the traintracks as your engine gathers pace. Instead it’s a foul excrescence of a town that seems trapped in a time-bubble that began on the 31st of December 1969 […]

Dartford: once a thriving market town, now in decline

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

The once thriving market town of Dartford has been a cesspit for almost two decades now. As gentrification sweeps more and more of South London, more and more inner city ne’er-do-wells are pushed into its borders, primarily Dartford, making the place seem more like a rough South London borough, but at the same time the […]

Gillingham – Lively Rubbish Bin of the South East

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

I’ve only been living in Gillingham for a month but I can affirmatively say this is the worst place I have seen in this country so far. Having lived in a depressing but peaceful Aberdeen, a wild but colourful Leeds and a picturesque but boring Warwick, I wasn’t expecting much from Medway. This whole area […]

Whitstable: get drunk, smell of fish and nearly get into 5 fights

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

Anyone fancy a day out of the realms of inner city life? Fancy a nice family weekend away? Why not come to Whitstable? With pubs and small pointless shops scattered all over the fish smelling, narrow high street; this town is a treat! With young coke heads who think they’re John Wayne either [definitely not] […]

Farnham – Surrey’s snootiest town

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

Is your son called “Alfie”? Is your daughter called “Molly”? Do you like to say their names very loudly in Waterstones at least 6 times in one sentence, e.g. “Alfie darling, you like this book don’t you Alfie, shall we buy it Alfie? You’d like that wouldn’t you Alfie? Molly come here darling, look at […]

Andover: gulag of Hampshire

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

Andover has to be THE most depressing town in the northern hemisphere. Twinned with basra it’s a literal melting pot of teenage mums/squaddies mattresses and blag pretend hard men. Half are wannabe squaddies who thinks the world owes them a living. They strut around the town centre with their pigeon chests puffed out and rab […]

Farnborough: where dreams come to die

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

Living in Farnborough is like living in purgatory; it’s neither here nor there. ‘The bargain bin of Hampshire’, I’ve overheard. The drab town adequately situates itself between having just enough shops to not **** oneself from boredom and too little homeware stores to purchase items to make killing oneself an actual reality. You’d think a […]

Avoid Crawley if you have a shred of decency

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

Anyone who lives within 50 miles of Crawley will be aware of its somewhat undesirable reputation. As a Surrey boy, I was less than impressed when a career move and a new relationship led to me having to rent a flat in the centre of town. Now, as I prepare to move on after around […]

Maidenhead: Not fit for a Royal wedding!

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

My birth place was Taplow but grew up here in the 70s and 80s. Famed for its picturesque river Thames views and mansions with homes to the Berkshire dwelling celebs of yesteryear and the filming at the town hall of the opening titles of ’Carry On Doctor’ after recently visiting briefly, this place has gone […]

Woking: good train links to London apart from that it’s a sh*thole

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

Woking is a large town in the centre of Surrey. It is only known for having good train links to London. Other than that, Woking is a complete sh*thole. Woking is home to some of the worst addresses including Sheerwater, Maybury and Knaphill, all littered with *****- usually aged 8 or so, acting like some […]
