Thame, our little wildcard, nestled at the foot of the Chilterns is slowly being overrun by chain stores, overtly gregarious Polish men in doner kebab vans enticing already faintly obese middle-aged men to their early deaths by mystery meats, and a cancerously prolific abundance of very mediocre Asian restaurants and takeaways that all taste the […]

The worst places to live in South East England
Horsham, AKA Bore-sham
Now Horsham didn’t use to be bad. It wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad! At least this was what I thought when I grew up there and spent just under half my life there! It’s a bit like being given a rich tea biscuit every day and trying nothing else. You think the rich tea […]
Gravesend: Yea or Nay?
I was born and raised in Gravesend, I have only ever attended schools within Gravesend, and at age 17 I still live here. Something I’ve noticed is how if you were either born and/or raised in Gravesend you’re going to have a different opinion about Gravesend than if you moved here as an adult. The […]
Brighton – Blackpool of the South
I used to like Brighton. There was a feel to the place. A permissiveness that gave Brighton a bohemian feel and made it special. Unfortunately the conmen and incompetents known collectively as “The Council” obviously spent many happy days in Blackpool in their youth and have been hell-bent on destroying as much of the seafront […]
Totteridge: Where every Tesco comes with a bunch of ********!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the depths of hell? Then Come visit Totteridge where every 13 year old girl gets a pram bought for her at Xmas! Even though there’s a Tesco on every f*cking corner, unemployment is still through the roof, as you’ve got more chance of […]

A weary resident’s guide to Planet Thanet
We had been living in Thanet for nearly 5 years now, cannot wait to move away. If you can imagine a place that is the dumping ground for all that is wrong in society, Thanet is it. The locals take stupidity to a new level, just driving around you have to dodge motorists who drive […]
Dymchurch, a geriatric landfill on the south-east coast of Kent
Dymchurch a.k.a Grimchurch, is a small tourist village located on the south-east coast of Kent, Oh if only it were that simple. As a youth having grown up in this geriatric landfill I can say to any young family looking to move here, simply, do not. The product of a Dymchurch updragging is either two […]

Chesham! More Like Mayhem!
Chesham, despite having a charming Old Town, is akin to the seventh ring of hell! I have lived in this nightmare place for seven years now and hate, hate, HATE it! It is a haven for narrow minded gossips who ‘have’ to focus on the lives of others as their own lives are pretty empty […]
Kiddington – It’s pretty much just fields
Kiddington is a tiny village in West Oxfordshire. Surrounded by fields, filled with animals. You might think this the perfect picturesque place to live. Well, let me tell you. The entire village hosts not one single shop, so if you plan on living here get used to the idea of buying a tonne of food […]
Hastings, the new Shangri-La for London’s vulture lower investment class
With each new article in The Guardian, there’s more of them. Down-from-London (DFL) types or F.I.L.T.H (Failed in London Try Hastings), wandering around the Old Town at weekends, peering in John Bray & Son’s window after visiting the Jerwood Gallery. Their first visit to what they see as a quaint fishing village, with actual working […]

Faversham, Kent, avoid this dump like the plague
Faversham kent, a seemingly quiet country town? Don’t be fooled, it does however, possess a community website frequented by gangs of old age moaners who take offence at the slightest disagreement with their cliquey rules. They are a pack of wolves feasting upon a piece of carrion. Several notorious housing estates dot the area like […]

Brighton: ruined by Trustafarians & middle aged hippie consumers
If you’re looking for a place by the sea that pretends to be a mixture of San Francisco and France, you’ve come to the right place. Brighton has the truly unique and incredible selling point of being home to pockets of easy-to-identify clans. I won’t bore you with details of the homeless crack beggars (you […]
