The worst places to live in Cornwall
Having lived in Looe now for 5 years, and moving back to Cornwall as a one time refugee of the depressing hinterland of West Cornwall, I find my feet planted in Looe, what a place. There is a facebook page called Looe Moaners. It is mainly populated by local xenophobes who complain about tourists, dog […]

Liskeard, Cornwall and all its sly little outlying villages, if you move here to “better your life” then it’s the biggest mistake you will ever make. The people who live here (and there family who’ve lived here for 1000 years and they don’t let you forget that) are horrible! Rude beyond rude! The only people […]

Saltash, on the face of it appears to be a middle class, family orientated town which welcomes visitors with open arms… But, behind the smoke lies a cruel, jealous, vindictive town, that can strip the few decent residents bare in seconds, should they ever show any level of decency in public. The shop owners reflect […]

Imagine it. You’ve just finished an epic, 300 mile bike ride. You’ve raised £2500 for Cancer Research; you’re ecstatic, you’re feel infinitely happy. Then, it all goes wrong. Heading to the final campsite, you turn left rather than right at the roundabout. That’s what happened to us: four teenagers on bikes unknowingly venturing into the […]

Falmouth is an interesting town. Vibrant, with a lot going for it. Numerous beaches and yacht havens. Yes this may seem like an ideal place to be, but there are areas that blight this town’s image. The worst places have to be Old Hill and Acacia. Two estates where the **** of the earth live […]

Well, you could say that Redruth is a small mining town in the heart of Cornwall, set around a red river and beaches. But step afoot in the town centre and you will be hit with an influx of 6 toed buck tooth Irish *******, who won’t just take you for everything you have, they’ll […]
If you have ever payed a visit to North Cornwall then the chances are you have stopped in a town called Wadebridge. Situated roughly about 8 miles or so from it’s closest enemy Padstow (a name which when mentioned around Wadebridge is usually accompanied by a spit on the ground) Wadebridge boasts several shops from […]
Padstow, such a nice holiday resort, Rick Stein (Celeb. Chef), branding everywhere (well he is the only source of income for the town). There’s also lots of nice little shops too (ok he’s not the only income but main income) and a nice little harbour to walk around. Padstow isn’t too different from the nice […]
There used to be a link on here about Torpoint, but I can no longer find it. I have also noted that on many of the entries, the authors have tried to fit in as many words over 6 lettters long that they can. I don’t know if this is an attempt to prove that […]
There’s no doubting my current town used to be a nice place to live, it was once known as “the gateway to Cornwall”, oh, how things have changed. I’m not exactly sure when this invasion started, but the the place has become so over-run i get the feeling some people are too scared to go […]
Maybe it’s me remembering a peaceful place for family holidays when I was a kid in the ’70s, maybe it’s because my ancestry goes back to the late 17th century in and around St Ives (no, chavsters, I’m not posh, it’s just that someone has researched it and put it on the net), maybe it’s that […]

I’m not a big one on violence but I witnessed one of the funniest **** retributions at the weekend. Saturday morning, Penzance main street, people doing their Christmas shopping, stopping and chatting on corners; all very nice and civil. I was chatting to a mate when I heard this engine revving (well, more of an […]
