The worst places to live in Devon
Well as my last article titled “Plymouth, the toilet of England” seemed so popular with the locals and even the so called “local newspaper” the Plymouth Live, well I say local, does news in Kent count as local? But anyway, let’s getting into the article. Today I will be focusing on other less salubrious areas, […]
When I left a Glasgow 12 years ago, for a fresh start in Plymouth I didn’t think you could get much worse.. Oh how wrong I was. On the edge of the “River Tamar” with Cornwall bordering, famous for pasties and being the only county where you someone can introduce you to their aunt, wife, […]
Paignton is a toilet now. Some residents are friendly enough, the state of most properties is not that bad for a predominantly low economy area, however it is completely spoiled because most of its main roads are adjacent to several social housing estates. I’m not trying to demonise social classes, it’s a fact that most […]
With the smallest Sainsburys in the UK located in an old shed to the cruddiest dirty market in the SW. The only shops are charity shops and cafés full of gaseous pensioners. Nothing interesting happens in this town. Once or twice a year a few locals dress up as victorian peasants rather than 21st century […]
I came to Devon to enjoy life and have fun and must be off my head to have gone with Landkey. Landkey is only a few miles out of Barnstaple but it might as well be 500 years ago in feudal times, because the reality of one of the small minded ****** locals coming at […]
Torquay is probably the only seaside town in England where ***** outnumber seagulls. However, it is easy to get confused between the two as both groups lay a trail of **** wherever they walk. The only difference is that ***** make their mark in the form of grease left on the floor of local fast […]
It would have been a lot better if Sergei Skripal lived in Torquay rather than Salisbury because at least the government spends money on things other than benefits and combating knife crime in the latter. But even then, I’m not sure the Novichok would have been enough to deter all the bargain loving ***** who […]
Combe Martin is a Devonshire bumpkin village and small “seaside resort” (apparently), about 4 miles east of Ilfracombe in North Devon. There are very few Devonians left in this **** town, where the average age is 0-18 or over 60; anyone else who wants a normal life ‘gets the hell out of Dodge’, and lets […]

North Devon, the land of hospitality and great scenery. well at least the scenery and coastline pass muster. Living here is like living a 1970s sitcom, and to be blunt it’s just as cheesy. Why, how? – really glad you asked – let us begin… Hospitality? Picture Fawlty Towers, if you will, and throw in […]

Combe Martin? A civil parish and former manor on the North Devon coast about 4 miles east of Ilfracombe. You can’t really mistake this place, and you mustn’t. Think Withnail and I and One Foot in the Grave, set in Devon’s own Royston Vasey. “Out of the World and into Combe Martin” as its old […]

Following on from someone else’s accurate review of Braunton, I thought I should add my own. Braunton is a small village located in one of the highest risk of flooding next to Atlantis. Which though they have finally bought better flood defences. It will do no good in another 5 years. The kids that live […]
Ilfracombe really does have excellent coastal scenery, the sea, and coastal walks. At the mo’ we’re house-sitting for family in Ilfracombe, aka Ilfrascum or Ilfradoom, so welcome to Poverty-on-Sea and another knackered resort reminiscent of that Viz cartoon: “Skegness – It’s f***** ****”. Never believe the brochures, but it’s not all bad. Blinding sunsets and […]
