The worst places to live in the East Midlands
Ashby de la zouch is marketed as an affluent, middle class town with excellent transport links. As a resident of seven years, I hate the place. Stuck up pretentious people attempting to drive their range rovers, the class of driving here is abysmal. There’s no job centre or sure start centre and no help for […]
Just like others have posted about Northampton being a cesspit, I’d like to add that the council are so [*allegedly] backward (prehistoric imbeciles). It is run by Conservatives. I don’t know how they win the local elections… take a few guesses 😉 They were placed in special measures because they squandered so much money. No […]

Leicester, land of chicken bone covered pavements, dog *****, wobbly jawed accents, ch@vtastic fashion *cough* and miserable lined faces. This place is landlocked and joyless, with no redeeming features. The soulless shopping trolley filled canal that runs through the west-end has the odd duck and swan, lost en-route to sunnier climes, dodging the errant barges […]

I live here. Think of a medium size town with two dozen barbers, too many international restaurants to count and over two dozen Pizza joints and takeaways. But only one Fish and Chips shop. And it’s so very Woke, dahling (oh teh noes! – Ed). Loads of “Charity” shops selling overpriced tatty old junk, and […]
People with all their own teeth and the correct amount of digits would feel out of sorts and ill at ease living or visiting Padfield. Full of stone terraces and farms, interbreeding within the community has been a strong pastime over the years, but change is afoot. The sprawl of people from Manchester that can […]

Some towns get articles on this site because of mass unemployment and petty (and not so petty) crime, others because they’re too small and underdeveloped to support any decent nightlife or culture. Wellingborough manages to do both at once. Once upon a time the town had a major railway depot, in addition to various factories […]
I had the chance to escape back in the 80s and blew it big time. A good job near Heathrow and a lovely girlfriend in Oxfordshire only a couple of miles from Henley on Thames. Temporary insanity is the only thing I can attribute to my decision to return to my hometown, that and being […]
Having moved to Shirebrook from London, we were looking for a community spirit village to bring our children into the real world, with life experiences. We chose Shirebrook due to its local market centre, impressive Schools and facilities, and transport links. It’s not the Emmerdale experience that some may expect, yet it is surrounded by […]
Hamilton so called posh area of leicester where if you are anything below middle class you are looked down upon like the inferior **** that you are. Everyone round here owns their own home don’t you know! Not. Also estate to some of THE worst drivers in leicester, for instance take a wander near the […]

Bulwell,on the whole is no worse than any other market town on the edge of a large city. All the local pubs that are left stink of toilets, sweaty feet and cheap paint. So do most of the die hard punters who live in them. Bulwell is not the place for a quiet relaxing pint […]
Boston, this town is the personification of disgusting and hypocrisy combined. You have to visit Boston to believe this statement. Seriously, before you visit make sure you use the bathroom and if using a car, have a spare pair of shoes. There is literally sh*t everywhere and unfortunately it is most likely human sh*t because […]
If you can survive the only road that makes Bolivia’s “Death Road” look like a walk in the park: the B1188, then you will stumble into Digby. Digby is a quaint little sanctuary where, and I mean this in every sense of the word, nothing happens. Nothing. No Post Office, a [allegedly] ****** pub and […]
