Horncastle, living here for 7yrs i’ve discovered “quaint” means “dull”

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

Horncastle is a quaint, traditional, little market town set within the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

The average age […]

Matlock: arcades, cafes, chippys, and bikers coming out of our ears

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

Where to begin. Matlock may well be in the doomsday book and it seems that word, doom, features in many of the people’s lives here. With a vast selection of 13+ charity shops that would charge the same amount for the rags they sell as Armani would for a full suit, many residents seem satisfied […]

Kirkby-in-Ashfield: Another Slowly Dying Ex-Mining Town With Nothing There.

Is Kirkby-in-Ashfield a nice place to live or is Kirkby-in-Ashfield rough?

When I was little and growing up here, I used to hate Kirkby with a passion. Nowadays, there’s not even enough left to hate. It’s a dirty, dingy skeleton. If some people didn’t have to live here, nobody would come anywhere near the place. If you like charity shops and hairdressers you’ll be amply served […]

Pinxton is one of those places where time seems to have stood still

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

Pinxton is one of those places where time seems to have stood still; the place reminds you of the 1970’s. It’s still got an old-school Laundromat and I swear to god that Woodfield Road was used in the council flat scene for the film ‘’Rita, Sue & Bob Too’’ Pinxton boasts the finest aquatics & […]

Nottingham? It should be called Shottingham.

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

I lived in Nottingham all my life before recently moving to London. I can safely say that Areas in Nottingham are literally a no go – on the same level as Afghanistan. Bilborough, Broxtowe, Basford and St Anns are just massive council estates filled with hooded ***** who openly carry weapons and drugs on them. […]

Grimsby Economically dire

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

I feel that my grandfathers, grandmothers, brothers and sisters home town of Grimsby is a bog basic, mundane, depressing, and menial level place to live long term. Since 1990 a dire economic situation engulfed the town and will last I guess to around the year 2050, transforming it into a constant economically decomposing place to […]

Worksop – The fattest town in England

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

Winning the Sun newspaper’s prestigious award for “Fattest town in Britain” isn’t all Worksop is famous for. Think men in tights, ***** in kappa and women of all shapes and sizes in leggings and you’re just about there. However, these days Robin and his Merry men don’t rob from the rich to give to the […]

Bakewell: **** in the Peak

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

Seriously I left Devon to be here? We decided to move as my husband’s family are from the area. However, my initial impressions of this place being a tranquil, unspoilt gem of the Peak District, is a but like implying that it’s ok to **** on someone’s door – which probably goes on here. Firstly, […]
