Bangor. A university city where the bookshop shut a decade ago. A city where the magistrate’s court was pulled down to make room for a police station which is open 9-5 Monday to Friday. Because at least in Bangor, crime does indeed sleep. I once asked a representative from Soest in Germany why Bangor was […]

The worst places to live in Wales
The Welsh Valleys: Where sheep and man are equal
I think as a region, the South Wales Valleys are a strong contender for the worst part of the United Kingdom. An unfortunate history of collapsed industries leading to mass unemployment has resulted in a steep decline in the overall living standards in this part of Wales. I say this not in jest or from […]

The dump that is Colwyn Bay
Please can I nominate the Dump that is Colwyn Bay. Where does one start? Well the Travelodge in CB is used to accommodate the homeless so that gives you a very clear idea of the town it is. Sadly the council stopped caring about the town years ago. Pulling all of old hotels down and […]
Llanybydder: it’s 20 years behind the rest of civilisation
Small village situated near Lampeter, runs a monthly horse mart and the land that time forgot… or in reality 20 years behind the rest of civilization. Once this village many old fashioned pubs, only the rugby club is left, where ******* popping farmers and intellectually challenged boy racers go. Each pub within the area had […]

Pontypool. There is no hope. Do not come.
Pontypool, a once proud town, was built on the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors. They worked tirelessly in the mines and Ironworks to forge a community to be proud of. They gave us work men’s halls, libraries, schools and hospitals. Unfortunately things didn’t quite pan out as they planned. Thatcher ripped the industry […]

Cwmbranistan – you couldn’t make it up
The signpost at Cwmbranistan train station states ‘ Alight here for shopping’ which to the imbeciles amongst us means get off the train for our quality shopping area now complete with roof. 50,000 poor souls live in this 1949 architects wet dream and 1000 of these wildlings work in a local well known biskwit establishment […]
Abergavenny is culturally lacking in every aspect
Abergavenny is known as the gateway to Wales. It is a small market town surrounded by verdant hills. The town itself has a tired, run down feel with lots of charity and cheap goods shops. The council have poorly managed the town, resisting rejuvenation and charging such high rates that many shops are forced to […]
