There is an old saying that “they don’t build slums”; and it is very true, but when you look at a town like Accrington you can certainly see why it is not just the people that are at fault. It is no exaggeration to say that the public areas of Accrington are maintained to a […]
First of all, Rishton is probably the worst place to live in Great Britain. If you can survive here then you are undoubtedly better than Bear Grylls. Most 12-16 year olds smoke and get into so much trouble that no amount of abuse from their parents can change it.You can hear police cars coming from […]
Darwen likes to promotes itself as a traditional pretty little market town, the reality however, can’t be any more different. People complain about Blackburn being full of *****, but at least there are brightly lit shops there to take your mind off the sheer scale of deprivation, teenage mothers, benefit claimants and alcoholics falling over […]

Blackpool, although you may think it’s a jolly seaside resort with candy floss and donkeys, it is where transients come to draw benefits in a holiday resort instead of an inner city.

My particular beef is with the nightlife. It may seem surprising to outsiders but as relatively recently as 2004 Blackburn was […]
Having lived and worked in Blackpool for the last 20yrs you could say ive seen some changes to this once ‘nice’ popular spot for families from everywhere. Over the years it just gets worse and worse, no jobs for anyone, no positive beneficial regeneration, no one gives a **** anymore about the place. Not only […]
From the moment you enter this diseased hell hole you can smell the social waste of time, first stop is market walk, a ridiculous sort of shopping centre but with cheap ****** shops, like ***** favourite the Card Factory complete with squawking sprog and ecig cloud blown in your face. Home of the shoplifting ****, […]

I know a couple of other people have made posts about Accrington, but I thought I’d add some aspects which haven’t been mentioned. Being stuck in the town because of work commitments, I envy people who say they used to live here but moved away, and can laughingly give a loveable account after they came […]
