There is a village in England that has some pretty astounding features for a village, such as five or six non-chain places where to have a decent cup of coffee, a village hall where a certain film society shows some pretty decent films, like, ‘lo and behold, Werner Herzog and other illuminati. a Rudolf Steiner […]

Haywards Hoth dates back to 1544 meaning a “heath by the enclosure with a hedge”. An unsearchable and unheard of ‘legend’ suggests that the town is named after a local highway man, Jack Hayward, who committed his crimes in the vicinity at some undefined period in the past. I suspect this is a colossal in-joke […]
Portland: People often say “it’s lovely, all the sea views, all the views of the coast it’s beautiful”. I would like to point out that those are views of something that is NOT Portland. Turn 180 degrees and look at the grey houses, the grey people with baffled expressions when faced with anything more modern […]

If for whatever reason you should visit this rotting corpse of a harbour town – presumably for the go kart tracks or the aquarium – you should know that any poor soul who strays into the feral residential areas is presumed dead until seen again. During your visit should be able to enjoy the cobbled […]

“You’re not local, are you?” I couldn’t make it up… I’ve just returned from my second and last visit to Keighley. I have never encountered such a depressing, unfriendly and dull place in my life. The more time I spent there, the more I felt I was trapped in some groundhog day loop of repeating […]

Hailsham… Town of the ‘wannabe’! In the past the local youth aspired to be like the local traveller community. This came to an abrupt end when people from London whom could not cope with an influx of immigrants migrated here. The people from London soon put an end to the ridiculous claims of ‘being hard’ […]
Sherborne, this hideous town and populace looks picture perfect to anyone visiting; beautiful buildings, clean and tidy public areas, a politeness that is unheard of in any large town. However if you see underneath the exterior there is a festering, filthy wound of bitterness and small town resentment for anyone whose ancestors haven’t plagued the […]

A former mining village that seems immune to any form of improvement. The two main roads leading into the place have the Ballingry sign proudly displayed but it has gloomy Royston Vasey ‘you’ll never leave’ feel about it. You won’t see this place twinned with any notable European village, it; would more likely be a […]

I have lived in East Grinstead now for 5 years. Although the town has one of the oldest high streets in the country, it does not take away from the fact that it’s a nasty horrible place. The town itself is filled with *****, nutters, nasty middle-class idiots and Scientologists (the national Scientology headquarters is […]

Liskeard, Cornwall and all its sly little outlying villages, if you move here to “better your life” then it’s the biggest mistake you will ever make. The people who live here (and there family who’ve lived here for 1000 years and they don’t let you forget that) are horrible! Rude beyond rude! The only people […]

Bedford had changed in the last 30 years or so. The Bus Station had been refurbished into the 21st century. So had the Car park, What still remains the same the Loo’s still smell of rotting Pilchards and Piss. Sadly If you wanted to go to the Loo in the centre of town in the […]

I’ve lived in Great Yarmouth my entire life. What I’ve found is, the entire area and surrounding areas you have to pick out the best and the worst. You have your sh*t areas like GY, Southtown, Cobholm, Lowestoft, but there are some nice areas like Caister, Bradwell, Carlton and Belton. Gorleston is somewhere in between. […]
