I have lived in some godforsaken places in my time but Blackpool really takes the biscuit. When I was a kid, it was a great place to visit – it honestly was. Now, it is a Third World hellhole populated by *****, ******* and other dodgy types. One in four of the town’s population is […]
Dundee is the largest town in Tayside, although a city it certainly feels like a town from the moment you arrive at the train station with only two platforms. Should you arrive by car, your search for a car park through boundless taxis who seem to have no requirement to use a rank or give […]

Some towns are glaringly bad, often apologetically so. Then there are towns whose insidious nature lures folk like the sirens of the sea. As kids, we called it the mutant village of Stanwell. If you have ever seen the John Carpenter motion picture “In The Mouth Of Madness”, you can get a glimpse of the […]

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 […]
Cardiff, where is it? In South Wales. What is it? The capital of Wales. Do you need to know any more? No. Do you need to visit? Definitely not. What used to be a friendly, interesting city with it’s own unique feel is long gone.It really is quite a shame, because Cardiff used to be […]

Churchdown is a Gloucester outer-city housing estate nestling between incontinence and insanity that is home to a grey tsunami of geriatrics. It boasts a betting shop and a funeral directors and not much else, which is not surprising given that most of its inmates are housebound, glued to daytime television and poring over articles in […]
I luckily don’t live hereabout, but have been coming to see someone weekly over the last four years in this place called Bolton. I consider myself quite well travelled both in this country and abroad. I have witnessed some appalling places and sights in my 58 years, but with hand on heart, I have to […]
Ilfracombe really does have excellent coastal scenery, the sea, and coastal walks. At the mo’ we’re house-sitting for family in Ilfracombe, aka Ilfrascum or Ilfradoom, so welcome to Poverty-on-Sea and another knackered resort reminiscent of that Viz cartoon: “Skegness – It’s f***** ****”. Never believe the brochures, but it’s not all bad. Blinding sunsets and […]
All in all the locals, whilst obviously stark raving mad and having heads like dropped pies, are harmless enough. They largely prefer to stay indoors screaming at their televisions about how much they hate (in no particular order) foreigners (i.e. everyone not from Lincolnshire) city slickers from Lincoln, every ****** in Boston, them Wainfleet imbreds, […]

It’s all about the pubs in this place and you will never meet a duller bunch of **** candles lingering around the bar at the King Bill Pub, anywhere else, within a 50 mile radius. The pub also has a back room where the ***** are segregated from the general population of mongrels at the […]

I lived in Bury from 2014 to 2017 and it was a real eye opener. Bury has its own perfume – Eau de Weed which is particularly noticeable between the Spotted Cow and the Old Crow on Bell Lane. These two pubs host their own live shows every Thursday to Sunday – ‘Night of the […]
Most of the people who live in Kingswood fit into one of these four categories: a **** a mother with 4+ children which she has no control over some old bloke with type 2 diabetes, going to Parsons/Greggs every day someone who has tried to succeed in life, but has failed miserably Kingswood is always […]
