So, Porth translated is “gateway”. It’s the gates to hell more like. I live in Cymmer (said ******) so you know we are off to a good start. The Rhondda (and no less Porth) is filled with ne’er-do-wells, lacking ambition of any sort. It amazes me that you will not find a single pretty girl […]
Prestonpans or as locals say ‘the Paaans’ has got to be the most miserable lot in east Lothian. The people here are half baked, miserable, bitter, and as sour faced as Andrew Lloyd Webber licking on a nettle. The gossip mongering is off the scale -men and women and nobody has a life. Everyone exists […]

Pros: Beautiful countryside, sunny, beaches, friendly-ish people (but a bit weird). That’s it. Cons: Fat, ugly, tattooed sheep (the blokes are still wearing Gold rope chains and earings, **** me, about 30 years too late, even spotted a mullet for crying out loud!). Floppy haired little ***** with scooters that seem to be everywhere, **** […]

Well as a place to live Leicester has a lot to offer. An incredible football team, great shopping and pretty good nightlife, but if you are unfortunate enough to be married to or dating a man from Leicester then the chances that he is not cheating on you are very slim. Ladies (and probably men […]
Had enough of the modern age? Would you like to return to English traditions? If you also want to leave the delights of the nearby seaside for the glorious country, look no further! Garstang boasts views of the Trough of Bowland and there are plenty of choices if you like to drink in the pub […]
Creeping insidiously from the murky depths of the now silt-choked and chemically polluted Teifi River, Cardigan was once a thriving port, ferrying passengers to and from the New World. Now the place is filled with a strange, uneasy mix of Welsh Nationalists, middle-aged “artists” from Surrey and Sussex, ***** from various English cities who were […]

Bristolians are often derided for their farmer-come-pirate accents, and have never been though of as the classiest of folks. This is probably due to their lack of class. However, something has happened to Bristol over the past 10 years or so. Coffee shops, micro-breweries and organic food stores are springing up everywhere, ‘hipsters’ are filling […]
I watched the movie Deliverance the other day, and immediately it made me think of Cinderford, a former coal mining community in West Gloucestershire that I have had the misfortune of visiting on several occasions. The fundamental similarities are there: lots of trees and lots of *******. I live close to Cinderford in the marginally […]

Northampton was apparently once a magnificent market town. But for as long as I lived there, there was nothing magnificent about it. I grew up in Duston, a village 3 miles away from the town centre. Between the stench of sewage, huge **** families lounging around on their front lawns with cans of cheap lager […]

Well Carlisle… A few days ago I was in the lovely town of Keswick, the picturesque mountains, the sunset glistening on the lake. As the love of my life enjoyed a fruit cider, as semi retired couples smiled and waved at my son and I, me being somewhat naive, jumped at the chance to work […]

There is much to be said for a Forest of Dean education. Lydney is home to some of the region’s best and brightest; a town of philosophers, poets and deep thinkers. There is also much to be said for sarcasm, which the previous paragraph is full of. The inhabitants of Lydney (or Lydiots as I […]

Been living in Felixstowe 6 weeks now having moved up from Hertfordshire. What a strange place. Don’t get me wrong, beautiful countryside and lovely beaches (some, apart from the chavy end where the Amusement Arcades are) but crikey these people are weird, i just don’t know what to make of ’em. Really friendly on the […]
