Loudwater is a ‘not-village’ nestled between the black hole of High Wycombe and the posh, achingly middle class Beaconsfield. Situated along London Road, walking anywhere in Loudwater means dodging cars hurtling off the roundabout towards the motorway or trundling to Tesco. Incidentally, living in Loudwater for long enough might just be enough to persuade you […]

Leigh is a small-ish part of the larger Southend on Sea district. Leigh people like to think of themselves as ‘better’ than the rest of the district, and yes, there maybe more money per person floating around due to many of the inhabitants being City workers etc. As we all now however, money does not […]

Hornsea is an up and coming town! The posh big sister of Withernsea at the south and Bridlington to the north. The town is filled with hairdressers well practiced in the art of the shampoo and set, in fact it currently keeps static hairdryer factories in operation. If a 1950s barnet is not your cup […]
Where do i start with Baldock? It’s a town with a lot of history due to it being a roman settlement many years ago. There is a market that not many people go to every Thursday, but it’s good the the tradition keeps going. As for the town high street itself, it’s mainly pubs. A […]

Rochester, where to start, firstly forget Dickens, the locals hang onto that image with every thread in their cheap market clothing. He’s dead, and the town should try a new trick. All the local are so, ‘Oh, we live in Rochester’ really??? It really is the very very slightly upmarket Medway town, as in lower […]

I am writing this post in defence, from a post which I just stumbled across! I moved to the large village of South Normanton 7 years ago, and would quite humbly state, that the only reason I would leave is to emigrate to a warmer climate. For the most part, the village is a hard-working, […]

Oh Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes…what have you done to yourself? A long standing national joke about Concrete Cows, the gridded roads and a bought in Football team. That’s most people’s sum knowledge about MK, and to be honest, it was mine until i had the dire misfortune to think that moving here would be a […]

I’m surprised that Harehills, in north-east Leeds, has barely been mentioned anywhere on this site. It has got to be one of the worst places to live in Britain. It’s unbelievable to think now, that this was once an affluent area. People aspired to living here and it adjoined what was then referred to as […]

Most towns spawn Costa coffee shops. In Spalding, all empty properties are snapped up as Eastern European off-licences where they sell knocked-off ciggies and bootleg liquor which often sends you blind. The population is now neatly divided between disgruntled and elderly Daily Mail-reading gimmers and a younger generation of Poles/Lithuanians/Latvians/Russians – you can easily tell […]
Godalming is a fairly pretty town in Surrey, but it has more than its fair share of downsides. Firstly, the nearby college (which I unfortunately go to) means that the streets are FLOODED with ****** students smoking cigarettes and J-walking across the main roads, nearly killing themselves in the progress. Only saving grace is that […]
What filthy, depressing hovel. I actually think Great bridge should have two things removed: 1). The word “Great”, and 2). its town status. There are some decent, salt of the earth people here, but they’re moving out, dying out, or just staying out on account of the growing number of **** descending upon the place. […]

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 […]
