Mayfield in Scotland is like the seventh circle of Dante’s hell

Is Mayfield a nice place to live or is Mayfield rough?

Well, a bit of history is required first, methinks. Mayfield, just south of Dalkeith, nestles between the A68 and the A7 south. It was originally built, in the sixties, as overspill housing for the colliery workers of nearby Newtongrange, as well as to provide the workforce for a small but relatively successful industrial estate. Sadly, […]

York – a top league hole

Is York a nice place to live or is York rough?

Not an obvious candidate for a top league sh*thole, York is nevertheless coming along nicely. Known here as scallies because the word **** to a York ****** is unpronouncable.  The epicentre a.k.a breeding colonies for this particular species of ner’do’well are Tang Hall, Bell Farm and Chapelfields just outside the main city in Acomb. Although […]

Gorton – visit soon! (but watch your gold, your phone, your car, your shoes…)

Is Gorton a nice place to live or is Gorton rough?

I had the misfortune to live in Gorton for 12 years, before I made my escape 4 years ago. I still visit friends there, and this report is based on my observations from my time living there (yes, I’ve been there, done it, worn the appropriately logo’d t-shirt, and lived the lifestyle) and from time […]

Margate has its charms, but it’s also…

Is Margate a nice place to live or is Margate rough?

Margate has its charms (beautiful weather and a nice beach), but it’s also **** Central. Margate **** haunts include McDonald’s, KFC and Yates’ Wine Lodge, which is the preferred watering hole to get pissed in before moving on to one of the local clubs. Sheldons at the top of Margate high street is also another […]

Wealdstone really is the ******** of Harrow

Is Wealdstone a nice place to live or is Wealdstone rough?

Wealdstone Town Centre – Adjacent to Harrow, now this really is run down.  Councillors and shopkeepers constantly bleat that the anti traffic measures have ****** off what there is of the town centre. But why don’t they just dispense with political correctness and admit its the huge council estates that exist nearby and the ***** […]

Eastleigh, an armpit of a town

Is Eastleigh a nice place to live or is Eastleigh rough?

Ok, so Eastleigh is by no means the worst places in Britain (I’m thinking it’s possibly Paulsgrove, Portsmouth) but it is well worth a mention if only for the ‘**** per square mile ratio’; Beastleigh is comparatively small to that of neighbouring Southampton, but it stands brimming proudly with all that is ****, clutching to […]

Clacton on Sea, Essex, so incestuous that it is twinned with itself

Is clacton a nice place to live or is clacton rough?

I should first point out that I do not live there (in a sense does anyone?) I have only visited. I may be foolish but I am not bloody stupid! Clacton or ‘Clackers’ or ‘London by the sea’ is a seaside town (the clue is in the name) that is so incestuous that it is […]

Port Talbot: it’s not the steel works that make it a dump, it’s the *****

Is Port Talbot a nice place to live or is Port Talbot rough?

Noted while browsing that an article for Port Talbot was needed. Well I can safely tell you that it does indeed belong on this site. After going to school there for seven years, I can tell you that it’s not the steel works that make PT a dump, it’s the ***** that inhabit it. Most […]

Belfast and the fermented cough syrup that is Buckfast

Is Belfast a nice place to live or is Belfast rough?

As a native of Washington, Tyne and Wear, the idea of a town overrun by hoards of ********* ******** was nothing new. In fact, I was convinced that I had seen it all in the 18 years that I had lived, relatively peacefully (only two black eyes and a bruised lip), amongst the burgeoning underclass […]
