Featherstone – They’ll give thee a kickin’

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

Featherstone, or Fev as it’s more commonly known, is a town in West Yorkshire that is thriving with ***** who pride themselves on how much alcohol they can consume in one sitting and how hard their dad was in the 80’s. All of the town is a sh*thole but nowhere more so than the Priory […]

Abertillery: Welcome to The Valleys… of Hell!

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

A warning, don’t come here unless your ambition is to live in a complete slum! I knew Wales standards would be different to England’s, but I didn’t realise they would have no standards here at all. My quality of life has dropped to nil since making the huge mistake of moving here. They despise old […]

Wirksworth where breeding outside of your own family is frowned up

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

A town where breeding outside of your own family unit is frowned up at the very least. This is of course masked by the faux hippy image that people seem to favour in this day and age in order to make a place with no outstanding values appear “quaint”. Naturally this has raised the price […]

Codnor the land of the living dead

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

Codnor is a little village or as they now like to call it a “Towwen” best known throughout the world for its pet shop. When giving directions to someone for any reason the reply will be “oh yea that’s where the pet shop is”. Residents of Codnor naturally have a natural hate for the neighbouring […]

Bangor: City of the Damned

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

Bangor. A university city where the bookshop shut a decade ago. A city where the magistrate’s court was pulled down to make room for a police station which is open 9-5 Monday to Friday. Because at least in Bangor, crime does indeed sleep. I once asked a representative from Soest in Germany why Bangor was […]

Mixed bag for Darlington (Darlo)

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

Darlington is truly a mixed bag. It consists of the best and the worst, and by the worst, I mean you’ll feel like you’re in Mogadishu or Baghdad. Unlike other nearby towns, such as Middlesbrough, Hartlepool or Stockton which are all universally **** throughout, Darlington consists of several okay areas in which you’ll find old […]

Middlesbrough, kiddos.

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

I’ve lived in Middlesbrough since 2014 and to put it lightly, f*ck this place. Now, I’m not going to generalise here but as a person who grew up in a quaint rural town in the south, moving to Middlesbrough was a shock to me in many ways. The town does have its ups, for example […]

Battersea, the ghetto of the 80’s!

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

I’m amazed that there isn’t an article for this on here yet! Ah Ba-a-sea (as we all called it, a local knows it has 2 t’s in the name but neither are used): the home of my formative years in the 80’s. I’ve not been back here since meeting up with a young lady for […]

Ollerton: the most boring place to live

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

New Ollerton = old biddy central and a load of manky *****. DO NOT come here, for your own sanity don’t even visit. Train station? you wished. Public transport, few and far between and doesn’t take you where you need to go when you need to get there. If you don’t drive you have virtually […]

Eastbourne: God is ignoring this waiting room…

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

Eastbourne, Eastbourne…where to start? Stinky, ******, utterly without charm. No good shops, disproportionately high numbers of OAP’s and people with addiction/mental health problems. I have lived/worked here for waaay too long (about fifteen years) and am finally escaping in 2017. I work in the town centre, and sometimes feel like a fricking social worker; I […]

Enter Skelmersdale Alive… Leave With A Posthumous Medal Of Bravery

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

Welcome to Skelmersdale. A town that will re-arrange your internal organs with its never-ending roundabouts and you will be lucky if you can emerge from a simple children’s playground with your spinal cord intact. Seriously though, Skelmersdale is perhaps one of the worst towns in Britain. This is because you have your three major areas. […]

Cinderford: There is a tenth circle of hell

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

When Dante’s Inferno was written all those years ago, the author gave us the most detailed and descriptive account of the nine different circles of Hell. Turns out he missed one. There are in fact 10 levels of Hell, and whilst the 9th circle is commonly thought to be the worst, the tenth circle is […]
