Blackpool: The less than salubrious Seaside

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

Blackpool, although you may think it’s a jolly seaside resort with candy floss and donkeys, it is where transients come to draw benefits in a holiday resort instead of an inner city.

Oxford: the ugly truth revealed!

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

Ah, Oxford. Land of dreaming spires and colleges abound. Posh was born here. Intellectual, civilised, affluent. What they don’t tell you is the enormous disparity between areas.

Birkenhead: full of losers and utterly ruthless backstabbers

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

I have mixed feelings on both this topic, the places named and the responses given to the top 10 worst places to live. To be honest, I actually moved away from the Liverpool area, incidentally, Birkenhead is where I’m from. They call us plastic scousers up there because we have the accent but we don’t […]

Lowestoft: the land of gormless men & severely pale and overweight single mothers

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

So, unbeknownst to me, the UK has a group of possible contenders for the scenario witnessed in Battle Royale. This group of people are known as Lowestoftians. I’m pretty sure if we stuck them all on the Isle of White and told them to off each other, they would walk straight into the sea and […]

Winson Green, Birmingham: it was a BIG mistake moving there, it’s a major hole!

Is Winson Green a nice place to live or is Winson Green rough?

Me and my girlfriend moved to Birmingham about 6 months ago after I finished my Degree in Stoke University. I have to admit, little research was done on my part regarding nice places to live and we just went for somewhere near town that was relatively cheap. BIG MISTAKE! The day we moved in we […]

Boston, Lincs, every bad thing done to excess

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

well, I found myself unfortunate to live in Boston for eight, nearly nine years. I’ve lived in a lot of places; some good some bad. In Scotland, Wales and England I’ve lived and worked in some towns, some mentioned on this site so I can say honestly that Boston is without doubt ‘as rough as […]
