I’ve seen many articles on here proclaiming Coventry to be a dump, and, in spite of what the primitive Coventrians in the comments will tell you, I can assure you that all you have read is indeed true: Coventry is a dump. This once great industrial city has been reduced to nothing but one huge […]

Bromyard known by the locals as “bumrod”
Bromyard, known by the locals as “bumrod”, is a quaint town Almost exclusively populated by the silver surfers with its numerous rustic (holes in the roof, if it’s wet, don’t leave the house) and quaint (a code word for the queens’ dance floor occupying a 2 square meter space) pubs ensure this as a retirement […]
Hereford, a city of two halves
Pretty cathedral ✔ Attractive riverside walks ✔ An array of interesting independent shops ✔ Buuuuut . . . . Obese natives ✔ run down council estates ✔ rife unemployment ✔ Hereford is a city of contradictions. A fine historic cathedral, beautiful Georgian townhouses and an excellent new shopping centre, yet despite all this, it is […]
The (not so royal) Town of Sutton Coldfield
So, You’ve recently been ‘out cost’ by London’s ridiculously expensive rent costs and you decide “Sutton Coldfield, sounds like a really calm and tranquil town! We should move here” Well my fellow human, in the words of Admiral Ackbar, “IT’S A TRAP” You probably know Sutton as that sweet town with really good quality schooling […]
Ross-on-Wye: marrying your sister, charity shops and fights
They say Ross on Wye is the birthplace of modern tourism. However the things it is most famous for are; **********, charity shops and fights outside the Eagle on a Saturday night. Ross on Wye has more charity shops than people. Every building is taken up by either a charity shop, run down pub or […]

Leek: just like any other midlands town, just don’t expect a McDonalds
With all due respect to the previous commentators on Leek, some may have had bad experiences granted, but for the most part it’s just like any other midlands town. I’ve lived here on and off over the years. I haven’t actively sought out Leek as a natural habit but I know plenty of people that […]

Rugeley is the town equivalent of Ryanair
Ah Rugeley where do I start, I have lived here all my life and it never fails to make me want to jump in front of a speeding truck. The people in Rugeley can be friendly at times but the old people look at teenagers like myself like we are best mates with O.J Simpson, […]
Wombourne – lovely village with some buts…
As a village, Wombourne has loads going for it, good shops, lovely surrounding countryside and fantastic amenities i.e a leisure centre (with pool) within walking distance, a library and plenty of pleasant cafe’s/coffee shops. It also has pleasant pubs within walking distance and of course it’s own cricket ground and floodlit tennis courts. What more […]
Keresley – What went wrong?
Keresely, where do I start? Ah yes, why don’t we start off at the fact that Keresley village is a modern day death camp to the even the most resilient of people. All the people that don’t live on the benefits of hard working people, like the Bedworth population, sponge of their kids and rely […]
Coventry – The Hellhole of Britain
The only place in the country where living there could be confused as a punishment. The hellhole which is Coventry, is clear when experienced what it is really like, and it is evident to all who have dipped their toe in it, hopefully you will never have to. It is bad enough to be the […]
Great Bridge, Tipton: Nothing but a dingy, depressing toilet
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. […]

Sutton Coldfield – Upvc and plenty of bling
Sutton Coldfield is an utterly horrible place to live. If you are thinking of buying a house here, I understand why. Birmingham doesn’t give you a wide choice of civilised and pretty alternatives. However, I would suggest you go into the centre, the area around Grace Church shpping centre night and day before commiting to […]
