Sherborne, a hideously deranged town that looks great from afar

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

Sherborne, this hideous town and populace looks picture perfect to anyone visiting; beautiful buildings, clean and tidy public areas, a politeness that is unheard of in any large town.

“Dirty GY” a.k.a Great Yarmouth

I’ve lived in Great Yarmouth my entire life. What I’ve found is, the entire area and surrounding areas you have to pick out the best and the worst.

Leicester – What A God Awful Mess

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

Leicester seems to be proud of the obvious truth that it’s a mess. The great unwashed suffer while deluded fools still insist everything’s fine and dandy.
