The Hell That Is Sunderland

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

I have to tell you of the Hell I witnessed called Sunderland. I was drawn there by an online romance. To get to my girlfriends house I had to drive through a salubrious little hamlet called PENNYWELL. I have seen a woman on the street in a dressing gown screaming obscenities at a man covered […]

Uppermill – Saddleworth’s Dumping Ground

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

I remember Uppermill as a kid when it was picturesque, friendly and village like. Part of the Saddleworth villages, it truly has gone down the sh*tter. There has always been a few good pubs there and the ner-do-wells from Oldham would come up on a Saturday, eat their ice cream in the park and then […]

If when passing through the toilet bowl that is Latchingdon late at night, you took a wrong turn, got lost but kept on driving for 10 miles on that a road to nowhere, you probably had the misfortune of finding yourself at what seemed to be the edge of the earth, otherwise known as Bradwell […]

Wellington, Telford: A depressive hole of wasters

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

Wellington is a market town near Telford, in Shropshire in the West Midlands. And my God, is it a sh*thole. The market itself is decades out of date, with outdated tat that old people bric-a-brac day in day out. The entire street is swamped with run-down bargain stores and shops that once were, which are […]

Lincoln: The Cathedral and Holiday Inn city

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

When I first saw Lincoln I was in awe at the sight of one of the most pretty cathedrals in Britain. However that was all but gone when I entered a city where the greatest monuments not on a big posh hill was a holiday inn, some office blocks (very sparse) and the holy Morrison’s. […]

Glossop – I escaped this place as soon as possible

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

After having been raised here since birth to a rare pair of parents that weren’t related to each other in any way, I escaped Glossop as soon as possible and haven’t been back in 20 years. I hear it’s been hit by gentrification now, but in all seriousness it really needed hitting by a particularly […]

Paignton is a toilet now

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

Paignton is a toilet now. Some residents are friendly enough, the state of most properties is not that bad for a predominantly low economy area, however it is completely spoiled because most of its main roads are adjacent to several social housing estates. I’m not trying to demonise social classes, it’s a fact that most […]

Oldham – Drugs, Grooming and early death

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

I am not going to say that this manky Northern tip is full of ***** as it isn’t. It is full of ******* aspiring to become *****, it is that far down the social spectrum. Where to start is the main problem. Oldham was the richest town in the world at the height of the […]

Bexleyheath – a hive of villainy

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

So, I live in Bexleyheath. Growing up it used to be an okay town, it wasn’t too bad and there wasn’t enormous amounts of crime (not from my memory at least). I am now 20, and this area has completely changed. It is the hive of all villainy in the galaxy. Yobs, gangsters, roadmen and […]
