So St Andrews, the home of Golf, a prestigious University – on the face of it lovely. Beautiful beaches, nice walks – outwith the town. Tourists, School kids, pensioners and the locals (who resemble Zombies) squeeze in to the three main streets and get pavement rage at each other. An array of people who are […]

Prestonpans or as locals say ‘the Paaans’ has got to be the most miserable lot in east Lothian. The people here are half baked, miserable, bitter, and as sour faced as Andrew Lloyd Webber licking on a nettle. The gossip mongering is off the scale -men and women and nobody has a life. Everyone exists […]

Well Carlisle… A few days ago I was in the lovely town of Keswick, the picturesque mountains, the sunset glistening on the lake. As the love of my life enjoyed a fruit cider, as semi retired couples smiled and waved at my son and I, me being somewhat naive, jumped at the chance to work […]

Named after the fish that used to swim in the river before it became too trolley strewn to support any living creature, Pollok (ignore the mis-spelling, nobody that lives here is literate enough to care) is the scheme that time forgot. **** here still sport the gravity defying caps, the ****** tracksuits and the whiter […]

My bonnie wee lassie and I have stayed in Aviemore on several occasions when visiting the Highlands. Considering the local countryside is among the most pristine in Europe, it is strange that Aviemore was not designed to be even slightly sympathetic to its surroundings. As human beings we have been blessed, by whatever created us, […]

The late great Rik Mayall once called Nottingham ‘a dark Godless void on the edge of human misery’, which exactly correlates with my feelings about Forth in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Cumbernauld’s little but equally-as-ugly little brother. Granted, it is a village – but hell is it depressing. A grey and moribund carbuncle on the ****-end of […]

Ahh Brechin.. Green Grass, White Snow and Brown Mud.. Or just slang terms Brechiners use for drugs. Traditionally Brechin is often described as a city because of its cathedral and its status as the seat of a pre-Reformation Roman Catholic diocese. But I would say different. Brechin is home to people who have nowhere else […]

Arbroath is the place of the Abbey which the stone of destiny was placed after being stolen from London. The people of Arbroath are a mixture of racist and junkies. The racism is not of skin colour it is of places outside Arbroath. A trip on a date is to pie bobs and a quick […]
The Highlands of Scotland, one of the most peaceful, beautiful places in Britain, or is it? Now I’ll be fair, there are a couple of nice spots, with good views, but if I’m totally honest the novelty wears off and most of it does NOT look like what you see in the photos. After living […]

Birthplace of David Livingstone – the famous explorer, and has one of the largest populations for a village in Europe. Sounding picturesque? Read on. ASDA is the biggest shop there… and it has a café, If you went there on any weekday, you’d be greeted by the same single mothers brigade that meet in said […]

Every town has rough areas. Aberdeen is no exception. We all know that areas such as Tillydrone, Torry, Kincorth and Mastrick have reputations for high crime rates and drug users but those areas are not even where Aberdeen’s biggest problem lies. That area is the city centre. For decades Aberdeen has had the reputation of […]
