Paisley – what can one say with regard to this “charming” town

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

What can one say with regard to this “charming” town. Irritable from birth, their birth marks are Burberry, Nickelson And most recently Berghaus – I assume this is a winter trend but only next summer will tell.
