Consett, the ****** pissy-mattress furnished capital of the North

Living in Consett

Welcome to Consett! The ****** rusty-old-trampoline furnished capital of the North. Once a thriving steel industrial town, now a graveyard for old trampolines, rusty bikes and old pissy mattresses.

If, in Darlington, you’re black, there’s no going back

Living in Darlington

Darlington. I don’t know where to start – the cheeky little ***** on their BMX’s or the constant abuse non-straight-haired people receive on a day to day basis.
