Marlow: breeding ground for Narcissists

Marlow, Berkshire a town that now has more fake vegans per square metre than any other in the UK. Marlow used to be a friendly, welcoming place to enjoy and relax into but it is now blighted by narcissist residents. There couldn’t be a mirror big enough for the ever-growing self-obsessed population of Marlow who […]

Opinion: Should I sell my home before house prices crash?

It was always going to happen eventually. The house price crash, it cometh. If you give more “handouts” to the rich than the poor, you create inflationary pressure as the wealthy scrabble to buy assets, not create jobs (lol). That has a knock on effect throughout the entire economy. You either have the wealth to […]

Braunton – Posh yet grimy

Braunton is a village that at first appearances, seems rather hip and cool. It has some nice pubs that cater to the middle class and also the working class… and that’s about all. You will find Braunton to be full and I mean full of 40-60 year old Karens and dodgy Daves from all social […]

Leicester: not recommended as a holiday destination, I lived here

Leicester, land of chicken bone covered pavements, dog *****, wobbly jawed accents, ch@vtastic fashion *cough* and miserable lined faces. This place is landlocked and joyless, with no redeeming features. The soulless shopping trolley filled canal that runs through the west-end has the odd duck and swan, lost en-route to sunnier climes, dodging the errant barges […]

Darlaston and Walsall: They need help

Having lived in Darlaston for over 19 years, sadly I am qualified to help on this issue . The start of my morning is getting my local bus stinking of spliff at 610 in Rough Hay (the name was given for a reason ) you will usually at this point be smoked over whilst waiting […]

Earlestown: Avoid at All Costs

Earlestown used to be a town of industry, but these days it’s only industrious in being terrible. Let’s start with the town at first glance. One of the main streets is a pedestrianised shopping area, though it’s unlikely you’ll be doing any shopping there. Most of the businesses that set up shop in Earlestown are […]

North Devon: the second home ghost-coast nightmare

North Devon – once a thriving district comprising over sixty civil parishes – includes Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, Instow, South Molton, Lynton and Lynmouth. And it’s full of trophy homes. How would you like to live in a community where half of local domestic properties are empty second homes, or holiday lets? Where people are being evicted […]

Harpenden – the smuggest town in the smuggest county

In one of the “boutique shops” on the High Street (between a Costa and a charity shop), they sell mugs that say “I’m terribly posh, I’m from Harpenden”. Clearly intended to be slightly tongue in cheek but in practice bought by people whose tongues are less in their cheeks and more worming into their own […]

Hitchin – one of life’s delusions

Hitchin, allegedly one of the happiest places to live in the country. That is, if you’re the sort of person that gains immense pleasure from sitting in a barber shop and admiring one’s self in the mirror. For sure the town centre is reasonably attractive, but it’s nothing compared to similar-size towns in other parts […]

Soham – Wasted Potential

Soham, a town well known for the murders of 2002. The way the community came together after these terrible incidents would’ve made you think of Soham as a normally peaceful town with a good community ready to help each other when disaster strikes. You’d be wrong. As a lifelong resident of Soham I have never […]

Cardiff: Shell suit, no job and dinner plate earrings required

Cardiff the capital city of ch@vs, dinner plate size earrings and enough delusion to make you think the council believe in unicorns. It’s clear that this city has tried to polish a ****, with its facades on buildings lining main streets, you need only look behind them to see what a dire cr@p hole this […]

Burneside: a welcome to the Lakes

Imagine a scenic little village perched on the very edge of the lake district where the hushed serenity is only broken by the delightful sounds of lambs gamboling in the verdant fields, you’ll have to use your imagination and possibly ear protection as the vast industrial edifice of the paper mill in the village [allegedly] […]
