Towyn: Camelot for the leisurewear knights

Living in Towyn, Wales

Towyn, once part of North Wales popular north coast with its dunes, dreams and sunny holiday memories is now a nightmare on sh*t street. The dunes are now fortified boulders along the promenade, either to keep the hoards of ***** in their POW style static caravan camps in or the sea out.(presumably to stop it […]

Blackpool: The Seaside Town They Forgot To Close Down

Living in Blackpool, Lancashire

Blackpools a holdover from a different time. A time when every single one of us unlucky people were stuck on this awful island and flights to somewhere halfway decent was reserved to only the richest among us. Back then in these “days of yore” Blackpool was visited by all kinds of hard-working British families for […]

Stevenage is a town where you keep your head down when walking

Living in Stevenage, Hertfordshire

I lived in Stevenage for just over 30 years. I went to school, worked and ‘got around’ the town on a daily basis and got to learn the lay of the land and how it changed from an early age. Growing up in St. Nicholas, the Oval was a don’t go area, the ‘oval mob’ […]

Come to Weeting, we have a steam festival and that’s about it

Living in Weeting, Norfolk

Come to Weeting, Norfolk if you want to see nothing other than 9 year old wannabe gangsters, dog excrement covered streets and a bunch of eccentric yokels. Amazing what 1000 years of local breeding can do. On your arrival, after getting stuck at the station gates, obviously you will first see the “neighbourhood heroes” of […]

Living in Clem Attlee Court, Fulham

Clem attlee court, a council estate off of the rubbish laden north end road.

Porth, god’s toilet.

Living in Porth, Wales

So, Porth translated is “gateway”. It’s the gates to hell more like. I live in Cymmer (said ******) so you know we are off to a good start. The Rhondda (and no less Porth) is filled with ne’er-do-wells, lacking ambition of any sort. It amazes me that you will not find a single pretty girl […]

Bristol: A battle between hipster and yokel

Living in Bristol

Bristolians are often derided for their farmer-come-pirate accents, and have never been though of as the classiest of folks. This is probably due to their lack of class. However, something has happened to Bristol over the past 10 years or so. Coffee shops, micro-breweries and organic food stores are springing up everywhere, ‘hipsters’ are filling […]

Shaw: The Place That Joy Forgot

Living in Shaw, Greater Manchester

I spent a great deal of my formative years walking feverishly around the narrow field-bordered streets of Shaw, and found it difficult to describe to friends who would visit just why the place was so awful. To the untrained eye the hamlet seems quaint and even welcoming – this is a false perception. When I […]

Living in Bedford

How can I start, Bedford has changed in 40 years or so, Once upon a time it was the swankiest place in Bedfordshire. But no more. Bedford is now full of drug dealers, gangs and murders.
