Knottingley, eee by gum it’s rough

Living in Knottingley

I have lived in Knottingley for 10 years, but have known the place a lot longer, I previously lived in Selby,(enough said) and wanted rid of the ******* around there. It’s not a pretty town and was subject to the 5 town policy, ie, wakefield council taking all the money from that area for themselves […]

Grimsby & Cleethorpes are depressing, cold, unfriendly holes

Living in Grimsby & Cleethorpes

GRIMSBY and CLEETHORPES! what a backward, awful, depressing, unfriendly, hole this place is. Unless you have lived here for 5000 years, forget it. The locals are rude, cold, unfriendly, suspicious, and absolute miserable gits. If you are from outside the area, you may as well call it a day for friends, jobs, etc The ner’do’well […]

Saddleworth, home of the Mancunian ‘Yuppie’

Living in Saddleworth

If the people make the area then Saddleworth is the tumor in t’moors. Formerly within the Shire of York, before being sucked into the Greater Manchester sewage farm, our rural parish is not only in a conflict of which county we’re in but there is also an all-out war between the feral, drunken youths and […]

Brighouse – the town that time and Calderdale council forgot

Living in Brighouse

Brighouse is adorned with a couple of pound shops, a Tesco and a Sainsbury’s, there was talk of building an Aldi or a Lidl in the town although that seems to have disappeared fairly sharpish. The town is small and I do mean small, so small that you’re guaranteed that you will see either that […]

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. Darlington isn’t a hell-hole, or bad, it’s just Darlington. Since moving from the South when I was a baby, growing up in Darlington was fairly normal, as […]

Willington & Sunnybrow, bleak sh*tholes somewhere in County Durham

Living in Wilinton & Sunnybrow

Willington is a bleak sh*thole somewhere in county Durham. Times are tough here and this can be seen on a daily basis in the many pubs that line the main street with dole wallers sat at the bar drinking their many pints. Willington gets a bad name from its neighbouring village/suberb Sunnybrow where youths roam […]

Cottingham, we would love our village if it wasn’t so close to Hull

Living in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire

I think I can speak for the entire population of Cottingham when I say that we love our village. Or we would, if it wasn’t so close to Hull. There is a local school where very no paedophilia takes place, a local library where you can take out books and read them, and a Thursday […]

Bradford, the land of dreams, if you dream of takeaways & pound shops

Living in Bradford, West Yorkshire

Hornsea, a posh town for posh peoples!

Living in Hornsea

Hornsea is an up and coming town! The posh big sister of Withernsea at the south and Bridlington to the north. The town is filled with hairdressers well practiced in the art of the shampoo and set, in fact it currently keeps static hairdryer factories in operation. If a 1950s barnet is not your cup […]

Harehills, Leeds, one of the worst places to live in Britain

I’m surprised that Harehills, in north-east Leeds, has barely been mentioned anywhere on this site. It has got to be one of the worst places to live in Britain.  It’s unbelievable to think now, that this was once an affluent area. People aspired to living here and it adjoined what was then referred to as […]

Halifax, the locals spoke in grunts and squints

Living in Halifax, West Yorkshire

On arrival at Halifax I asked for directions to the rugby ground. I soon realised that I would need an interpreter as the locals spoke in grunts and squints. When passing a row of derelict houses; well I thought they were derelict until I saw the natives emerging from the properties, strangely wiping their feet […]
