Briefield, aka Chavistan or Brierstan (as used by the local Asian youths before you go off on your racial high horse) is the thorn in the side of one of England’s most beautiful countryside districts. The witches of Pendle have evolved and settled in this once industrial town to produce some of the most dysfunctional […]

The worst places to live in North West England
Culcheth is a hole roughly equidistant between Liverpool and Manchester
Well where do I start? Culcheth is a hole roughly equidistant between Liverpool and Manchester, and as it’s in commuter reach of both these “fair” cities, property prices over the last 25 years have ran out of control, making it eternally unaffordable for the offspring of local people. It’s popular with fat accountants, drug dealers […]

Mawdesley. Home to every boss you hated.
You won’t have heard of Mawdesley. No one has. Even people in surrounding villages refuse to acknowledge the existence of this lifeless non-place. It’s as though even thinking of the existence of such a deadened little place causes a little part of you to die. Even wildlife seems to give the area a wide berth. […]
Wigan, the locals take no pride in their health or appearance
Wigan is a small town and has beenn compared with Bolton and Leigh (but Leigh is bigger and better in almost every way). The council has wanted Wigan to become a city – that has to be a complete joke! Wigan has a huge alcohol problem which is pathological; that is all that young men […]

Salford…from a foreigner’s perspective.
I know this is like beating a dead horse but I thought I’d give my two cents, not being from England. To start off, I’m a 22 year old Canadian in the UK on a gap year. I was originally in London but I had a hell of a time trying to find somewhere to […]
The sad decline of The North
It angers and saddens me a great deal to read the many obituries of once proud working and mining towns like Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Sunderland etc on this site. These were all places I was familiar with as a very young man back in the late 1970s and places I loved to visit and […]
Shaw, trapped between Oldham & Rochdale like a fart between bum cheeks
I would like to begin by doffing my cap to the outstanding wordsmiths who have inspired me to post a review of the Shaw. On entering Shaw, slotted firmly between the cultural hotbeds of Oldham and Rochdale (Somewhat like a stifled farted trapped between the **** cheeks of a skinny jeans wearing Emo), one is […]

Sale, Cheshire, a black hole of misery and despair
Sale is a god awful town on the edge of Cheshire and Lancashire.It boasts sights such as the Racecourse council estate, a variety of charity shops and charming locals. Sale is possibly the most depressing place you will ever come across. The abundance of street performers with little or no talent will astound you. My […]

Farnworth used to be a nice place to live in the 60/70’s
Farnworth used to be a nice place to live in the 60/70’s. Good Community feel, nice neighbours, with a sense of belonging. Not any more. It has become a dumping ground for the dregs of society that no-one else wants or cares about. Orange single Mums, pushing several kids about, the whole Family in Pyjamas, […]

Edgeley: The Land of Hopes and Dreams
Edgeley, possibly one of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport’s most overlooked suburbs, despite housing both it’s train station and it’s high quality football team. The Wikipedia definition of Edgeley states it is a suburb “made up of council estates and Victorian terrace houses”. This is very close minded and factually incorrect. It also has a […]
Bury
Bury is fast becoming the beggars paradise. On a typical night out, you can expect three need 20p for the bus, Half a dozen have you got a cig mate or can I finish yours pal, a guy sat beside the cash machine playing a recorder (Badly) waiting for a tip and even a story […]
