Ode to Basildon

Some people don’t know that they’re born. How can they possibly class largely middle-class Essex communities such as Billericay and Brentwood as “c**v towns,” when the mother of them all, the capital city of Chavdom and South Essex’s own Gotham City lies menacingly just over the horizon? They simply aren’t in the same league. In […]

Basildon, a self-contained ‘New Town’ to clear the slums of East London

Built as a self-contained ‘New Town’ to clear the slums of East London, Basildon has become one of the South-East’s great success stories. Boasting one of Europe’s largest shopping centres and having an enviable array of sporting facilities makes Basildon a great place for young families to work and live. Of course, this is all […]

Basildon District

Though this dump of a town has been mentioned in it’s smaller parts (Basildon, Pitsea, Wickford) it’s about time it was mentioned as a (w)hole. This really is a **** Mecca. It’s commonly known that much of the crime here is either committed by theiving **** **** or a few of the large population of […]

Basildon

A hairy wart of a town in Essex that is primarily responsible for dragging the county down, at least more so than any other pile of concrete excretions for miles and miles around. Some of Basildon’s features and especially suburbs are truly on the same **** scale as any of the **** holes named and […]

Billericay the bullsh*t town of Essex

Billericay is one of the slightly lesser known towns of Essex and those who don’t know it, think it’s a posh place. Only the houses in Norsey road are posh, otherwise it’s a sh*thole full of *****. South Green is probably the worst part of Billericay especially the shopping area where drug dealers and druggies […]

Harlow – Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter…

I like to think I’m a fairly hardened sort of person towards ugliness but I was not prepared for Harlow. I spent the early parts of my life in such, shall we say less than aesthetically pleasing, places as Middlesbrough, Bradford, Stoke-on-Trent and pre-gentrification Hackney. About five years, ago, I started a new job in […]

Romford is commonly referred to as ‘**** town’

Romford is commonly referred to as ‘**** town’ and i’ve heard that a number of times when people have asked me where i’m from. The thing is, it’s hard to dislike Romford – it’s a slice of fried gold next door to Dagenham and gangster paradise Ilford. But, it’s notorious for a lot of really […]
