Haworth, home of the Brontes, the famous literary family. Japanese tourists flock here to see the Bronte Parsonage (ahhh Blontees). Other tourists flock here to visit the famous cobbled main street, with olde worlde tea shops, pubs and cottages, ride on the steam railway and take a scenic walk on the moors. Sounds nice doesn’t […]

Visit Bradford, The pound shop mecca of the north. You call em ****’s we call em scroats… different name, same ****. They swan around in their ‘George at Asda’ burbury caps, and Adidas tracksuit tops from Matalan, 2 for a fiver. They all hang around outside Burger King while the bird gets her tammys from […]

Apparently the most blingin’ place for a filthy ******** to hang out is the Leisure Exchange where they flick the v’s at any non-**** who happens to wander by. […]

Harrogate has previously won “Happiest Place to Live in Britain” awards. Unfortunately it has dropped a few places on those rankings, mostly because surveys have shown that many, many people who live in Harrogate are really miserable gits. It also ranks highly for the most drunk driving convictions in Yorkshire and the most usage of […]

I’ve lived in Bishop’s Stortford for the past seven years and the best words I can think of to describe the experience are “more frustrating than a spoon with a hole in it”. The thing is, it could be a perfectly nice town with just a bit of care and thought. It certainly looks nice […]

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 […]

Welcome all readers. This is my article on Huddersfield. I will be explaining to you why Huddersfield is an absolute **** hole. Lets begin, shall we? I’ve lived in Huddersfield for a long time. I grew up here, watching it disintegrate into nothing but a pile of sh*t. The town centre is far by the […]

Having read articles on Hull, Sheffield, Bradford, Leeds and Middlesbrough, I think that it’s about time to redress the balance. For the uninitiated, in 1979 a new Prime Minister was elected in the UK. Immediately she set about doing what her party did best. And she was best at it out of all of them. […]

Toddington. Once a place of friendly people who all knew each other and got along. Now a horrible village full of wannabe ‘Lutoners’. They are ‘badmen’ who are very ‘ARD’ and walk the streets of Toddington frightening everyone they pass. The main group of raucus young badmen call themselves the Toddy Riding Squad. They spend […]
