Breaston: stuck in the year 1500, village of *******

The Derbyshire village called Breaston, is still stuck in caveman times. If you’re pro hunting, fox hunting etc, then this might be the place for you. Folk who live here are Neanderthals, can spot them by the way they speak words like “UGG”, scrapping their clubs along the ground or their fists. Highlight of the […]

Forth – a grey & moribund carbuncle on the ****-end of Scotland

The late great Rik Mayall once called Nottingham ‘a dark Godless void on the edge of human misery’, which exactly correlates with my feelings about Forth in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Cumbernauld’s little but equally-as-ugly little brother. Granted, it is a village – but hell is it depressing. A grey and moribund carbuncle on the ****-end of […]

Bakewell: **** in the Peak

Seriously I left Devon to be here? We decided to move as my husband’s family are from the area. However, my initial impressions of this place being a tranquil, unspoilt gem of the Peak District, is a but like implying that it’s ok to **** on someone’s door – which probably goes on here.
