Northfield, Birmingham, the worst place anybody could wish to live

Living in Northfield, Birmingham

Probably the worst place anybody could wish to live. I was finally liberated two years ago when I moved to Halesowen – another ****** town but nothing on the scale of Northfields. I lived for 15 years in a street called Nigel Avenue, just off Bell Hill. We found ourselves seperated from the mainstream ‘****’ […]

Dudley – A major hole

Living in Dudley, West Midlands

OK. I live just outside Dudley, and there are plenty of *****, which i wish [in my imagination only] i could pick off with a rifle or magnum of some kind.

Weoley Castle, Birmingham: it’s rough, Weoley, Weoley rough

Living in Weoley Castle, Birmingham

Welcome to Birmingham, Britain’s 2nd city. Actually a self-appointed title, presumably because it’s second only to London when it comes to concrete, piss-distressed shopping centres and unemployment. Whilst Brummies will (no chips on shoulders here, bab) remind you the city has more mileage of canal than Venice (the difference being that in the Midlands you […]
