Oldham – Drugs, Grooming and early death

Living in Oldham, Greater Manchester

I am not going to say that this manky Northern tip is full of ***** as it isn’t. It is full of ******* aspiring to become *****, it is that far down the social spectrum. Where to start is the main problem. Oldham was the richest town in the world at the height of the […]

Bolton… beyond the term “dreadful”

Living in Bolton, Greater Manchester

I luckily don’t live hereabout, but have been coming to see someone weekly over the last four years in this place called Bolton. I consider myself quite well travelled both in this country and abroad. I have witnessed some appalling places and sights in my 58 years, but with hand on heart, I have to […]

Bury: a difficult place to like

Living in Bury, Greater Manchester

I lived in Bury from 2014 to 2017 and it was a real eye opener. Bury has its own perfume – Eau de Weed which is particularly noticeable between the Spotted Cow and the Old Crow on Bell Lane. These two pubs host their own live shows every Thursday to Sunday – ‘Night of the […]

Darwen: a pretty little market town? the reality can’t be more different!

Living in Darwen, Lancashire

Darwen likes to promotes itself as a traditional pretty little market town, the reality however, can’t be any more different. People complain about Blackburn being full of *****, but at least there are brightly lit shops there to take your mind off the sheer scale of deprivation, teenage mothers, benefit claimants and alcoholics falling over […]

Bolton is a dump

Living in Bolton

Bolton itself is a dump. The best businesses are leaving or have left. Pound shops and cheap takeaways are everywhere. Some of the takeaways have reached the lofty heights of ONE star for hygiene. The usual benefits ********** are to be found pushing expensive prams while speaking their own language, which could be one of […]

Bury, the inconvenient spec on the Manchester A-Z

Living in Bury

Bury, the inconvenient spec on the Manchester A-Z, is home to what is erroneously named the “Famous Market” which is such a glorious shopping zone that it’s “Word Renowned”, well I asked somebody whilst on holiday with my paternal family in Pakistan “Did you know Bury Market” when I was asked where I reside. Bluntly […]

Radcliffe can trace its roots back to the Stone Age, archaeologists having found the remains of a settlement at the junction of the rivers Roch and Irwell.

I fear for the future of Farnworth

Living in Farnworth, Bolton

Farnworth, a subdistrict of Bolton, is a town which has never truly left its age-old village mentality in the past. The beginning of the problem stems from being confused about its place in the world. Being situated in between Bolton and Little Hulton, Farnworth is never really sure whether it is Boltonian or Salfordian. The […]

A good number of men living in Burnley have had it with their sister

Living in Burnley, Lancashire

Worst GCSE results in Britain during 2012, one of the highest unemployment rates, ***** football team and high welfare activity. The town should be in Yorkshire; the people of Burnley speak and act like a Yorkshire folk, it borders Yorkshire and has no place in God’s county – Lancashire. Turf Moore A.K.A. **** Morgue looks […]
