Braunton – Posh yet grimy

Is Braunton a nice place to live or is Braunton rough?

Braunton is a village that at first appearances, seems rather hip and cool. It has some nice pubs that cater to the middle class and also the working class… and that’s about all. You will find Braunton to be full and I mean full of 40-60 year old Karens and dodgy Daves from all social […]

North Devon: the second home ghost-coast nightmare

Is Barnstaple a nice place to live or is Barnstaple rough?

North Devon – once a thriving district comprising over sixty civil parishes – includes Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, Instow, South Molton, Lynton and Lynmouth. And it’s full of trophy homes. How would you like to live in a community where half of local domestic properties are empty second homes, or holiday lets? Where people are being evicted […]

Karens tour of North Devon

Is Woolacombe a nice place to live or is Woolacombe rough?

If you are thinking of moving here to live by the sea in Devon while working in a job under £30’000 a year?? Then don’t! What you’ll get is either a victorian slum that’s overpriced, or a nice apartment in a block full of holiday homes. And believe me, Karen’s will constantly belittle you for […]

Ilfracombe: gluten intolerant middle class nightmare

Is Ilfracombe a nice place to live or is Ilfracombe rough?

It’s about time we stopped knocking the working class and poor *****. The biggest problem I believe Ilfracombe has, is its whole generation of 16-24 year olds raised by middle class parents. They fill Ilfracombe’s restaurants and cafés, announcing every self diagnosed intolerance. Gluten intolerance or lactose, if it’s trendy to have… They have it. […]

North Devon – Don’t do it!

Is Combe Martin a nice place to live or is Combe Martin rough?

If you were thinking of moving to your over-priced dream North Devon property for a new life, then read on. Unfortunately everybody else had the same idea. Chopsy Brummies, cockneys, scousers, incompetent caterers, useless Pub landlords, and robbing shysters, have settled their fat arses down here already. Sorry about that. Devon isn’t paradise, it’s Sheffield […]

South Molton, Devon’s graveyard

Is South Molton a nice place to live or is South Molton rough?

With the smallest Sainsburys in the UK located in an old shed to the cruddiest dirty market in the SW. The only shops are charity shops and cafés full of gaseous pensioners. Nothing interesting happens in this town. Once or twice a year a few locals dress up as victorian peasants rather than 21st century […]

Landkey is a depressing festering place

Is Landkey a nice place to live or is Landkey rough?

I came to Devon to enjoy life and have fun and must be off my head to have gone with Landkey. Landkey is only a few miles out of Barnstaple but it might as well be 500 years ago in feudal times, because the reality of one of the small minded ****** locals coming at […]

Combe Martin in Devon – Bolshie Brummies a plenty

Is Combe Martin a nice place to live or is Combe Martin rough?

Combe Martin is a Devonshire bumpkin village and small “seaside resort” (apparently), about 4 miles east of Ilfracombe in North Devon. There are very few Devonians left in this **** town, where the average age is 0-18 or over 60; anyone else who wants a normal life ‘gets the hell out of Dodge’, and lets […]
