Portishead, on the muddy shores of the Severn Estuary

Living in Portishead

Portishead. A band, but also a place with a rather unique and confused bunch of inhabitants. A bit of geography. Portishead is eight miles west of Bristol, on the muddy shores of the Severn Estuary. Pose yourself a question. What kind of house – and householder – would you expect to find next door to a grizzly coal […]

Antrim – the entire place is a sh*t heap

Living in Antrim, Northern Ireland

Antrim is the place that defies normal town planning, most places have “good areas” and “bad areas”; Antrim, on the other hand, makes no distinction between good and bad – the entire place is a sh*t heap. A neglected and run down collage of council estates, populated with the idiots that moved from Belfast and […]

Yeovil, neatly situated in the **** end of nowhere

Living in Yeovil, Somerset

Right then, where to begin. By being neatly situated in the **** end of nowhere so we get the **** from the outlying villages rolling in (Stoke, Martock, Tintinhull, im looking at you all) and by being a town where all there is to do is grow old and by cheap cider, its  a perfect […]

Winson Green, Birmingham: it was a BIG mistake moving there, it’s a major hole!

Living in Winson Green, Birmingham

Me and my girlfriend moved to Birmingham about 6 months ago after I finished my Degree in Stoke University. I have to admit, little research was done on my part regarding nice places to live and we just went for somewhere near town that was relatively cheap. BIG MISTAKE! The day we moved in we […]

Boston, Lincs, every bad thing done to excess

Living in Boston, Lincolnshire

well, I found myself unfortunate to live in Boston for eight, nearly nine years. I’ve lived in a lot of places; some good some bad. In Scotland, Wales and England I’ve lived and worked in some towns, some mentioned on this site so I can say honestly that Boston is without doubt ‘as rough as […]

Ode to Basildon

Basildon, Essex, Property guide and review

Some people don’t know that they’re born. How can they possibly class largely middle-class Essex communities such as Billericay and Brentwood as “c**v towns,” when the mother of them all, the capital city of Chavdom and South Essex’s own Gotham City lies menacingly just over the horizon? They simply aren’t in the same league. In […]

Living in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire

Oh dear, I’ve lived in Wootton Bassett for donkey’s years now. I grew up in a peaceful neighborhood, went to good schools, made lots of friends. But children grow up don’t they?

Burton Latimer – The hole of Kettering

Living in Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire

Everyone knows what a **** is, supposedly? The big gangs of kids and teenagers, who hang around together outside McDonald’s and ironically the police station, to look cool and make out they don’t care what others think. This point would be proven if they didn’t go around smacking every other person who looked at them […]
