Shaftesbury – it’s great if you’re old and rich

Living in Shaftesbury, Dorset

Perched atop of the famous “Gold Hill” of the Ridley Scott Hovis advert, Shaftesbury has a high street of woe. A mixture of charity shops, coffee shops (last count 10 for a population of 5,000 odd) and gift shops for the grockles. If you need to buy something useful such as a paintbrush or a […]

Salisbury – well there’s two types of people

Living in Salisbury, Wiltshire, South West

I have lived in Salisbury my whole life – unfortunately. If you’re looking for somewhere to make your life seem longer, then this is the place for you. The days drag on at such an unbearable rate in this dull boring little ‘city’, I already feel twice my age. You will get some people who […]

Landkey is a depressing festering place

Living in Landkey, Devon

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 […]

Nailsea: Where the old come to die

Living in Nailsea, Somerset

I’ve lived in Nailsea most of my life and like everyone else below the age of 20, can’t wait to get hell out of the place. In the last 5 years they’ve bit more old folks homes than actual houses so walking the streets makes you think you’ve wandered onto the set for the next […]

Salisbury: I spy with my 3rd eye

Living in Salisbury, Wiltshire

I have lived in Salisbury on and off for the last 12 years now and it becomes more and more backwards as the years roll on. Im originally from oop north and it still sends the ******* into a frenzy when they here your accent considering its a massive army town. It’s groundhog day, Royston […]

Weymouth: Every day is like Sunday

Living in Weymouth, Dorset

“Every day is like Sunday”, warbled famous songster Morrissey, in his tale of a bleak, broken seaside town. He was clearly visiting Weymouth when he wrote it. But let’s take you through a guided tour of the stunning sights “the **** of Dorset” has to offer the unwitting tourist. The Beach Undoubtedly a stunning vista, […]

Combe Martin in Devon – Bolshie Brummies a plenty

Living in Combe Martin, Devon

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 […]

Cheltenham: For people who like Waitrose and gushing about their salary

Living in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Before I start piling on the insults, let me just say I actually DO really like Cheltenham. It’s got a lot going for it; beautiful regency architecture, a great restaurant scene, lovely parks etc. It isn’t the town itself that I wish to shame, but the sorry excuses for human beings that live and breed […]

North Devon: Fawlty Towers meets Filthy Rich and Cat Flap

Living in North Devon

North Devon, the land of hospitality and great scenery. well at least the scenery and coastline pass muster. Living here is like living a 1970s sitcom, and to be blunt it’s just as cheesy. Why, how? – really glad you asked – let us begin… Hospitality? Picture Fawlty Towers, if you will, and throw in […]

The Isle of Portland: The jewel in Dorset’s butt cheeks

Living in the Isle of Portland, Dorset

Portland: People often say “it’s lovely, all the sea views, all the views of the coast it’s beautiful”. I would like to point out that those are views of something that is NOT Portland. Turn 180 degrees and look at the grey houses, the grey people with baffled expressions when faced with anything more modern […]

Braunton – Atlantis of *****

Living in Braunton, North Devon

Following on from someone else’s accurate review of Braunton, I thought I should add my own. Braunton is a small village located in one of the highest risk of flooding next to Atlantis. Which though they have finally bought better flood defences. It will do no good in another 5 years. The kids that live […]

Kingswood, Bristol: Sounds like a great place to live, isn’t!

Living in Kingswood, Bristol

Most of the people who live in Kingswood fit into one of these four categories: a **** a mother with 4+ children which she has no control over some old bloke with type 2 diabetes, going to Parsons/Greggs every day someone who has tried to succeed in life, but has failed miserably Kingswood is always […]
