Bristol: A battle between hipster and yokel

Living in Bristol

Bristolians are often derided for their farmer-come-pirate accents, and have never been though of as the classiest of folks. This is probably due to their lack of class. However, something has happened to Bristol over the past 10 years or so. Coffee shops, micro-breweries and organic food stores are springing up everywhere, ‘hipsters’ are filling […]

I watched Deliverance the other day, it made me think of Cinderford

Living in Cinderford, Gloucestershire

I watched the movie Deliverance the other day, and immediately it made me think of Cinderford, a former coal mining community in West Gloucestershire that I have had the misfortune of visiting on several occasions. The fundamental similarities are there: lots of trees and lots of *******. I live close to Cinderford in the marginally […]

Combe Martin, North Devon – The CamberWickerMan Green Village

Living in Combe Martin, Devon

It’s an unfortunate well-known fact that the further north you go in Devon, the uglier and weirder the people. People don’t usually move to dark and windswept Combe Martin, they’re sent or abducted to this village of strange rites and pagan rituals on the edge of Exmoor. This is the racist alcoholics’ graveyard with a […]

Combe Martin: The zit on the **** of England

Living in Combe Martin, North Devon

If the world had piles, they’d be in Combe Martin, North Devon. I live here, but you can’t call it life.

What you need is people from Birmingham, […]

Landkey North Devon: best to pry it loose and let it float away, to France preferably

Living in Lanky, Devon

If you picture the South West as a full functioning body then Landkey must be a hemorrhoid: it is annoying, and best removed as soon as possible. The landscape is quite nice as is the proximity to the sea but the people living, or rather waiting to die, in Landkey make it a truly miserable […]

Living in Northleach, Gloucestershire

Northleach is a traditional Cotswold village nestled covertly within the boundaries of sleepy mid-Gloucestershire.
