Coventry = Liberal Dump

Living in Coventry, West Midlands

I’ve seen many articles on here proclaiming Coventry to be a dump, and, in spite of what the primitive Coventrians in the comments will tell you, I can assure you that all you have read is indeed true: Coventry is a dump. This once great industrial city has been reduced to nothing but one huge […]

Hereford, a city of two halves

Living in Hereford

Pretty cathedral ✔ Attractive riverside walks ✔ An array of interesting independent shops ✔ Buuuuut . . . . Obese natives ✔ run down council estates ✔ rife unemployment ✔ Hereford is a city of contradictions.

Living in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham

So, You’ve recently been ‘out cost’ by London’s ridiculously expensive rent costs and you decide “Sutton Coldfield, sounds like a really calm and tranquil town!

Ross-on-Wye: marrying your sister, charity shops and fights

Living in Ross-on-wye

They say Ross on Wye is the birthplace of modern tourism. However the things it is most famous for are; **********, charity shops and fights outside the Eagle on a Saturday night. Ross on Wye has more charity shops than people. Every building is taken up by either a charity shop, run down pub or […]

Leek: just like any other midlands town, just don’t expect a McDonalds

Living in Leek, Staffordshire

Great Bridge, Tipton: Nothing but a dingy, depressing toilet

Living in Great Bridge, West Midlands

What filthy, depressing hovel. I actually think Great bridge should have two things removed: 1). The word “Great”, and 2). its town status. There are some decent, salt of the earth people here, but they’re moving out, dying out, or just staying out on account of the growing number of **** descending upon the place. […]

Sutton Coldfield – Upvc and plenty of bling

Sutton Coldfield is an utterly horrible place to live. If you are thinking of buying a house here, I understand why. Birmingham doesn’t give you a wide choice of civilised and pretty alternatives. However, I would suggest you go into the centre, the area around Grace Church shpping centre night and day before commiting to […]
