west midlands - iLiveHere: Best & Worst UK Towns Reviewed

Beaumont Leys

Beaumont Leys, built and designed for only one reason – to house the criminal population of Leicester. I have seen a fair few council estates in my time, but Beaumont Leys takes the award for the worst, and most lawless. One could describe it as a low security prison. I lived there for two years […]

Tipton, a hive of villainy

Tipton is in the Black Country, part of the West Midlands. It used to be one of the most industrial and smoky towns in England but most of the factories have now been closed and knocked down. It’s made the air in Tipton less dirty but unemployment has gone up in the last 20 years. […]

Leek: Lock your windows and don’t make eye contact

The signs say as you enter, “Queen of the Moorlands”. Those in the know say as they enter “Lock you windows and don’t make eye contact, you know i love you very much don’t you”. Leek is in the unfortunate situation of not only being a typical **** breeding ground, but a total **** hole […]

Walsall, It surely is a sight to behold

I have just stumbled upon this website and found that theres not enough mention of the wonderful Walsall. I live in Aldridge a little village next to Walsall which hardly anyone has heard of and consequently I have to admit grudgingly that I’m from Walsall. This place is surely the capitol of *****. It surely […]

Bedworth, oh deary me…

How can I begin to describe Bedworth? , Oh deary me… Well for a start I live not too far away from the much coverted ‘Jock Estate’ so I tend to have constant first hand experiences of the local population of dimwitted natives. For example, the other day I was outside washing my car when a gaggle […]

Tipton, West Midlands

Tipton used to be one of the worst towns in England but it’s improved a bit in the last 10 years with regeneration and better places to live. But it’s a real **** town where nearly everyone under the age of 20 wears a baseball cap and a hoodie. The **** capital of Tipton is […]

Newcastle Under Lyme: thinks itself a less downmarket Stoke-On-Trent

Living in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire

Newcastle Under Lyme likes to think itself as the less downmarket version of Stoke On Trent, but any resident would be able to tell you this is not the case. Apparently, all the UK’s gold supplies are controlled from this town. And indeed there is a pompous, flashy marble building called ‘The Gold Centre’. And […]

Erdington, the u-bend in the toilet of North Birmingham

Hot on the trainer-heels of Kingstanding is the delightful suburb of ERDINGTON, the u-bend in the toilet of North Birmingham. Allow me to take you on a journey through this green and putrid land. Park your stolen car anyway near Six-Ways-to-get-mugged Island. Try and park half on the kerb, to ensure maximum annoyance to anyone […]

The cesspools of Nuneaton

Now then. I have read all the reports on the **** culture breeding in and around the cess pools of Nuneaton, yet I feel certain things have been missed. Firstly, nestled deep in the heart of Stockingford (or ‘the ford’ as it is affectionately and originally known), is The Nuneaton Academy, formerly known as Alderman […]

Weoley Castle, Birmingham: it’s rough, Weoley, Weoley rough

Welcome to Birmingham, Britain’s 2nd city. Actually a self-appointed title, presumably because it’s second only to London when it comes to concrete, piss-distressed shopping centres and unemployment. Whilst Brummies will (no chips on shoulders here, bab) remind you the city has more mileage of canal than Venice (the difference being that in the Midlands you […]
