Towns & Cities that are F----d.

[Bill Walker]

Once when I was about 19 me and a few mates piled into this van with a tent and decided to go camping for a night in what we thought was Sherwood Forest. We pitched the tent on Sat afternoon and saw on the map the nearest town was Worksop ! So off we all go for a pub crawl round Worksop, check out the chicks etc...
What a bunch of weird fuckers inhabited that place in the 70s, as the night went on and the locals got more and more pissed it got much much worse, death stares, ignored at the bar till all the local freaks got served. Just a very strange and worrisome atmosphere in every pub we stumbled in.
I swear we were actually scared going back to the tent, it was like they'd all been smoking crack, I attempted to confer with a couple of locals who (I think) told me that Common hobbies in Worksop include getting shitfaced and hitting someone with a bit of wood, committing suicide, and intergenerational welfare dependency. As it got close to midnight I fully expected the night might play out like one of those movies where 4 lads go camping and disappear, forever. I feared we'd be woken at 3 am with a sort of KKK gathering around our tent..

If someone ate a shit and then shat it out again, 70s Worksop would be that second shit. In mathematical terms, shit times shit equals Worksop. It’s the shit in a shit pie if the pastry was also shit.

Stockport - scally central.
Barrow - it’s still 1983 there.

I saw a article about the regeneration of Stockport and some crap about red rocks . But what made me laugh was it actually said Stockport is the new Berlin. The crack head who wrote that needs sectioning. More like Baghdad or basra . I was there last week and they have put a few new sections of block paving on mersey/misery way . I've said for years if aliens landed there they would think it had been bombed or had a nuclear incident.

1983 you say, I quite enjoyed that year, things certainly seemed a lot more positive than they do today.

Reminds me of a time in the 00s when the Daily Recod published a story in a Friday about how out of the top 10 most impoverished areas in the UK, the top 6 were in Glasgow. We, Hibs, played Celtc the Saturday in Glasgow. For the whole game we chanted “top 6, you’ll always be top 6”. Good times.

I wouldn’t believe a think they say on there. On their list of nice places to live they list Swindon (which is the arsehole of Wiltshire) and fucking Norwich. If people think some of the areas in the north are in-bread wait until you visit Norfolk, it’s the land that time forgot, they positively laugh at people only being able to count to 6 on one hand.
There’s a reason why it’s so difficult to get to Norwich, it’s to make it hard for the locals to escape.

Go to Oldham.

Have a walk around.

Close this thread.

Where? Delph, Dobcross, Austerlands, Moorside, Greenfield, High Crompton? Oldham isn’t just Werneth, Glodwick, Westwood, Coldhurst… Some shitty places and some nice places, like most Northern English Industrial towns.

It's worse now.
