Nearly got rear ended today!!

Sorry if my comments offended anyone but I have been forced to work in "The Stink" for many years.

My abiding memories are of being squashed into a stinky out of date transport(Tube/Train/Bus) system, of people barging and pushing me whilst walking down the pavement, and I'm 6'4" and 25 Stone so imagine how more normal sized people must get treated, of constant beggars and hawkers and other sales types wanting "just a few minutes" of my time, of overcrowded overpriced pubs, of constant noise and the stink of exhaust fumes and fast food outlets and the stink of coffee from the ubiquitous coffee junkie outlets. <shudder>

Where I live is not much better. It's less crowded but still not pleasant.

As for me becoming a politician,.... I'm not allowed to. I'm an anarchist and we don't believe in it.  ;D

I dont think anyone was offended, I'm the first to agree that my home town is an undesirable location. I've just had the dogs out over Ilkley Moors, 20 miles or so from where I live, its a different world there. As I slowly drove back towards Bradford you cant help but notice the deprivation creeping in around you.   :(

Bradford gets bit of a bad rep. The outskirts are lovely. My mate lives in BD5 and that is a dump. Unfortunately, it's the deprived areas that pop to the mind when thinking of Bradford

I actually feel a lot better now, knowing that someone lives in a worse area of Bradford than me!!  ;D

Then you know that Bradford ain't the worst place.....i was there for 10 years...explains why i live darn sarf' ::)

I lived in London for 5 years on and off. Explains why I'm back up norf.

Rochdale is a dump. I once got slated on Facebook for calling Oldham a dump. So the next day I took some pics and posted them online  ;D Didn't get any arguments after that. Pity because both are next to the Pennines.

Manchester is also a dump.

Apologies if your town/city hasn't been slated in this thread. Let us know where you live and we can have a go  ;D

[fatharry]

Bracknell!!

Dump!! ;D

I think I'll stick to living out in the sticks of pembrokeshire,  quiet roads, lovely scenery and beaches and the native are fairly friendly too, only problem is silly season and holiday makers are about to clutter up the roads as Easter approaches
