Leyther_Matt Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Good call. I was working in Workington recently. What a shithole. Stayed in Cockermouth though and that was lovely. Went to Workington on Sunday for the rugby but pitched up in Cockermouth from 12 til half 2. Cracking little town, some corking pubs, especially in the nice weather. I think Whitehaven isn't actually that bad either, especially around the 'marina'. Apparently Cleator Moor and the like are ones to steer clear of though. Quote
jazza Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Especially here? it's been nearly a fortnight... maybe you've forgotten I DON'T LIVE IN A FUCKING CARAVAN!! Quote
DazBob Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 it's been nearly a fortnight... maybe you've forgotten I DON'T LIVE IN A FUCKING CARAVAN!! Okay, okay. Quote
burndenpaddock Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 totally disagree... horrible place to look at but really down to earth nice friendly people. The thread wasn't about the people, I have a lot of family in Whitehaven & Workington and couldn't agree with you more, fine people in that part of the world. But you can't disagree that they are grim places. Quote

But you can't disagree that they are grim places. No, I can't I worked for a couple of years at Distington Landfill and if there is a more horrible place in England, I don't want to see or smell it You are 100% right Quote
Traf Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 As mentioned elsewhere, I worked that area for a while selling mortgages, pensions etc. Tough gig. Quote
gonzo Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Chinny reckon?? Hahaha I've not heard that since moor park primary 1990! Quote
Exiled Girl Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Crawley Gatwick's a good place to go though... Quote
Carlos Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 We had a do in the Aurora in Crawley, but stayed in a budget hotel down the road. "Don't walk back down here, it's dodgy". "Fuck off, that's a REAL Edwardian house, not Hall i'th' Wood". Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I'm not sure why Carlos has earmarked Great Lever as one of the last places in England you'd visit - there's much worse within town limits... It's quite verdant is Gee 'Ell. Quote
bolton in bedford Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Luton by a million miles. This. I have the joy of Luton everyday. Quote
no balls Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Great Lever really is fucking grim, up there with anywhere. It's a contender. As Spaz says, there's a few parts of Bolton I wouldn't venture into unless I had to. Quote
jules_darby Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Stockport. Horrible place and full of cunts. Wahey! Quote

jules_darby Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Offerton, then I went upmarket to Cheadle Hulme! I used to work on Cheadle Hulme And my Sister and Grandad live in Offerton...it's no worse than many places; depends which part I guess I'm moving back to Marple in a few weeks.... Brinny and Adswood are the biggest shitholes in Stockport. Oh and the own centre There's alot worse up there though Quote
Con Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Lived at Kelbrook Court in Offerton, Just off Alfreton Road, Cheadle Hulme was okay,, but has more than its fair share of knobs out and about. Have friends in Marple, nice place. Quote

Con Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 The "new money" in Cheadle Hulme seemed to be affluent Asians. Quote
