The people are either locals who hate you setting foot in the county or
ex Londoners who bought up all the pokey little cottages which tends to
be ideally stereotypical and everyone hates them for sure. The pubs are
distantly unfriendly to tourists (locals are welcomed) and the
proprieters glare at you as though you come from outer space. The
panorama is nothing, not a patch, on the scale of Snowdonia or most of
beautiful Scotland. Its overrun with with hikers and cars because the
region isn't THAT large. Over rated theres nothing there when you need
it but IS perhaps when you dont, like a crappy roadside disgustingly
fatty burger trailer with overpriced teas except in central Exeter but
then I expect thats how it should be.To cap it all you have Will Hand
head local chief in command senior water dowser and Meteorological Self
Healer, Paul Dawlish from the rabbit Warren, his sidekick, Dave Naylor
t'other side of the Moor often cannot be found, Nick 'the Otter' Gardner
always building a damn for himself and several east & West Dorset types
who try to be part of the cult.

If you want depressingly grim and terrible come to Wolverhampton!

It has shootings, stabbings, chavs, and illegal immigrants. Most of the
city is taken up by chav council estates. It as a 1970's town centre
that tries to pretend to be a modern 21st century city centre. There’s
new pavements and lampposts but most of the buildings are from the first
half of the C20th. The newest shops in the city centre are shopping
centres that were built in the 1960's . There's nothing of note, the
University is near the bottom of the league table, it should be called a
polytechnic at most. There's no modern new buildings towering toward
heaven. The old buildings are dilapidated and dirty. No prestigious
entertainment halls. No luxury hotels. Our Global and national renown
manufacturing industries have all but gone.

WHY DO I LIVE IN THIS DAMN CITY !!!!!

Well I like it and don't have any of your problems when I go there.


...... uk.sport.cricket is quite a good site for racism :-(


Dave, S.Essex


Well, I dont live in the SW, but wish that I did. It has got to be better
than Reading.
Just for info Dave R, I do find your article offensive and not amusing in
the slightest.
Why bother to prodiuce such a rant, when you knew that it would cause
offence to some?
Looks as though you are heading for the 'blocked senders folder'.
Pity, because sometimes you do have something sensible to say regarding the
weather.

rain on you, doesn't it? *)) I wish you good weather this weekend and
a super day on Monday!

Jimmy Mullen was a hero of mine in my early days.
I would have moved to Wolverhampton, but my father used to take me to watch
Derby County then.

I bet you get that response wherever you go - at least when they get to know
you for the ignorant bore that you are.

Say hello to my kill-file.
