The Majestic Channon Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 Lincoln is a fine city, plenty of worse places about. Even just in Lincolnshire; have you never been to Boston? Another Lincolnshire Saint? No but i used to stay in Nettleham a lot. Used to go in some rock club in lincoln as it was the only place that would let us in ! Don't suppose you are the bloke from lincoln i met in a pub in blackburn a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 But it's true. The north is grim. The Lake District, the Peak District, the Pennines, the Cheviots, the Yorkshire ( damn them all ) Dales, the Northumberland Moors, the north-east coastline, Dumfries and Galloway, Snowdonia. All less than 2 hours from my house. Yep, it sure is grim up here :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 Lincoln is a fine city, plenty of worse places about. Even just in Lincolnshire; have you never been to Boston? I'm in Rutland which is the last nice area before you enter the fens so i know Boston and the area well enough to say it's got to be the worst place to live in England. There's nothing there, there's no scenery, the only jobs are picking tulips or or working in a garden centre. I pity the Polish (who will soon be the biggest ethnic grouping) for landing in such a god forsaken place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 Oft quoted as the most boring town in England. It also has the very dubious claim to fame of being the birthplace of the grocer's daughter turned chemist and then antichrist. I think that's very unfair on the people of Stafford. And yes, Gratham has given the world Newton, Thatcher and myself. Which means we invented gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't suppose you are the bloke from lincoln i met in a pub in blackburn a few years ago? Not that I recall.

I pity the Polish (who will soon be the biggest ethnic grouping) for landing in such a god forsaken place. You live in Rutland yet state that there is nothing in da' shire, you are a fool. Lincolnshire could invest in some scenery (although, only a complete cretin would say that it is lacking anyway) in much the same way that Rutland did a few years back by piggy backing onto any development scheme then ****ing over the planning regulations and ruining the livelihoods of many families. And yes, Gratham has given the world Newton, Thatcher and myself. Which means we invented gravity. And America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 (edited) You live in Rutland yet state that there is nothing in da' shire, you are a fool. Lincolnshire could invest in some scenery (although, only a complete cretin would say that it is lacking anyway) in much the same way that Rutland did a few years back by piggy backing onto any development scheme then ****ing over the planning regulations and ruining the livelihoods of many families. Not all Lincolnshire is a horrible, just 95% of it. Stamford is lovely and full of character. But drive 5 miles the other side of Stamford and it's like entering the twilight zone. Mile upon mile of flat boring fields intersected with straight boring roads and straight boring drains. Occasionally you might see a pebbledashed farmhouse last painted in the 1950's, or a stall selling vegetables, or a road side cafe. Lovely. Drive a bit further and you reach the resorts of Skeggy, Mablethorpe and Jinglebells. I use the term resorts in the loosest possible term as it's a collection of static caravans, fruitmachine arcades, and chip shops. As for beaches well what can i say. Scrubby sand dunes and the sea about mile in the distance, but hey the air is bracing. So we move back inland and to the market town of Grantham. Oh dear. This has got to be the fat capital of england with all the woman weighing about 20 stone and ugly. The remainder of the population are chavs. All in all Lincolshire is the county that the rest of England forgot. And i can't say i blame them. A truely horrible county and i'm in no way exagerating. Oh and the stuff about Rutland, i'd reply but haven go a clue what you're on about. Edited 7 May, 2009 by Mole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essruu Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 You'll be pleased to know that the old Woolworths building in Shirley is about to reopen as a 99p Store.

Arizona Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Must speak up for Lincoln. Nice cathedral and nice town/people, in my experience. As a collection of buildings, it's not all that bad. It's just the collection of mongs you see wandering round the city centre that p*sses me off. Think we had the highest % of recreationaldrug users per capita a couple of years back too. Lincoln is alright, once met a bird from Newark on holiday, though, went up one weekend to see her..... WHAT A F*CKING SH!THOLE!!!!!! Newark makes Lincoln look like Notting Hill. Abi Titmuss was in joint sixth form when I was at school so I walked the same halls as her. Fact. Did she get her tits out and start lezzing it up? If so rule 1.

Barney Trubble Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 I was just driving through a total ****hole of a council estate in Birmingham, a few more observations that seem to have a common thread with other ****hole places. 1) Either one or a combination of an old washing machine/fridge/freezer/mattress/bed/cupboard on the pavement or dumped on the gardens of the occupants house(s), which just stay there for months as they await the council to move them for nothing, rather than phone the council up themselves and pay the paltry council charge for removal, which is about £12 for five items 2) Garden walls that have been knocked down with a sledgehammer to make way for a rusty and probably not roadworthy car to be parked where a nice lawn should be. 3) Bus stops which are full of yoofs trying to look intimidating by holding a can of beer or a bottle of white lightning cider. 4) Fat women pushing puschairs with about five other kids running about behind them. These kids will usually be of all different races, a few white, some with black fathers and the odd one with an asian father. 5) CCTV all over the streets and shops and some chippies/take-away's have doormen. However, in most cases the doorman will be the father of the local council estate hard knock family who think they own the estate. 6) Graffiti sprayed over the street or road name signs on every corner. 7) The smell of fear and tension if you ever walk through the area. It's hard to describe but it's an innate sense that kicks in when you know an area has it's troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
