Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: We are going down on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:19:31 Such a crap place to live? I have lived here all my life and I have just returned from home travelling around the uk and I can honestly say that sadly this is the worse place I have seen sadly.
Now I know why many of my friends have moved out of the area after seing some wonderfull places in the uk. Something needs to be done about this dump. Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: walrus on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:24:41 Good one.... If you're gonna come on here at least give us a bit of decent amusing banter to reply to....
Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: my-velocity on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:27:10 Go back around the country then, you didn't have to come back. Yes, some parts of Swindon are a bit rundown but there are some nice parts to Swindon that are nice places to live or go to.
And refering to your screen name "We are going down" you obviously haven't got the belief that most Swindon Fans do and with the table so tight this year we don't know what'll happen. Your obviously one of these fans that have wrote us of already and think we'll go down and out easy, WRONG. That is all :roll: Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: The Grim Reaper on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:32:31 You obviously have not seen all the UK on your travells then. Granted Swindon may not be the Centre of the universe but its modern, clean and has most facilities compared to some of the shit holes I have had the pleasure of visiting during away games. Here are amongst the worst:
1. Luton. Biggest shithole ever. Might as well been in Pakistan. 2. Hull. More akin to something from the Czech Republic. 3. Gillingham. Full of chavs and pikeys. Your posh if you shop at Matalan here. 4. Southend. Cockney wannabies. 5. Barnsley. Northern slum town full of cafes serving bacon sarnies. Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:35:45 ive been around a lot of places in the uk and Swindon isnt half as bad as those. When I went to Luton I almost died.
still, we could be in Argentina Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: my-velocity on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:37:41 Some parts of Watford are bad too.
Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: Tails on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:37:52 i've travelled around the UK and compared to a lot of places in the UK Swindon is a fucking metropolis.
Thats why I don't get everyone moaning about Swindon. You don't like it - move to Middlesbrough and then you'll see what a shithole is.

It's probably because you live in a caravan Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: Batch on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:42:15 I'm hopefully moving to swindon soon, so :fu: :o
To be honest there are nicer places to live. But even they have problems. Example: My Mrs is from York. Beautiful town. Jam full of fooking tourists most of the year and a real shit to park in the town centre. Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 14:45:40 I agree. I drove past Middlesborough and all I could see was industrial buildings and run-down housing EVERYWHERE. And as for Luton :|

Exactly where are you comparing Swindon to? For example, if you are trying to compare Swindon with Torquay/Bournemouth (in fact most places on the coast with a beach), its always going to compare negatively. The same with any place with natural beauty and major tourist attractions. All places have their problems, Swindon is no different to most, but there are hundreds of worst places in this country to live. IMHO, the standard of living in Swindon is generally quite good for the area. Rather Swindon than Bristol. And if you don't like it, just move somewhere you do like and stop moaning.

Agree with that. 8) Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: DV on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 16:04:07 You've obviously never been to

Don't go to st.pauls or you'll get shot or mugged.
Some parts of swindon are ok. Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: Ironside on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 21:11:46 I blame the wogs
Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 21:16:38 The biggest problem with swindon is that a lot of it is pretty soulless. All a bit quick built modern rubbish. I've been lucky though growing up in old town then going to exeter. Both prety nice places.
Title: Why Is Swindon Post by: Asher on Sunday, March 5, 2006, 21:54:36 Fucking hell, Watford isnt that bad, yes around the ground is a tad bit rough, one council estate called south oxhey however a mile outside is bushey a village that has some of teh most expensive and sought after properties outside London.
(for the record I lived in bushey) Watford isnt bad I pop back each month and not bad, you get a lot of people coming for nights out from hemel and lutoin which causes problems at night but thats it |
