• nothing to do.lack of stiuff for teenages
• well the local people who own the local shops are not the brightest.eg;there are many people who work in offices in the town, so at lunchtime they all want to have a look in the shops and even get a bite to eat, however, being the simple people they are, they shut for lunch, you will never understand those local muppets...sorry but it is true
• The Lloyds cashpoint always runs out of money, so you'll have to pay and use the Midland one.
• The Traffic Warden Mr Hunt who apparently is not in town on a Wednesday so park where you like that day !!
• There are no interesting shops
• That somebody always objects when anybody proposes the new footbridge
• Public Transport (or lack of it)

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
