The Worst Things in Bath, Somerset*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Bath.

• Don't get me started on the worse things.. It may turn into a novel
• The dodgy tall man who lives next to Hay Hill church and tries to chat up schoolgirls on their way to school
• Jamie Williams is the best thing about Bath. He went to KES.
• monkton coombe school, the bag lady
• it's a bit snobby...
• The RUDE and then FAKE shop staff at Harvest, stopped going there...it only sells over priced shite.
• People think its all posh - its not. A flat in snow hill..sorry walcot house.. for over £100k? Are you having a laugh!?
• the tourists, a necessary evil
• Binks Restaurant Abbey Churchyard, Bath. Ordered a Ploughmans. The cheese was grated the ham was diced and so was all the salad. I'm a grown-up, I don't need my food cut up thanks.
• BIG ISSUE SELLERS, RUDE CHEAP SKATE LOCALS
• TeamBath Football Club
• Boring snobby old people coughing at you when you go to have a posh nite out to celebrate somethin.
• rude american tourists
• speed cameras tramps 1 way system traffic wardens, lack of parking bath uni students the bath spa project
• that fucking kid who thinks he switch tail slid garfunkles, what a twat!!
• the people who live there
• Anyone from the poshest school in bath and if the try to deny it fuking hit 'em. FUKING PRIOR PARK. there the worst of all of em.
• The TOURISTS, There are too many and you can't understand them.
• the blade scene!!
• Joe Fellows and Henry Goldson
• Royal Crescent, Odeon cinema
• Living by London prices without the matching wages
• The council's inept handling of: the Bath Spa project, traffic management, the Riverside project, the Southgate centre rejuvenation project. I can't criticise tourists, they will always want to visit Bath. But what must they think when they's been stuck in a traffic jam on London Road for half an hour before they've even got off the bus? Why is there still a set of traffic lights at the bottom of the old A46 - it just clogs up the London Road. No proper shops in the midlle of town any more.
• gets a bit boring after 8 years of living here and they should have a bowling alley and ice rink,that would be fun.
• All the 4 wheel drives of the Private schools, who "own the roads".
• the point when you think, oh crap theres a police car
• Various MVC crews, oh and the emo's
• The lower 6th form and the some of the yr11 from KES, they are all nobjockeys. They think that smoking weed and shit like that is so fucking cool...well...IT'S NOT!!! The G-Unit crew are such white niggers, wanting to be poor black kids from 'da hood', when they are rich white kids from rich snobby families. It pisses me off.
• Grod Grodler, the worst busker in Bath!!!
• The attitude of the people:they are an unfreindly bunch of middle class coke addicts who think they are richer and better than they are. The whole town is based on image, and image alone. Everyones very cliquey, its hard to make friends unless your prepared to be big headed, only talk about yourself and wear clothes such as Bench. Theres a huge ammount of Bench wearing fools who think becasue they take pills get loved up and talk falsely to other Bench wearers that it somehow makes them cool. Then theres the weekend hippies who are all talk, and really only intested in dressing like a hippie.The goth kids are all foul too, the kinda of crowd that pretends to be bisexual to try and be differnt, and talk loudly about the drugs they take to try and impress you. The older generation of middle class fakes have more money than morals. And then theres all the trevs who are alcholics and have to go to there temple (pub)everynight. Then theres the big heads with rich parents, that say things like "my mummy drives the same car as tony blair!" Its enough to make you sick. All in all the whole towns corrupt and image obsessed only move here if you have a high opinion of yourself and feel the need to let everyone else know how wonderous you are.
• The "bridge lady"... spare some change?
• Stuck up middle class wan#*rs who think its not valid to sell Big Issue. Think yourselves lucky you grew up somewhere as beautiful as Bath and have enough money to stick your nose up at people who are less fortunate!!!! be ashamed you nasty snobs. karma.........
• the hilton hotel
• The traffic wardens raised £8.4m last year. They have a ticket waiting for you! Being smart they have a dull grey uniform which means they can lurk unseen in the shadows waiting to pounce the second your ticket is overdue. Don't think you will get away with just getting one wheel inside the bay either. This of course means that effectively hundreds of parking spots are lost. Be very careful as a lot of parking spaces are residents with permits only spots. These are alternated with ones the you can park in. To raise all that money you will see them about on sundays too! Now where's that bike...
• the polution
• NOTHING FOR LOCALS
• F*^$*ing Tourists!
• Trevs
• royal high sluts? good for some, but the fun wears off when you realise they've been slitting their wrists open in geography lessons and everyones recieved their fair share of handjobs.
• King Edwards School is a complete shit hole, avoid it at all cost. The boys are all wankers and the girls are all whores.
• TOURISTS PONCEY MIDDLE CLASS STUDENTS WHO THINK THEY ARE THE BEST THING TO HIT BATH SINCE THE ROMANS BEGGARS LOADED LONDONERS (AS FEATURED ON SHITE LIKE LOCATION, LOCATION) BUYING SECOND HOUSES IN "QUINT OLD BATH" TOO MANY FUCKING "COFFEE SHOPS" THE UNBELIEVABLY STUPID COUNCIL TRAFFIC NO DECENT SHOPS - THEY ARE ALL OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE CLOTHES SHOPS CRACKHEADS FROM BRISTOL SNOW HILL EXPENSIVE BARS- OOOOHH THEY'RE SOOO CONTINENTAL BADGERLINE
• The traffic pollution..especialy in summer
• zoe mitchell, she is 2 fat
• route one hilton hotel
• To many bloody muppets on skateboard/skates/bmx riding through town on a saturday getting in everybodys way.Do us all a favour and stick to the ramps in vikky park and not outside Mc.donalds please!
• horrible place to live unless you are one of the many extremely pretentious and intolerably rich elitists.
• There are to many bladers at the skatepark
• the pigs
• Everybody in Bath hates boarding so watch out for cops and old ladies with handbags
• - the bus station - having to walk up a hill to get anywhere vaguely out of the centre of bath - the buses are crap and are never on time and finish too early and are really expensive like £2.10 for a return - the clubs are small and dont stay open late and the variety isnt that great considering baths reputation for being 'artisan' haha.
• bus depo, cadalacs, twerton people, homeless people, twerton.
• Traffic No venues for decent bands. And no, the local bands aren't decent
• A dump? How can you say that? I suppose you'd call Bristol beautiful because they serve beer @ £1.30 a pint? Student view perhaps?
• People walk so slowly and call you 'my loverrrr'. Everyone knows everyone and nothing ever happens.
• KES boys - they're so cool, smokin' weed in the park, and trashin' all the party venues in Bath...Don't worry though, Daddy'll pick up the bill.
• Mincers who sit drinking pink drinks in poofy clubs/wine bars, with their S2000 parked outside.
• Graffiti
• Smack headsand and mindless pseudo-arty types who have no talent and loads of money selling useless crap. Doesn't leave much......
• The fact that everywhere looks kind of the same - same colour and style building - and is equally small, I know they have to be in keeping with old buildings already there ... but it's disorientating!
• You can't buy a house for under £100,000 and I can barely afford to rent a scummy top floor flat - in the next villages you can rent a house for the same money
• People who move to Bath become unbelievably stuck-up and start talking up at the end of there sentences. I lost my Brother to Bath.
• BIG ISSUE SELLERS AND BEGGARS/JUNKIES....THIS IS WARNING.....DO NOT COME TO BATH AS IT IS VERY TOLERANT OF THIS PARTICULAR FORM OF VERMIN.....and yes there are AIDs ridden hypodermics needles strewn about by this scum deliberately to infect children..... I LIVE IN BATH AND IF SHOPPING IN THE TOWN CENTRE (Which isn't that big) YOU WILL BE ACCOSTED BY ON AVERAGE 6 OF THESE LOWLIFE ON YOUR ENTRY AND EXIT JOURNEYS....THEY HOVER NEAR THE ENTRANCES OF SUPERMARKETS AND CASH MACHINES AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO BAG SNATCH PEOPLE AT SUCH PLACES....... MOST OF THESE BEGGARS OF COURSE ARE *NOT* HOMELESS IN REALITY AT ALL (you rarely see them at night) NOR WITHOUT HANDSOME DLA/DISABILITY AND OTHER GENEROUS SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS PAYMENTS FOR THEIR 'DISABILITY' i.e. herion addiction.... AND A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF THEIR DAILY BEGGING/ISSUES SALES CAME IT AT A MINIMUM OF £15 PER HOUR FOR BEGGARS UNSKILLED IN THE ART OF PARTING THE GULLIBLE WITH THEIR HARD-EARNED......so imagine how much a skilled beggar can notch up! THESE PEOPLE CAN MAKE MORE THAN A FAT CAT COMPANY DIRECTOR...... THIS IS ONE THING THIS TOWN CAN GUARANTEE.....BEGGAR HARRASSMENT........... PLEASE COMPLAIN TO THE TOURIST BOARD ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU ARE HARRASSED BECAUSE OTHERWISE EVENTUALLY THE WORD WILL GET OUT THAT THIS IS A BEGGAR BLACKSPOT AND TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.
• tour buses
• The council
• The fucking french tourists ! They walk round with their backpacks, talking french ! Who the hell do they think they are ?
• The bloody tourists. THey don't go away, all year. The French ones that huddle in groups of about 90 and wear their bags the wrong way round and the American's that can't get enough of this 'quaint' little town.. leave us alone please! though do continue to spend your money freely here. The bus station is hell, im sure of it.
• NOT A LOT SWERVE PAST THE BEGGARS AND YOU ARE HOME FREE.
• The litter around Southgate, Big Issuers, Beggars
• The Rec ( or Wreck )- Bath's rugby ground is scaffold on one side and generally is full of upper class twits who no nothing about the game.
• sometimes too small a city. The cinemas
• Bath is a dull town. Contrary to a previous poster the women are NOT"well stacked" I didnt see ONE such woman in a whole day trip. Bath is declining fast there is a beggar and unemployment problem daily in the town. It will probably hold your attention for only a day or two at most.
• The huge crowds of foreign school children in the summer who dont care that some people live here and would like to actually drive down the roads they are standing on.
• Tour buses should be completely banned. French students getting under your feet. American tourists who are too lazy to walk anywhere. Strict rules for building or changing anything
• Too many tourists!!! (especially those french kids with backpacks who just walk in your way)
• rude boys??? what you talking about. sure they dont say their pleases and thankyous to be a bit rebelious but what more do they do? oh yeah they dress in all the latest street wear styles and have rich mummies and daddies who can only express their love for their deviant children by sending them on round the world trips to allow them to develop the communicativre skills they we're deprived of as children and swathe them in money, new cars, bullshit , bullshit,,,and then these average middle/upper class kids come out being all ethnic and yes giving the impression of being a little bit 'rude boy.' dont be fooled. check out Dalston for rude boy.
• Rude boys
• Bath costs a fortune to live in a dump
• Every one knows everyone!!!!
• Everyone knoes everyone:thers no escape. Traffic jams and all the hill starts.
• Badgerline who rip EVERYONE off not just you students who incidentally get cheaper fares from Uni to town than anyone else gets = £1.70 return fare!!?? and you can't get one of those till after 9 am So much for encouraging people to use public transport to ease the appalling congestion and pollution. Oh! and parking
• The annoying idiots that cruise around the bus station in their escorts with boom boxes and super size spoilers , pumping out some pathetic tunes. The saddest thing is they actually think they're cool!
• TREVS!
• the kebab an chips wrappers at 2am on a saturday night outside marmaris.
• worst thing about bath - waiting at orange grove taxi rank with 100 other people at 3am in the morning for a handful of taxis. this is the only place where you will see fighting. every nightclub is classed as being in a residential area. this means that the sound systems are pathetic and that they also have to shut at 2am. so many hills, not good if you are out of shape like me.
• Its a very small town with an inflated view of its own importance. Inertia. Georgian everything.
• We have no ten pin bowling but many bowls clubs. The business rates are over the top that is why we have shops closing all the time. The car parking rates are just pure greed. The bridge to the Warminster road from the new by-pass is missing.
• House prices.
• Don't know what that guy was talking about when he said GIRLS!!! cos I haven't seen one yet. And Everything closes at 2.
• Big Issue Sellers "give me a pound and I will buy alcohol"
• The Kevs from Twerton, the Lamb and Lion, Sam Weller's (now} French people in general not just tourists. Pigeon shit
• Expensive because of all the snobs (students included). Locals can be a bit hostile to say the least. Out of term time Badgerline bus company are screwing the students good and proper also.
• French students. Always in the way with their silly rucksacks!
• The Traffic. The streets weren't designed to take it. Worse than London.
• The tour buses going past my window.
• All the tourists who seem to believe they have a god given right to wander aimlessly down the middle of the road - I HATE them all.
• French schoolchildren constantly in sports shops looking at brightly coloured baseball caps. DON'T THEY HAVE CAPS IN FRANCE?
• Pretentious bourgeois tossers who think they're Cool.
• Avon street area is awful, so is the old dairy near the train station.
• Hideous overcrowding. Too many 'skaters' who don't actually skate and will doubtlessly stop associating themselves with the scene when its popularity declines again. Too many pseudo-zany students.
• Guides to Bath written by students who care nothing for Bath (it's not just the campus and the centre of town. Well maybe it is)
• Silver haired, Jaguar-driving, bourgeois twits that own the hills that surround Bath.
• Tour Busses and Tourists
• Open top buses and the Crystal Palace pub.
• Tourists!
