The Worst Things in Cardigan, Ceredigion*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Cardigan.

• Cardigan is dog shit city!! Keep your eyes on the pavement and get ready to hop, watch out for those mini sized plops which can sometimes catch you out as well. Mind you, there is a litter tray for dogs nearby, it's called Poppit Sands, the dunes area with its maze of paths is good if you want to practise avoiding dog shit.
• Rude yobs who work for Matthew Greenland.
• All the housing people being moved to the area. Thanks for the new crack house in town bloody government
• Formula One milkman in his red pickup.
• The many Dickensian business and property owners in Cardigan and the surrounding area who delight in exploiting the unemployed and low paid and, sometimes, not so low paid. They are a law unto themselves and get all their education from The Sun and the Daily Mail!
• Fforest and Howies, hypocrites and Apple fan boys of the highest order, anti-capitalist...I don't think so!! They are both exclusive NOT inclusive. Their staff and clientele are typically affluent middle class who have an overblown sense of their own self importance.
• The car parking charges which are going up again!!!!
• Cardigan is full of lazy drivers who drive their cars, vans and even lorries onto the pavement and reach out of their window to post a letter oblivious to people on the pavement who then have to walk in the road, latest culprits spotted include local councillors and Matthew Greenland vans.
• Fforest, a place for the townies (with money) to pretend they're country folk and be amazed by things which us yokels see and appreciate everyday because we live and work in harmony with it not make our money in our steel and glass fronted offices and coffee bars and then patronise the countryside just like the North American townies did in the 50s right up to the present day. Rural tourism does very little for the down to earth working people but certainly fills up the pockets of the others, no wonder those who can are moving away to untouched, real rural areas. Fforest also has 200 acres of land tied up to tourism (with no doubt a few acres allocated to a bit of organic fruit and veg to placate the visitors) and you can bet that most of Fforest's clientèle moan condescendingly about foot shortages and overpopulation whilst not wondering why the 200 acres they're residing isn't used for agriculture!!
• The nearby St Dogmaels Coach House Project was supposed to address the needs of a large deprived community and its purpose was to “maintain, repair, preserve and improve for the public benefit the village of Llandudoch (St. Dogmaels) and its surroundings”. What it has really turned out to be is a place to pander to the better off arty fartys, the great and the good and business types. It has certainly done nothing for the deprived of St Dogs i.e. those on low incomes. If you don't believe me check out the prices in the cafe!!
• Bloody rude tourists who bring their fear and mistrust of strangers here instead of chilling out. When you say hello to them, the women usually smile but the blokes look stubbornly ahead pretending you don't exist! When you offer to help them they run away flapping their hands about, giving you a scowl and mumbling "No!". We're only trying to be friendly. When they go home they moan about how things have changed and how nobody is friendly anymore!! Sheesh!!
• To the visitor Cardigan doesn't have a library because it's tucked away in a dark molehill. Tourists always ask "Is there a library in Cardigan" and you end up taking them there. When you get there the lights have to be on all day because the place is too dark without them, very environmental! Why isn't the library in clear view on the High Street where everyone can see and get to it? Is Cardigan the only town in the UK with a dark, hidden library?
• The gentrifying of Cardigan with the arrogant middle class smugs who are moving into the area, setting up their businesses (who do nothing to benefit the local low paid workers, they only employ their own kind) and charging extortionate prices e.g. fforest charging £400 to £700 per week to stay in a glorified tent, I mean who can afford that? Oh yes the middle class smugs!! They keep the prices high to keep out the likes of you and me!! Not that we'd be stupid enough to part with our cash when we can go camping in the real world on much less. These people are so out of touch, it's just like the eighties all over again but I suppose these are Thatcher's children so what can you expect!!
• Cardigan town councillors helping themselves and their buddies to the contents of the revamped Guildhall and what is the stupid wooden fence arrangement around what used to be the fish pond?
• The Post Office in Cardigan High Street, most of the staff are miserable gits and if you feel good when you walk in, you certainly won't by the time you've left. It's up for sale now (May 2009), let's hope the new owner brings a friendlier feel to the place!
• The fact a guy gets pulled for an eighth when the police park outside gabs where people deal pills to kids, young and old. The tax goes up for police presence and they are all on the fucking take. Well not all of em but someone fucking is. Poor Form
• Even chavettes can get teaching certificates in Cardigan, they've usually got builder husbands/partners and are extremely paranoid!
• EVEN IF YOUR A GOOD PERSON THE LOCALS WILL INSIST ON MAKING THINGS UP ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THERE REALLY CRUEL IN THAT SENCE. THE GIRLS ARE VERY NASTY, SLY, DEVIOUS, TWO FACED, BACKSTABBING ETC.
• boy racers stopping you in the car asking for ur number whilst stinking of weed and curry
• the people, well most of them
• cardigan its self
• thick local petty criminals
• Knob-eds who thing they are hard
• School, all the drunks and stoners and trash in this town
• Gees, there is so much to choose from, but i guess that the menfolk of Cardigan are a good place to start. What a bunch of wankers! I dont know why they don't just start up a self appreciation society. I cant think of anything that they would enjoy more, than sitting around telling each other how amazing they are!To be fare not all of them are bad, but the ones that were bearable have all had the sense to leave Cardigan. So any ladies visiting Cardigan hoping for a bit of romance, or even a quick shag, i feel that i have to warn you that unless you want some nasty disease, its best to just stick to a kebab at the end of the night, its still greasy and filling, but wont make you itch in the morning!
• being to old to get away with it anymore!!!
• the library which is run by freaks (the guy with fuzzy hair is an absolute moron with a liking for gay porn on his library pc's) cardigan arms whom recycle the uneaten food and there service is okay if you speak welsh and female(man haters!!!)

• The thieving councillors who overcharge on the council tax for the police etc. What police??

• Lack of smiling faces as you walk down the street, does no one over 35 smile in the town. I actually conducted a survey whilst working in a shop in the high street, and only 1 in 45 people passing, smiled!!

• Shitty little fuck-wits who spend thier time slagging off people on these things for no purpose other than they are bored shitless, have no life and will inevitably be stuck here for the rest of their lives, making up shit about paintings people supposedly have in their personal collections is not funny- Imean get fucking real, if Robin Holyom had originals by Warhol and Hockney would he really be living in Cardigan? Don't fucking think so.
• nothing to do too many twats and no birds
• The Hambones and the medieval attitude.
• Too many Chiefs and Freemasons not enough Indians
• Usual vices of any tightly knit community: lots of social pressure, little privacy, conservatism. Same wherever you go.
