The Worst Things in Chesham, Buckinghamshire*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Chesham.

The Worst Things
  • Pond Park estate does have some good people but very dodgy overall. Rough rough rough!
  • Why is a town just outside London well within the commuter suburbs yet surrounding by beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside such a VILE DUMP? I think it's the people but honestly why do so many immigrants and chavs get dumped somewhere that could of been nice? One of the definete holes of Bucks but not yet in Wycombe or Sloughs league thanckfully.
  • WAY IN COUNCELLING AGENCY SILLS YARD, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO TO WORK THERE TO DO A VOLUNTARY JOB, I WORKED THERE FOR 2 YEARS VOLUNTARILY AND THEN ONE DAY THE MANAGER CALLED ME INTO THE OFFICE SAID SHE DIDNT WANT ME ANY MORE WITH NO NOTICE AT ALL ONLY 20 MINUTES AND SHE TOLD ME NEVER TO GO BACK, AND I DID A VERY GOOD JOB, SO REMEMBER THAT IF ANY ONE IS READING THIS AND IS THINKING OF DOING VOLUNTARY WORK IN CHESHAM, NEVER GO TO WAY IN.
  • there is nothing amazingly bad about chesham it could just be improved in a few ways but to be honest i have grown up in chesham and honestly cant wait to get out of this place
  • the person who quoted sayin "I suspect the people who complain of nothing to do are the same sad people who spend most of their evenings getting drunk in the pub or breeding because they lack the imagination to do anything else. Which is why Chesham has more that it's fair share of young single mothers and brainless drunks." the drunks aint got nuffin better to do than take the piss outta disabled ppl which is sad, you know who you are, if your reading this you ought to b ashamed of yourself, i doubt they would b reading this cos they allways spend there days in the pub, GET A LIFE, BRAINDEAD MORONS!!
  • everything in chesham is bad, filled with pissheads, junkies, weirdos, ignorant ppl, slappers, single mums. best thing the authorities can do with chesham is demolish the whole place
  • not alot to do going out wise, best to jump on the tube, spend a bit more and find something you'll actually enjoy. it can get quite aggressive in the centre on the weekend (like everywhere else!) but it's never good, not a lot for teenagers to do so a bit dull.
  • After dark the streets are a bit intimidating.
  • all the scum that run around the place thinking their GANGSTA and all the stupid ugly little girls dressed in mini skirts all year round trying to get a shag from the asians, you just gotta laugh!
  • The streets are dirty, and all this dog shit.
  • small town petty-mindedness, u get the flack as the weirdest local weirdo, kids thinking their smart and assuming that just because your a a goth (NOT A GOTHIC THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 'A GOTHIC') you are thick
  • The Waterside massive has some of the hardest people in chesham in there little gang. most of ther the people hang in town but there is a few people that stay around the area. they dnt cause much trouble but when they do there is a serious police presants.
  • The worst thing about Chesham is that if you wear the tiniest bit of black or do something different with your hair you get abuse of the kids, they shout/spit and try to start fights with you. And also if you stay out after 9pm you WILL get beaten up by the stupid drunken teenagers.
  • all the chavs that hang round the town and stare at you like YOUR wierd
  • PKIS RULE CHESHAM
  • bangalachesh
  • The local politicians and the national ones too; especially the national one(s). Crawling out of the woodwork, or from underneath a damp stone to scaremonger (see the latest scares about Chesham Underground shutting down) the local residents into voting for them. Where were they when Chesham Station needed defending BEFORE the election?! Honetly.
  • The "local" newspaper, that never has any local news, and when it does its wrong.
  • townies looking at u funny cos ur not pushing a pram, wearing a tracksuit, talking in improper english dialect and not covered in multiple piercings. get rid of em or get them 2 change their attitudes.
  • kevs townies chavs shazzaz etc etc chesham has em all!
  • Look, everyone knows Chesham is a picturesque historic market town nestling in the heart of the Chilterns. But unfortunately there just isn't enough space here (think encyclopaedia length) to list all that is truly crap about this hole.
  • There is a dominant ellement in this town who don't like people who aren't from Chesham. They are also very two faced, so don't be fooled by any crocodile smiles. Unless you are one of their little club (who all stem from a genepool the size of an ants piss puddle) they are just waiting for an excuse to give you a kicking.
  • The people. I've been all over this country and I have never come across a nastier little inbred crap hole as Chesham. Build a big wall round the place a.s.a.p. They'ld like that.
  • It's a dump, the locals are not the average Bucks person. The surrounding towns are much richer and either look down on or are scared of us!

  • Having to drive through what can only be described as the most hideous place on the planet, ive travelled through iraq and found being showered by a rain of bombs a more pleasant experience
  • Strange general atmosphere in Chesham. Drunks and gypos.
  • If you don't have twelve toes or a tail you stick out like a saw thumb!
  • Martins newsagents - horrible shop, frightening staff Blokes out in shirt n trousers n attitude uniform on a Saturday night
  • It's where the Conservative Party goes for its 'brainstorming away days'. Aaargh!
  • kevs-def i agree there
  • You wouldn't think this if you were driving through it, but Chesham is a horrendous place. It is a hovel in the middle of Bucks
  • The small minded people and the Racism.
  • Unpleasant neighbours
  • I suspect the people who complain of nothing to do are the same sad people who spend most of their evenings getting drunk in the pub or breeding because they lack the imagination to do anything else. Which is why Chesham has more that it's fair share of young single mothers and brainless drunks.
  • The taller Orange telecommunications column planned for existing site at Whitethorns Farm,Ashley Green Road you have 14 days to object.Planning reference 2002/399/CH. This could be 20 metres high instead of the existing 15 metres
  • Some of the young locals in Chesham are a bit rough and need to be kept under control
  • AMMOUNT OF YOUNG MUMS AND EVERYONE RELATED TO EACH OTHER
  • Lots and lots of young single mums (ooh must have a baby to get a house!!)
  • Chessham is like a much smaller (and not so bad) version of High Wycombe. That being because High Wycombe is 1)Really hilly - Chesham is quite hilly, 2) High Wycombe is very multi racial - Chesham is quite multi racial (this is not a bad thing apart from the petty racism, 3) High Wycombe is frequented by hoards of slags, kevs, shazzas, townies (who kick the shit out of ya for no apparent reason), goths, freaks, tramps, pikeys etc. - Chesham is even getting more and more of these sad types of people, 4) High Wycombe has high crime rates and is the roughest town for miles - 5) Chesham may get like this if some of the wonderful locals dont get their act together. Save our town b4 its too late. Having 1 High Wycombes bad enough, but seeing another beginning to appear would be hell on earth. SAVE US!!!!!!!!
  • Bored teenagers
  • Chesham
  • The state schools
  • Everything!
  • The townies, the hills.
  • I wish the people who live in Chesham would prononce its name properly. The first part of the word Ches is the same as the river which is CHESS and that is followed by HAM . So it prononced CHESSHAM but sprlt CHESHAM. By the way the River Chess was named after the town and nit vias versa,,
  • There is a big 'Kev' population. This is the name given to the egotisticle, self adoring, drum and bass listening, puffa jacket wearing scum who are likely to beat you up for simply being different (unless you ask them for pot that is).
  • The worst thing about Chesham is that there's nothing to do and it's really boring.
  • An empty hole in the map - a depressing, sad little town where time stands still.
  • Being gay, Jewish or an "outsider".
  • The ticket-collector at the train station is ALWAYS there to collect the tickets, no matter what time it is. There are too many breeders in Chesham.
  • It's quite hilly
  • Saisbury will have by feb99 installed a new supermarket in the Town centre which dwafts the place just to spite Tesco`s in nearby Amersham. They were so desperate to do this that they built a new tacky Town Hall and a new Theatre which dos`nt seem so tacky, all for car parking space! It`s rumered that the place will be renamed Sainsburyburgh.
  • People who say "There is nothing to do, Its a boring town". If they feel that way the town and its people would be better off without them.
