The Worst Things in Dunfermline, Fife*
The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it
You can tell us more about Dunfermline.
The Worst Things
- Dunfermliners. Infact, Fifers in general. Every one of them born n bred with a hard-man chip on the shoulder attiutude, and thinking the world owes them a living. A blanket refusal to take responsibility for their own mistakes and failings, whislt being prepared to blame anyone else in a heartbeat. A meaner, nastier, more insular, more bigoted, more small-minded bunch you couldn't hope to meet. Avoid at all costs.
- The Town Centre Shopping precinct, like walking through a giant sewer filled with verbal bile, fag ash and the disproportionate numbers of terminally unemployable.
- wee neds!!!
- Dunfermline Press - a poor excuse for a paper.
- the number 19 bus it stinks of B O and young people with push chairs LOL
- Neds, chavs, boy, racers, drunks, idiots, nasty aggressive man-women swearing and screaming constantly. Being staunchly individualist is a social handicap here. Having any sort of class or culture is a social handicap, so if you're used to living in a great city like London or Edinburgh, do not move here.
- The bus station and surrounding area (the homeless hostel). McDonald's. The dirty High Street and multitude of charity shops and empty boarded-up shop units.
- The Dunfermline Press - poor excuse for journalism. All crime/court stories and "Tot Idol" comps. Give us some investigative journalism into how the finances of the council have been mismanaged and how taxi drivers with convisctions can get licenses. Also, poor public transport. Bring back the Yellow Taxibus.
- the banter
- Dunfermline Athletic not for long tho, cos they're goin down
- the grey old black tinky bus station
- The neverending supply of Neds in burbary caps. Watch McDonalds on a Saturday you are likely to be mugged and robbed of your burger and chips!!
- The shopping centre is a disaster, nothing but card and trainer shops. The bus station is to be avoided especially at 9:30am when the OAPs bu
- ned. you pure ken what i'm saying and that. aye mon.
- the Ballroom and the people who go there!
- groups of 13 year old neds pissed as a fart starting on you as you walk through the park on a satuarday night
- Need a proper wine bar, chilled wine by the glass using the view not just passers by with the shopping.
- The other people
- The locals; many will tell you of their pride of being born and brought in Dunfermline, whilst dropping their litter at their feet and complaining about thge state of the place. This is now unfortunately NOT the minority.
The inability to walk in the town without being subjected to foul language, often from parents swearing at their children.
Dunfermline would have itself seen as a modern cosmopolitan city, but is in fact a very small village spread over a large area. Small village attitudes prevail. Really sad.
- Vandalised areas - such as part of the new park down the glen, wee shits that hang about the parks during the day drinking buckie, stabbings and people getting beat up for no reason need I go on?
- Cruise? Upmarket? Up it's own a*** more like. Only footballers shop in Cruise.
- Neds, dozens of them
- The town is over populated with crazed goths & moshers who have this love for chains, black hoodies to hide what they really look like, black steel toe capped boots to give everyone a kick in with & also a tendency to try & capture the peacocks down the Glen...
- Too many people from Edinburgh. No, office my regent neighbours, but some of the old courteous ways are diluting.
- Dunfermliners. Scummy, twisted, tight, mean, hard, ignorant buggers. For teh most part.
- The local labour council who forget West Fife exists except to subsidise Kirkcaldy!
- lack of decent shops
over populated by neds/schemies whatever the hell u want to call them! the scary ass people who drink outside of macdonalds and will do anything for a fight scary stuff walking about dunfermline early saturday morning
- The road in...........
- Everythinh
- Inspirations in Maygate.............. pure trash amateurs at everything.
- Serious lack of shops.
- The shops could be better, a little less charity shops (no offence!) and a little more up market clothes shops for men, eg "Cruise".
- THE OLD NOSEY VALUES
- The whole place is such a narrow minded, singulary idealed,tunnel visioned, closed minded hell hole!, I hope when they find a good day to drop the bomb it's on Dunfermline!
- Queen Anne School. But at least I can spell
- The Ballroom. Filled with idiots and lasses who like pregnancy. Nuff said.
- Fifer's habitual depression
- The teeny boppers up town EVERY Saturday without fail!...all being cool!!!
- mad taxi drivers and nae jobs
- how the people of dunfermline dont apreciate the wonderful town they have
- The Townies - Toon Army - Wee lassies wearing far too much makeup and their 25 year old boyfriends.
- The residents attitude, narrow minded small town mentality.
- Too close to Kirkaldy. Rains a lot too.
- Too many kids hanging around
- A part of the town called Abbeyview. Run down and needing knocked down. Lack of a decent shopping centre since the last one burn't dowm.
