The Worst Things in East Dereham, Norfolk*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about East Dereham.

• Soldiers the fat ones
• Along with smelly vest man, there is also 'walking man' - beleive it or not this is a man who walks. I have never seen him do anything other than walk round, and look odd. Where does he go? What is his motivation? When does the point come for him when he changes his summer shorts for something warmer? So many questions.....
• Now a town of vandals who each week end smash windows around the town for enjoyment, where are the police ?
• DID YOU KNOW?.. That the town is not officially East Dereham at all? The bastard "East" was added by mistake many, many moons ago & should never have been there at all. It reared its ugly head when a map-maker, working from West to East, discovered the hamlet of West Dereham & decided to mis-name our lovely (?) town. It is a shame that shops, pubs & so on opened by newcomers to the town don't realise this! There is a pub in town which actually has, horror of horrors, "East Dereham" written on its sign! Also, of course, most of the road signs around the county are incorrect and despite the fact the council has agreed to put "Dereham" on any new signs, not enough have yet been changed to make a significant difference. We await developments...
• big fry has maggots
• Lots of people with no style and bad attitudes.
• cuntish chavs
• DEREHAM IS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GET FAT WITH ALL THE FAST FOOD THEN HAVE TO SHOP IN CHARITY SHOPS TO BUY NEW CLOTHES AND THEN BUY A BIGGER HOUSE TO FIT IN FROM ALL THE ESTATE AGENTS THERE!
• the diabolical smell than eminates from the chipshop all over the town center and down all the pokey sidestreets it really doesnt smell quite how chips should smell and it permeates everything, are they pumping that disgusting smell out on purpose, its revolting and someone should make them stop it, the last thing i wanna smell when im depositing a cheque in lloyds or buying some lightbulbs from woolworths is that chipshop

• coming back from norwich
• realising it is never ever going to be as good as it was
• the playgrounds that exist often have smashed glass bottles in them :(
• is all the sad desperate slags who hang around big fry wen they are all as rough as hell and need to get a life
• Nothing it was great many years ago if there is trouble its the peoples fault.
• grunges, art gallery
• Vest mans called Norman hes got it sussed who the fuck gonna employ him.
• People who still live their
• to many card shops
• shops, boys, food, the not english people! i think we are being taken over, by the kebab people
• going back there
• Just about everyone who lives in Dereham is a towny, janner, trevor fucksuck cunt. There are a few exceptions, such as the people who actually went to school then on to uni who may be successful in life. There a load of piss poor squadies who think they're all that wearing white reebok trainers and fila jumpers. They need to realise they are in the army because they are thick and their parents didn't love them, why would anyone else want them?
• The worst thing about Dereham is not its distinct lack of style or carisma- but the fact that none of the residents seem to actually leave the one horse town- i mean don't get me wrong i was once a resident there and have a good time but having left for pastures greener i am always so shocked when i return to see the same old faces in the same old pubs talking about the same old stuff- i mean ok so there is a yearly move from pub to pub in mass but has anyone ever thought about leaving- and moving straight to norwich doesnt count. Does anyone actually realise how petty and predictable life is there??? and then of course there is that sad exscuse of a market- what is that about.... But without a shadow of doubt the worst place to go is the "downstairs"- once an ok place about 8 years ago i am stunned to hear that people still flock there... opps they have to cos its the only place to go for a late night drink.. people do your self a faviour boycott the place demand better- if you can get past the council that is. Dereham's slogan should say " we dont like change and we know what we like, and we like what we know"
• blokes - why are you all rough, arrogant, or thick? educational institutions people - full of NFN (normal for Norfolk) + inbred families - nearby villages usually dominated by one huge family lack of tolerance for anything different - intelligence, outsiders as relatives and 'talking posh' are all no-nos the accent 'outsiders' attempting to mimic the accent - you have to live it to be able to do it lack of transport to villages squaddies all over the place drugs problem only one young goodlooking policeman Dereham teenagers are a bunch of assholes - if you want your kid to grow up as a well rounded individual don't bring them here Saying that Dereham is the armpit of the Universe is an understatement - someone please drop a bomb on it and put everyone out of their misery
• The person who thought it was a good idea to not have any male clothes shops!
• WH BROWN..........the real estate agents.........they couldnt run a hot dog stand let alone a real estate agency. I know as I had some dealings with them.
• Dereham, a cemetery with lights.
• People who slag the town off all the time!
• All the people moving in pushing up the house prices & taking the jobs, another 1000 houses being built, who can afford them, not the locals.
• Somebody please build a McDonalds!
• Dereham is my hometown and I moved to the States 20 years ago and believe it or not, I miss good old East Dereham. I can't wait to come back to live and sit with my Uncle who wears that vest and who has the best natural tan without using a machine. He at least has the guts to do what he wants without caring what everybody else thinks. So to you who writes about him, GET A LIFE and worry about yourself!
• THE OTHER PEOPLE
• My God when I remember this horrid, butane cheap deal town, I get the fear. Pure Horror runs down my spine when I remember what I left behind one winters morning. I guess the real sadness, is that people are still there, coping, surviving, slithering along the edge of a dull, numb pain - that is existence in East Dereham for any body below the age of full mental and physical development/ responsibly. Of course those of an age beyond, have only them selves to blame, they are for now and ever excluded from human evolution.
• If you don't like the quiet rural life, or have no transport, or have never left the place, it must be hell on earth!
• The flasher down the snicket on the Scarning estate.
• USA Chicken, Downstairs, Bakers Oven, Super Chef chip shop (grumpy bastard!)
• It is *quiet* - if you want the latest in nightlife, forget Dereham and as a whole, forget Norfolk. Mind you, some of us like it quiet! You pays your money and takes your choice!
• dirty people. people from the neathered.
• the inbreds who moan about the soldiers. they should remember we got posted here, we wouldnt live in a dump like dereham by choice. dereham is full of jealous inbreds who cant stand the fact that us soldiers earn good money, dress better, look better and have decent cars. Give up, you'll never beat the British Army!!
• The one-way system, you kinda get swept along, like a little fish in a river.
• the girls...its about time some foxy chicks moved in.
• The one-way system
• Dull Insular Imbread
• Dereham is a hole, drive thru it at ur own risk.
• Squaddies causing riots in the town centre, and kids dressed as fairies trying to pull a 300 foot Christmas tree out of their arse as they run away from the police.
• That man with the vest (yes you know who i'm talking about) buy him some deodrent please and tell him it is winter and you don't wear a vest in winter . Also the alcholic that sits on the bench outside the momorial, not the mayor, but the 70 year bloke who wears the same clothes everyday and also smells
• Lack of places to go at night, lots of younger people hanging around trying to look cool, the vast amount of pensioners that come out of the woodwork on a tuesday, and the town mayor.
