The Worst Things in Exeter, Devon*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Exeter.

• a sad man from st leonards road who falls around drunk most days! you would of thought an education at exeter school would have produced a better life... so sad
• tracey brewster aka nikki harris...child abuser, thief, drug dependent, violent..liar..all seein all knowin nasty piece of work..u cant miss her..fat, rottin teeth..sallow skin with panda eyes....trying to sue exeter social services for negligence towards her asbo kids...when she was the one who wanted to get rid of them..unfortunately her kids grown up to be like her...WASTER!!!
• The backward attitudes of the locals and their 1980s fashion sense. They hate Londoners...yet most of them haven't even visited there..no a day out at Wembley doesn't count:)..the men are weak and feeble and the women look like dogs..infact its uncanny how they all look alike..king arthur road in beacon heath are where the asbo families reside mainly
• Snobs...
• Nightlife is lame...
• Despite it's large student population Exeter is little bit backwards.
• Rip off Topsham. £3.15 for a shandy in the Passage Inn!
• Nightlife: clubs are too small, too crowded, close early, and too far apart from one another.
• Prices of property/rentals.
• i think it is sum kind of animal leftover processing plant, in marsh barton, makes that stretch of the canal sick , cos of the smell
• No casino
• Fat people waddling along the pavement and completely blocking it when trying to cycle past in the opposite direction to one-way traffic, then getting berated by said fat person.
• Boy racers, charity elastic bands, groups of asylum seeking pervs.
• People who actually bother to be prejudiced about people who wear collared shirts, or who are lucky enough to drive nicer cars. It's stupid, and those with collars aren't as prejudiced as those who judge them.
• the nightlife is shit and all the kids who would be chavs are goths due to the caverns music scene- could be seen as a good or bad thing bt personally i'd rather c a chav wearing white than a goth wearing black as its less depressing
• The townie clubs. It just ruins the whole scene, but there are really funny and the townie girlies are easy!!!
• Pollution!!!! Too many cars!!!!Smell of burning plastic or printed circuit boards, whatever!!! So close to the countryside yet its so damn difficult to avoid more cars and traffic jams.
• The townies. Not enough rehersal rooms.
• The townies who think they own the place. Exeter will always be hippy (and dread) city! cock off to tiverton..
• La Rossetta, Take Away Street, Newton Poppleford.Devon. Service without a smile, rude, hostile and unfriendly Food presented unhygienic and inedable
• the lack of decent graffiti (its getting betta tho) and the boredom. when you've been somewhere once, you've been there a thousand times...
• It's not that bad, it could be a great place to live. But speaking as a student, unless your daddy is very rich or you are able to mentally block out the majority of the student body its a nightmare. There are plenty of nice people, but the atmosphere is suffocating, the uni's performance is dissapointing, it's very costly and there is nothing to do here at all.
• the smallness, everyone knows eveyone else and if you get into bother with people it can be hard to evoid them.
• Rip off devon, to visitors.
• I'm an Exeter Uni student, and I confess, I have to agree with Exeter Uni students being the worst thing. At the start of every term, they arrive in a flotilla of Range Rovers and proceed to stagger around the town permanently pissed whilsy wearing a knitted tank-top. These guys are so rich they don't need to go to uni, and besides, they probably can't see over the top of their own upturned rugby shirt collar. Morons.
• Car parking!
• Tramps, beggars, goths.
• Students. Ninety five percent of Exeter Uni students really are tossers. I should know, I go there! Whatever you do, DONT go to Exeter university if, like me, you're a northerner and are not prepared to jump on the green welly bandwaggon and slag off your home town. I'm sure the local people (who are absolutely fine) feel exactly the same way. Other than that, Exeter is a great, chilled out city surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside I've seen.
• Some of the road surfaces esp. going up pennsylvania way
• The council...
• People who slate the place on this site who clearly don't have a clue about Exeter.
• mayor/athena
• going to uni there!
• The many young people who look lost in their clothes, whose ruddy faces and Mid Witch Cuckoo eyes tells me that they littel about the world, though they'll arrogantly tell you otherwise. The haters, who hate Londoners but try to be like them, just be yourself and celebrate what you've got without being big headed and ignorant about it.
• townie scum
• Still some idiots who think fighting is the way to end an evening. Cut their goolies off!
• the scores of young slipknot fans that hang around in a) Martian b)the alley outside the Cavern because they can't even get in there c) the Gardens, but don't worry, they have a curfew of about seven o'clock.
• The underground passages (I get Claustrophobic)
• all the boy racers (they hide sometimes but if you look close enough, they're there), Hothouse, the station cafe...
• All those naff concrete builidngs. And Exeter uni students are nearly all sloanes, watch out for the pink rugby shirts with turned up collars and brand new cars. Oh. and the hills, outside the city centre its all cliff faces.
• Marines. Rain. Lack of clublife.
• The council are crap. Thyre idea of Exeter is totally different to eveyone elses! Leave the city as it is and just renovate, dont knock the old bits down. And get into the 21st century with your licence laws for Clubs!!
• the abomination that passes for a presinct right beside the catherdral close.
• Excess of upper middle-class students who inhwerited dress code of their parents along with the money
• go to the suburbs and the city is dirty. The city council only clean the parts where the tourists hang out. tough shit to the residents of the suburbs.
• Sidwell street (apart from the bit from Duke of York to the Odeon, on the KFC side), Princesshay (should've been demolished years ago if you ask me!) & the Drunks and Drug Addicts that spoil Cathdral green with their dogs, their noise and their persistent begging.
• Being so far away from the rest of Britain!
• EXETER UNI STUDENTS are awful people. plymouth uni students aren't.
• Small Town Syndrome. Don't come expecting the high life.
• It can rain a lot! The clubs are only open till 2am at the latest. The bus drivers are miserable!!
• Too many Big Issue Sellers and other crusty-hippy types
• I have to leave and I want to be here forever!
