The Worst Things in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about High Wycombe.

• Anyone who thinks Castlefield is bad... its just about to get worse as theyre opening Buck's first centre for ex convicts to live somewhere up there. oh dear
• South west Wycombe, castle hill, castlefields, call it what you want, u WONT GET OUT ALIVE! I was pacing up dashwood avenue when I was confronted by 4 asian hoodies, all wearing bandanas around 17 years of age. Within a blink of an eye I was on the ground after suffering a blow and after a good old hiding all I could see was a haze of dusty council houses and tatty fencing. The local fruit store owner from Copyground Lane, Manjula, came to my aiiiid. After this experience I now refuse to set foot anywhere west of the new shopping centre for safety reasons. The crusty glazes of desborough enchanted me with a lifetime of horror and ANGST. I think i'll stick to my middle class ENCLAVE of Amersham Hill. Manjula was saviour to me. She gave me fruit and Sweet potatoe :)
• the chavs
• firstly its not just the ASIANS that cause all the problems if you want PEACE maybe we should all try to co operate and not just blame it on the ASIAN community. Everyone from all different communities can be racist not just one community making it bad. and if you wanna go down town den go dont be intimidated cuz of da asians dey aint gna do nufin maybe ur da 1z makin it worse by actin like u dnt wna no thm n thnk dere gna beat u up if dey c u. maybe thats just makin thm angry and thats y dey dnt wna co operate.
• My house in Wycombe got robbed today. Whole house gutted. Police say there are 3 robberies a night in Wycombe. No lies.
• The violence and crime is worse than everywhere I've EVER lived - that includes Stoke on Trent (for the first 19 years of my life!) and Finsbury Park (bad rep, but I love living there :D). I've been burgled whilst home alone in the middle of the day (chased the two cowards out though, hehe) - have had a female friend punched in the face by a bloke, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time...some mates were assaulted by a gang, another mate received a scar to his face (again,in the wrong place@wrong time)another got beaten up outside McDonalds... Also - there was a drugs raid up my street, and the whole road was cordoned off, a barmaid down my mate's road got shot 9 times at work (survived though!)...and walking my mate home from work, we saw a team of forensics officers in an alleyway - turns out there was a man found in a car boot with an axe in his head! Oooh, and there was a car that got burned out right in the middle of the town centre!!! The list goes on...... and these all happened during my 3 years at uni there! Don't get me wrong - I personally had no trouble there myself, and it wasnt all bad - but lets just say I have no plans to ever go back there again! Plus, it's soooooo dull - there's only one nightclub (which is shit) and it's very hard to reach other major towns to go out in (unless youknow people you can stay with if you want to go out in London - which is 40 mins away by train). Don't bother trying the surrounding small towns either -they're incredibly snobby and expensive (Henley and Marlow, need I say more?) One thing I will sy in its defence - it has some beautiful scenery (some of the best countryside in britain)...the Dashwood Mausoleum and the rye are beautiful.
• The scrots that sit around gettin pissed everywhere
• The town has way more than its fair share of terrorists.
• Not much to do during the day.
• On a rainy day it looks like Halifax. That isn't too great. There aren't really any nice bits to Wycombe, it's basically one conjoined, fairly ugly estate.
• The parking attendants...the drunks........the new shopping centre........
• All the violent happenings in the news lately about Wycombe. Does anybody else think it a little strange that all of the perpetrators seem to be our little Asian guests? Why not round em up and send em home. They truelly are ruining the place.
• 2 Things: i) The crime - I've never lived anywhere like it in my life. I am a student here and since moving into Wycombe I have had a dead body dumped in a car outside my house, witnessed the aftermath of a double, axe related murder, (again near my house - in broad daylight I add), read of multiple shootings/stabbings/whatever else turns you on, I again narrowly missed a drive-by with a machine pistol (just a few minutes too late gosh darn it), there have been cars set fire to outside my house, my housemates got burgled (I had thankfully moved out the previous month), I have been mugged (again in broad daylight), followed (thankfully I bumped into a friend), I have been held prisoner at a friend's house by a very angry, drug fuelled ex-con who we sent back to jail (he must love us), I have seen female friends beaten into a bloody heap by gangs on a whim, a friend had to stop another gang from raping some defensless girl... the list goes on. Having experienced much of this first hand, I stress that it is not exaggerated story telling when a friend tells you horror stories - It is ALL likely to be TRUE!! ii) The racial hatred. Everyone hates everyone. Considering how broad the ethnic range is locally I'm appalled. I have never seen a place that is so unifed in it's hatred of everyone. It seems like the majority of Wycombe's population is filled with racists, biggots and all-round nasty, narrowminded people. There is a huge tension that seems to be instilled from birth. I have seen it worst in locals that have grown up here (from both the white and asian populations predominantly), though it does sadly seem to rub off on newcomers. It truly is sad to see but I stronlgy receommend if you are considering moving here and staring a family, don't! No child should be subjected to views that insular and socially damming. (Obviously I am not suggesting that EVERY person has this attitude - It is merely an overall observation. Though I maintain that it is accurate from my viewpoint.)
• Having only just managed to get out of Wycombe (born and raised there before you start to bitch about temporary residents), I have come to realise how much I miss the gangs of kevs roaming the streets with nothing better to do than knife you (or if you’re lucky just mug you), the racial tension, the fact that if you took out the bad areas of the town you would be left with an area the size of a football pitch, the incredibly high price of alcohol, being in a pub at 10pm and seeing toddlers running through the cigarette smoke and of course the bent and/or useless coppers. To summarise, in Wycombe everybody hates everybody else and if you don’t want to be mugged/stabbed/shot/raped/run over/etc don’t visit. But even so I miss the place.
• It really is a rough old dump all kinds of S**t happens here... it's like a run down inner city has been dumped in the middle on Bucks!
• No-one supports anyone else.
• The fact that there are NO decient pubs for the person who does not want to passive smoke or hang around with todays youth!!! Town centre needs a re-vamp desperetly. For a communting town, High Wycombe is disapointing.
• It exists. Yes it honestly is that bad, if people are reading this and thinking about moving here, please dont, save your soul. The uni's useless as well !
• Crime
• Druggies and phone nicers
• DA STUPID BITCHEZ HU WANT BEEF JUS CZ WE PRETTIER DN U WOS DA POINT GET A LYF U SAD DIRTY SLAGZ

• it too pakified
• it might happen to us
• the rivalery between places/schools, i talking bout wycombe high vs. beccy high and totteridge vs. ...well every1 really
• Everything...
• Being here away from it!!!
• Born and raised in Wycombe and can hand on my heart say it's the biggest shithole going, just drive on through. Full of crack dealers, skag heads, yardie thieves, minging blokes and women who, once they've finished shagging the desperate single blokes will try humping the leg of your boyfriend. Or you. I'm 22 and grew up in a rough area, although it was nice compared to Micklefield and Castlefield, so I grew up with all the twats, most of the girls I went to school with are either living in a council acquired house with their kids or on drugs. The blokes I grew up with have been in and out of prison, are again addicted to drugs, or are supplying them. Probably the only reason I haven't been mugged in the bus station is because I could give the name, address and history of the attacker! Not a good thing to boast about... Honestly though, this place is going to the dogs and no one seems to be doing anything about it. My Mum's terminally ill so I'm sticking around for her, but as soon as I can I'm getting out of this hell hole, and before I die I'll be coming back to put a bomb under it.
• 10 out of 10 things everything na jus the stupid ppl who think theyre IT
• Crack on Tap.People overdosing in the street.General things that people have come acustomed too.KFC serving regular chips in medium cardboard "packets".
• well...i cant b racist.....so ill leave dis blank....but na..itts aight if u stay wit ur boyz enit dnt b walkin thru sum dark alley at nite , ur askin 2 get jacked enit
• Kevs, Public Toilets, McDonalds, Kevs, Bus Station
• Gerrards X
• Wycombe night life, with all the underage drinkers trying to get into any bar they can, people everywhere trying to start fights, or steal your car, or steal your belongings...dont go into Wycombe at night, its not like you're missing anything.
• Call this person shes a cow and she as been pissin me off big time 07963679845
• I've been working in Wycombe for nearly 3 years (only because the money is good), the town is a disgrace, people say its a rough, scary place? I beg to differ its full of insignificant low lives who think they actually have something going for them? just about everyone who works in a skilled job comes from outside Wycombe.. now that says alot!
• The scummy town centre
• Its a dump...but we like it...
• All the smelly muslims, send em over to Iraq and throw in an A-bomb. Most people think it but don't say it.
• The bar prices
• The drunks,& crack 'eads,!! and the traffic wardens :-{
• Idiots who come down from £million houses in holtspur and beaconsfield and try to run with people living in the real world (castlefield). I mean really what would mummy say. And I agree with people on race relations this town needs serious input or it's gonna end up on another t.v. programme. Oh yeah and the endless amount of drug dealers.
• Too many questionnaire people waiting to grab you in the street.
• actually being there you dont know how baD IT IS UNTIL YOU ARIVE IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON COMMING REMEMBER DONT BRING YOU PHONE IT WILL ONLY GET NICKED AND IF ANYONE OFFERS YOU DRUGS WICH iM SURE THEY WILL JUST SAY NO
• High Wycombe is a place to avoid. I issue a warning to anybody who doesn't take my advice. The town has a high crime rate, comparable to big cities, brought down to national average on statistics because they include the population of the many crime free surrounding towns and villages. I was in my house in the morning, when i heard gun shots. A man had shot his own brother... a stupid feud, and thats how he reacted. I no people in Wycombe who will rob anybody in broad day light using any weapon, just to get a 1 hour high off some smack. I know women who would go in the public toilets on Desborough road with any bloke, just for the amount of money to fund their drug habit. If there is a lab top or anything else electrical you need, then local children will help you out. I have been offered a lab top, obviously stolen, by some young teenagers. I turned down, but I was pretty ceertain that the next person they asked would not turn down the low price which they were charging. I have seen people robbed in the bus station and Bridge Street car park at knife point. Pointless violence. The local council try to pretend there isn't a problem, when there clearly is, and the police cannot seem to solve the crime either. Maybe if they got their act together something could atleast be attempted. For criminal activity and drug addicts, tart with: Green St, Upper Green St, Jubilee Rd, Kitchener Rd, Desborough Rd, the drugs cafe in desborough Rd (I won't mention the real name of this palce), Desborough Ave, West End Rd, Dashwood Ave, Lindsay Ave (basically all of Desborough), and pretty much all the backstreets in the town centre. Other places are Rutland Ave, Grenfell Ave, Spearing Rd, Cross Rd, Rowliffe Rd, and pretty much every other street in Castlefield. The same goes for Micklefield, Bowerdean, Holmers Farm and parts of the Hughenden/Tinkers Wood and Totteridge areas. This is the real joke: There's hardly a street in this place where all this S**t aint going on right in your face! As for me, I'm out of here. All the decent folk in Wycombe end up going insane or moving out. I've seen good people turn in to drug addicts from living in this place. Gang fights happening all the time, usually racially motivated..... the place is a ticking time bomb! Where does it go from here?????
• Kevs and Frogmoor
• Kevs and Frogmoor
• WYCOMBE SUCKS AND I LIVE HERE!!!
• Everybody knows ur business. You`ll often here people saying: obviously, it`s wycombe! Meaning: y shouldn`t they know my business, i live in wycombe, they`ll know sooner or later.
• Wycombe is such a crap place to hang out. Like so many people have already said, its full to the brim with kevs, goths, slags and wanabes of the above. Then theres the other extreme - all the knobs that get beaten up and mugged day in day out, most of which attend the RGS. Half the lads at that school couldnt stand up for themselves in a food fight. And why do so many people hang out in wycombe? People go there to try and get served when they look younger than 11!? I always got served at my local offy with a scan of my passport with the DOB changed (be sure to only change the year so you can remember your bday in case you get asked!, and also make sure you change the encoded info with the date in it at the bottom (has caught people out in the past)). Then just go to a mates house whos parents done give a shit, usually people with an older brother, in which case you could probably get them to buy it for you anyway. And another thing, when your trying to type quick dont use all these gay abbreviations like l8az, sk8az, etc. It makes you look 12 and your trying to get served in a pub? No chance. And if you have to sit in the graveyard wondering why the world has forsaken you, do something about it. Go and get a job (no, not stacking shelves like all the dumb arses do without even looking around for something half decent). Try small stores which will usually pay more, have better hours, give you more respect and be more flexible. Painting you nails black, ripping up your clothes and sewing / gluing badges on everything is so damn common. Just skate, smoke dope and be happy that your better than all the scum around you. End.
• The students union!! Students know what i mean!
• Trouble makers, normally they are pussys and will crawl back where they belong if you stand your ground. Trouble between young kids, normally arguing over who is better out of Dre and Marilyn Mansun, they should be put on a sodding curfew.
• a fat hairy man called Colin
• the police :@)
• Negitive People The lit fuse about 'chip on the shoulder racism' Wycombe District Council's Planning - 'Super Maerkets'
• The list is endless, wouldn't fit.
• Too many to list
• Oh. My. God. Everything.
• Atrocious traffic. Eveyone in Wycombe owns two cars, and you must travel along the valley to get to anywhere. A40 Morning, lunchtime, evening rushhours = big traffic jam from M40 Tesco roundabout (East) to M40 Handy cross roundabout (West). Food, Cinema, DIY + Electrical retailers, ALL outside the town. Nuts.
• That you wake up and realise that you live there. That you are either dealing with foolish old people who believe they have to fit a stereotype of bumbling old cretins that struggle to use busses properly, community spirited types who are dilluded and living a lie, stupid trendy teens and even adults who carry such images of machismo yet need all of their friends behind them as they hassle one person a time for money, beating them up for the cardinal sin of refusing or "alternative" types who all look fucking identical and carry the same group mentality of if you don't look like them your a dick, which should be totally opposite in their circles, am I right you poor, mislead youths you? You could count the number of people in this "town" who are true to their beliefs as far as things as music go on one hand, ALL the rest are about fashion, well fuck off and die in a joy ride gone wrong in your shitty boy racer "i-saw-fast-and-furious-and-im-a-cool-street-racer-innit?!" cars. Die horribly and slowly every one who infests streets that could be used as good waste land. FUCK YOU ALL
• Rude people in shops... Finn McCoul's ... the fact that it whiffs a bit and there is no grass between the road and the footpath (must be an aussie thing...)
• the residents & crime.
• The travel expenses if you work in London. £67 a week!
• White people acting like they are going to get mugged when nothing like that ever happens. Asains aint muggers !!!!!!!!!
• The most beautiful woman in the world lives in High Wycombe and I'm not with her.
• Bradley Taylor (on the Policing Course at BCUC)
• OF ALL TOWNS ON KNOWHERE, HIGH WYCOMBE HAS THE LONGEST 'WORST' SECTION MORE ANYWHERE ELSE. IT IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO DIDNT HAVE THE BOTTLE TO KILL THEMSELVES END UP. THE STINKIEST BIN IN THE SOUTHEAST, PERHAPS ENGLAND.
• the readiness to criticise
• THE ENDLESS POUND SHOPS THE ETHNIC TENSION THE DUMB GOING NOWHERE FUCKWITS THAT SEEM TO BE EVERYWHERE. BUT TO BE HONEST IM VERY FOND OF THE PLACE AND ITS WHERE I CALL HOME AN ID MISS IT IF IT WERE ANY DIFFERENT. WYCOMBE NEVER CHANGE I LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE!
• THOSE HILLS THEY GREESE EM UP SO YOU CANT ESCAPE. the dirt, the twats with their questionarres that never leave you alone on that bloody high street.
• The fact it's so compact and easy to get bored of. The monolith-like hospital looks derilict but apparently is working. Dont get ill in high wycombe or you'll die. I have lived here for five months and already hate it. It's like my old town of croydon but smaller and with a higher crime rate. The university is ridiculuos - I had to hand in my coursework to a drunk lecturer in the pub! Also, don't go near the church or you'll be torn limb from limb. The only thing keeping me here is the fact I am in higher education. The bus station is full of skag addicts. Theres nowhere to eat or shop. The bus drivers are horrible. And you can't walk down the high street without being attacked by someone from greenpeace or some obscure charity. Also, there's so many hills. And strangely enough ever since i came to high wycombe my body has been slowly breaking down as a reaction to the absolout shitness of the place. High wycombes shit. High wycombes shit. High wycombes shit.
• Those daylight muggers, the charity people with their little clipboards and emotional blackmail, who chase and harrass you until you let them steal £4 of your money a month. Just leave me alone!
• where to start. the crime, the skum bags, the some how ludicrously high house prices despite the fact that ive felt less threatend when walking around holes in east london...expensive taxi men. rediculous amounts of raical tension. its a shit hole joke of a town and some areas (micklefield, inner west wycombe past blockbuster and sainsburys) are unwalkable at night unless you like getting done over. wycombe is just the pits of the earth.
• weed being overpriced man
• The way that people who make Green street busy feel they have the right to just stop their cars wherever/whenever they fancy. No politeness, Just rude gestures. The double yellow lines along that road appear to be invisible to some people.
• *Compiles list. This could take a while... Everything. In. Wycombe. Sucks.
• Have you got a few days?
• Second-rate students who can't get into a real university...with spiky hair and big noses (usually with some daft name like Roy) - steer clear of them girls, they just can't keep their dicks in their pants and will give you the dreaded "I Shagged a Slutty Hairdresser Called Jade" disease! :o)
• Again so little space, WHEN (not IF) you have been robbed, mugged, had your car stolen, etc, you are fortunate if you can even report it to the police. Pot holed roads, speed bumps mini roundabouts, bus lane and all the other congestion causing anti car measures the council loves. If you are white you will soon be in a minority. Arrogant unacountable council. The list goes on. Generally it is a dump that should be avoided (except if you come from Slough, in which case you may consider it not too bad).
• The tension between the two high street kebab vans. u choose Dennis' over the one outside the Falcon and YOU DIE. u can feel the evil stares boring into the back of your head. Avoid them both if you want to enjoy your maggot infested dead dog in a pitta with a clear conscience.
• The Desborough area is gradually turning into one BIG crimezone, ranging from shootings to escorts running their businesses from public toilets, to drug pushers litterally trying to inject you with heroin. The buildings are mostly torched or are falling down with age. Oh yeah and the fact that if you are white and walk down Green St you get stabbed.
• How dare you all say these things about Castlefield. I used to live there and it was a wonderful place. Except for when I was shot, stabbed, mugged, bottled, and injected with heroin by a gang of yardies.
• The amount of illegal immigrants dumped here (nearly as many as Slough)!
• Living 3,500 miles away and your whole family live in Wycombe. So stop all your whining. I went to Hatters Lane School in the 60's and at least they taught me how to spell properly! More than I can say for half of you. Seems to me that it is all the 'newcomers' are the one's that have spoiled Wycombe. LEAVE IT ALONE AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!!
• KEVS. STOP STEALING OUR PHONES WHAT DID WE EVA DO TO U?
• Wycombe i absolutley full of tramps picking up dog end left over in the Bus Station god only knows who's stood on them with scanky shoes. Dont go in the bus station unless you would like to be mugged. Do not go anywhere near Time as you are likely to get beaten up or injected with something.
• The traffic. A bridge should be built from the top of Amersham Hill to the top of Marlow hill get get the office riff raff out the way at 6 o'clock.
• The racial agro. Wycombes multi racial community dont get on and there is racism on all parts (white, black and asian). The national front also dont help when they come and stir up trouble. There were even asian riots in the nicest area of town, the Terriers estate. Because of this there were police heleicopters, armed police, armoured police and mounted police. There is alsways a bad atmosphere in the town and i never feel safe here.
• All of the crime. Its just getting worse and worse as are the race relations. It is such a bad place to live because of these problems and its going even further down hill (is that possible)!
• This town probably has the worst race relations in Britain.
• A bus service that is expensive, squalid and does not understand the concept of time table. Whilst companies like Arriva operate public transport services the motor manufacturers have little to fear from the 'green' lobby. The bus service in Wycombe is a great advert to hop back in your car.
• Surprise, surprise. There was another shooting in Castlefield last night (9/1/02). It seems like there is a couple evry month. I think it was yet another clash between rival asian gangs. Why dont they just demolish the whole estate and rebuild it. It was built in the 20's and 30's and even the houses which havent been burnt down are beginning to fall apart!
• It's a tough working class town, with bad areas, but you get used to it after a while, and just learn not to go round rough parts of the town. Shame really, cause people are even getting too scared to go into the town centre. Race relations are bad, as many people have said on this guide. Really, its not a vey nice place to be, but not much can be done to make it better in my opinion.
• The damp, smelly overpriced accommodation The damp, smelly UCI cinema The damp, smelly, ugly student girls The stupidly over-priced housing. The feeling that everyone here just wants to screw you for as much money as possible and wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. The total lack of character and identity. The way man can create such a blot on the landscape in a valley that was probably once very attractive.
• Wycombe, and its music selection in its clubs......not enough d n b. SORT IT OUT GEEZER.
• The worst thing about wycombe is the fact that the only way i could ever afford a house here is to either :- 1...Take up a life of crime pushing hard drugs to teanagers,mug old people steal and ring high end motor veichles and bootleg tobacco and alchohol. 2...Find myself an ignorant teenage girl get her pregnant dump her .get back with her untill the council give her a house sit pretty after ten years of built up discount buy it sell it and move somewhere cheaper. 3... Live in a caravan 4... (and my favourite option)Find a rich woman before she realises her mistake get married wait a year or two divorce her and steal half her lifes savings.
• go to wycombe and see for yourself, i dare ya!
• Living in Wycombe.
• a rather rude ethnic lady pushed someone over in woolies. the castlefields estate has a new name- LE BEAUTIFUL SLUM!
• People who whinge that its not as nice as the local richer places like marlow and henley but don't move because they can't afford it.
• the kevs that go round mugging us. and the pigeons that are taking over!!
• The young mothers wandering around town pushing several prams. The racism between the asians and the whites; and the asians and the blacks. It is gettin out of control and as there are more asians than whites and blacks so it can be very intimidating going into town for people who arent asian. Can't we all just get along? For some reason the whites and blacks do!!
• If you like london overspill towns complete with run down areas, racial tension, riots, lots of concrete in the town centre (knock the flyover down), and many deprived concrete council estates, chavs, sharrons, kevs, criminals, loads of crime, drugs everywhere, vandalised, burned down, and grafited buildings, tramps (who have taken the concept of begging a little bit further eg: chaving), and not forgetting the sad slags with crop tops etc; then this is THE place for you!
• buckinghamshire's not a bad county but wycombe destroys it.
• Wycombe is closed on a Sunday !
• Kevs, Goths, Sharons, bouncers.
• people who sit on benches!-GET UP! Oh & those twats who really think they ARE snoop dog!?
• There is no bad things about my town!!!!!!
• THE HIGH CRIME RATES AND THAT ITS A PIKEY TOWN WITH NOTHING GOING FOR IT
• Trying to get into town by car. Trying to park once you've got there. Finding the same shops as the ones in the next town once you've parked. A grammar school system that creates under-achievers with chips on their shoulders out of those who fail the 12+ exam, and snobbish characterless over achievers out of those who pass. The RGS might produce good results, but it doesn't exactly turn out well rounded characters, whereas places like Hatters Lane just turns out psychopaths who don't know there's anything better out there to aim for.
• Coming back to wycombe after a holiday. The Bus Station
• those £600 a piece ridiculous concrete balls on the high street - i'm pleased to say my little sister graphitied them shortly after they had their debut!
• those round boulder things in the high street i mean what iz the point of them, u can't sit on them coz they r 2 slippy and they don't look nice they are not good atall! And also the other bad thing about High Wycombe is that the fish stally thing reeks and stinks the place out for weeks on end.
• Boring pointless waste of space town inhabited by nutters.
• The dodgy pubs, the drunks wandering around , the odd gang of yoofs ( mainly harmless but soom loony ). Its a big place and has its really crap bits.
• Paying a fortune for a beer. Realising the town still has to many Kevs when you go back to visit friends and family. The inter racial aggro. I lived in Middlesbrough (hardly Monte Carlo) which has a similar ethnic mix and there is nothing like the aggro in Wycombe. The people aren't particularly friendly.
• Temporary residents thinking they have a right to criticise. If you dont like it, dont stay.
• Being here a lot
• The worst thing about Wycombe is that it could be a pleasant place to live. It has a slowely improving town centre, visually at least, the Rye is is a lovely spot to sunbath, walk and ride as long you go during the day and when you do get bothered by the twats that tend to frequent the place. In fact if you Nuke Castlefield, parts of Totteridge and Micklefield Wycombes reputation would increse a billion fold. I do however appologise to those people who where dumped there without a clue of the area by the council and who have been trying to escape for months, maybe even years.
• The Kevs
• Not living in castlefield
• Castlefield and Micklefield. Too many commuters to other places. Where have all the born and bred Wycombe folk gone?
• THE PEOPLE WHO SELL THE DRUGS
• People with attitude - like anywhere, Friday and Saturday night drunks - like any big town.
• The attitude of the town centre occupants, who harass people and who do the town no favours with the gang warfare - please what ever you do travel out of the centre, the villages are gorg and the chiltern hills are lovely with pubs worth at least one pint everywhere. Thame has the most pubs in britain for its size. Bargain!!!
• THE SHITTY ESATATES WHICH CROWD THE TOWN AND POPULATE IT WITH LITTLE ARSEHOLES WITH NOTHING BETYTER TO DO THAN TERRORIZE OLD DEARS. ALSO ALL THE PONCES WHO GO TO RGS9 NOT MY BROTHER0 WHO SPEND THEIR LIVES BEING BUGGERED BY THE BUTLER.
• Some of the police seem to think that skating is illegal in Wycombe. If they challenge you, stand your ground, 'cos it's bollocks, but if they're going to fine you or confiscate your board or something it's not worth it - the bastards will do it
• umm....well where shall I start. Race relations are bad, everything is expenisve and the people have an attitude problem and lots more
• The part-time bus lane! Runs from Loudwater in the East as far as the Western end of the Rye. It cause delays, accidents, confusion and general mayhem. But the local planners still think it's great. Unfortunately, they seem to be alone in this view. Also, Handy Cross roundabout (Junc 4 - M40) - what a nightmare!
• People who don't know each other shaking hands, pretending to use mobile phones, wearing trousers from Burtons, standing in the way, swearing, and all in school time!
• You need a second mortgage to park your car
• VERY complicated bus lane system - in or out, that's the question!
• All the bloody mini roundabouts!!!
• Besides its nearness to London and the fact that its always been one of the easiest places to pick up any illegal substances you need the place is a shithole and I should know I spent well over 20 years there. Violence more like you'd expect in the rougher areas of the inner cities...I hardly know a bloke of my age who regularly drinks in the town centre who hasn't been mugged/threatened at least once.
• The real Wycombe people are all pretty down to earth unfortunately due to its proximity to London and its grammar schools its attracted unfriendly snobby tossers from the rest of Britain. It used to be a thriving industrial town (furniture and paper making)but these peoples opposition to any expansion of these has meant theyve all closed down and the town as died.
• Bloody Hatters Lane School.
• People with chip on their shoulders. Idiots trying to act big when they ain't
• Royal grammar school
• Mad moustachioed vertically challenged scottish w**kers who are stuck in the 1970's
• Loads of old people and nothing to do
• The Kevs. All of them.
• Quite a few people with attitudes and violent tendencies, but not that scary, really.
• Shitty town
• You're right, Wycombe is a shitty town and as anyone who has lived there for more than three seconds will know, there are no clubs in the town. Everyone goes somewhere else that usually involves a ride off your mates!!!! There is a violent tendancy due to shear boredom but the easiest thing to do is not to be in any of the shopping centres past 5pm on a Saturday night!!! My best advice is to stay away completely as I now do!!!
• Shopping here is crap due to the fact that it lacks good shops.
• High Wycombe? What can I say? Bloody steep hills, bloody big spiders, expensive beer, unfriendly people lurking in council car parks. Virtually no decent shops apart from supermarkets [nice Tesco] crap pubs, The Orchard [wear a mattress strapped to your backs ladies]. Hell: I'm glad I lived there, just so that I can cheer myself up that I don't any more.
• Ignorant, bomberjacket-wearing wankers tear up ramps and start fights for no apparent reasons. Ignorant, underpaid safety directors take away ramps that we built just because they hate teenagers.
• The entire town is a complete dump, populated by taxi drivers and slags who stand in the bus station and the Octagon shouting at anyone who cares to pass. Puffa jackets and Green and Orange XR3i's with blacked out windows, 500 watt bass tubes and at least six people inside doing laps of the High Street all day - don't you people have jobs????
• THE CYNICS
• The bloody racsist white kids who hated the black kids, the Asian kids and anyone in between , the racsist black kids who hated the white kids and the Asians and anyone else in between.
