  • PISS ON STREET
  • Ravenous but blind developers

  • Nowhere decent to eat
  • theres not many fit guys and if there is they have girlfiend who are bitchy! o dear the population of chavs is on the increas AAARRRGGGHH save me!
  • The scumbags. Kettering is full of them. But its positively delightful compared to Wellingborough and Corby.
  • The A14. 'nuff said.
  • manchester united
  • scutters, fucking kids and more scutters.
  • As with every small town, kettering suffers from the condition as where everyone seems to be sharing the same brain cell.People seem to become trapped there, blinded by an inability to make something of their regressive lives.I got out before it was too late.
  • the worst things of kettering would have to be.....all of the girls who walk around thinking they are hot. AND.DONT.THEY.JUST.KNOW.IT. and especially the ones who think they are "SKATER" chicks. so much competition in this o so tiny shit hole
  • It's a bit close to Rushden.
  • the worst thing about kettering is that is is to near to corby and corby is trampi ville, EVERY TIME YOU GO TO CORBY YOU ALWAYS GET MUGGLED AND THE COPPERS NEVER ARE THERE TO HELP. EVERY TIME YOU WALK AROUND KETTERING YOU GET MUGGED BUT CORBY PEOPLE AND IT IS A TRAMI VILLE

  • The worst thing about Kettering is that the its to near corby for my liking, they always cum here to moan. Lack of shop and to many travel agents and phone shops
  • Fat and ugly people just littering the streets with their presence. Overweight teenage single mums shouting coom 'ere ya lickle bastadd. Very cultural - I'm sure. I think the BT Building should be nominated for 'Building of the year' Nothing resembles the 21st century. I think that this place still lives in the 1950's. The attitude will never change because 'we've always doon it like that me dook'
  • Being near to Corby.
  • The fukin midget townies that are anywhere and everywhere. And evryone is scared of them aswell.

  • The worst things about Kettering? Well, once when someone asked me where I lived, I told them and they replied "Ah yes, the asshole of Britain".

If you expect smiles and everyone knowing each other and buying their fish... DONT COME TO KETTERING.
