  • The Scummers
  • Emma, the retarded girl who lives at no. 2 St Nicholas Close, opposite the car wash. The town bicycle. For a free screw, why not call her on 07804264148.
  • The people - some people are lovley, but there are loads that really spoil it, picking fights, setting fire to cars, and generally being anti-social.
  • the park high school kids : rough and skanky as hell
  • NEGATIVITY! We have great stuff here, a lot of FREE things, like the festivals, (ok a lot of its not my thing either, you can't please all the people....) enjoy
  • What a bunch of sad, small minded twat's. This is Kings Lynn a country Bumpkin, ass end of nowhere place! You all bang on about how rough it is! HA! you don't have a clue! So when was the last gang shooting in this town? NEVER! Mongs!
  • the worst thing is kings lynn is full of chavs
  • evrytin else
  • Some of the new buildings could come from any town, the people are so relaxed it would take a bomb to get some excited and the Council seems to have a hatred of trees.
  • The Mayors car a Mercedes for goodness sake, more in keeping with the office would be a 1974 Morris Marina coupe.

  • massive chav/skally/pikey scum culture
  • CHAVS they come out of the woodwork at nite its worse than wisbeach
  • Traffic (there are only 3 roads and 1 ferry service into Lynn), supermarkets (town is dominated by Tesco)
  • THE FUCKING CHAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • sometimes smells of fish!
  • They're digging up all the exit roads at the same time so DON'T COME HERE - YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT AGAIN. The traffic is appalling, the town centre flattened, and now the useless council want to cut down the majority of the trees in the Walks, which was the only worthwhile thing about this place - see www.thewalks.co.uk
  • Slightly too many rough blokes looking for fights!!
  • theres fck all to do here
  • The worst thing about King's Lynn is King's Lynn. And there are no fit men here.
  • The man who wrote this report is a complete arse hole and shud be shot.... there are a lot of fit birds walkin round if ya come on a friday and saturday nite.. SO FUCK YOU GOTHIC TOSSER

  • people who slag the place of by comparing it with norwich and peterborough. norwich is twice the size of Lynn, of course it's going to have more stuff, it's a city and king's lynn (believe it or not) is a town. compare it with other local towns like wisbech or swafham and suddenly lynn looks a lot better!
  • THE WHOLE TOWN!!
  • Fairstead estate should just be wiped of the face of the earth!!
  • the people, the pubs, the town centre the whole place
  • lynn itself
  • Drugs! Drugs seem to be a major issue in this town, which in turn accounts for a lot of the petty crimes. Just hope the Police / Council finally wake up and try and put the brakes on the situation! The West Norfolk accent
  • People that slag off Kings Lynn. These are usually the ones with nothing to offer the town, so just leave, it'll probably do a lot better without you !!!!!
  • ASYLEM SEEKERS
  • North Lynn
  • Near to Wisbech.
  • to much to type
  • Concrete grey colour of the shopping area!
  • The foul smelling mobile burger bar (Tinas Chuck Wagon!) near the bus station and the crime ridden Fairstead Estate, built in the 1960s to house all the London overspill families.
  • well how long have u got????
  • There are quite alot of bosnians wandering the streets of lynn- GO HOME!
  • NO BUSES AT NIGHT PEOPLE WHO CANNOT ENJOY THEMSELVES WITHOUT GETTING DRUNK ON A FRI OR SAT AND HAVING A FIGHT
  • A sad sad time, the time the 'Rummer' served its last pint....
  • The number of traffic lights! What is with that!?
  • Bits of the town are really cool, old industrial port buildings, but the ghastly 60's buildings and... and... Ohhh, it's just so bloody dull! Absolutely no soul whastsoever. Really. I advise avoiding Lynn altogether, especially that fucker of a roundabout entering the city, where you have to change lane about 20 times. I'm afraid Norwich really is the capital of Norfolk, and is about a hundred times more interesting than this travesty of a city.
  • Weeds upto your knees in the gutter, also rubbish and dog crap. The council are running all services into the ground so that they can waste our council tax on stupid projects that nobody uses like a huge smelly rubbish filled pond in the middle of town that is supposed to be a marina except you cannot get a boat in it. Illegal imigrants 1000's of them. They are going to takeover and destroy Lynn.
  • Kings Lynn is not for the intelligent-minded. I lived there for 21 years until I finally graduated and found my way to London. I go back irregularly to visit my parents and I can honestly say that if I am not dumb enough to spend more than 2 days at a time there. By which stage the conversation has repeated itself at least once!
  • the far end of bagge road its allways like worldwar three there. the rain the traffic
  • everything!
  • pikies. everywhere. you want to try working in the town centre on a saturday
  • staying and dying of boredom
  • People who slag off the Town after one or two visits (usually Northerners) because they haven't got no comparison or never will have
  • not enough space
  • arriving
  • The shopping centre is a disgrace! mostly empty shop premises, the rest seem to be mobile phone shops! and they insist you have a leaflet about these phones as you walk about town.
  • The town is full of old shops, phone shops (about 10)book shops(about 10)and theme pubs, lots. the children from the local estates are rude and unruley. A very bad traffic problem.
  • No Brain people who are still living in the world of their parents from 1950 anti-everything that isn't the so called same as them We all live in the same world lets all respect each other
  • Mart time, a very good time to double lock your sheds and bikes .........
  • It stinks!
  • I can honestly say I find nothing bad about the parts of King's Lynn that I visit which are mainly the town center and Gaywood and Wootten areas, I realy love the Walks.
  • There is one!!!
  • Having lived there all my life I'll give my view of the town. I think that Lynn would be a much nicer place if half the residents were got rid of - King's Lynn seems to have more weirdos, wankers looking for fights, and generally anti-social messed up people than anywhere else in England. Most people are out for a fight when they go out at night. The town itself is alright, the shopping area may not be the best but its got character. Lynn has also got its fair share of toffs, mainly rich farming types etc.
  • The Kooky people that live there! Many bruisers around, endless amount of charity shops (no offence to the heart foundation or save the children, but enough is enough!) It always seems to rain! The council estates are depressing!!!
  • It hasn't happened yet.
  • crappy tight nit comunitys
