The Worst Things in Leigh on Sea, Essex*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Leigh on Sea.

The Worst Things
  • The worst things i find in my home town are the lack of a 'gay scene', my partner and i are getting frustrated with the homophobe mentality here in this god foresaken town. Also, we are converts to Islam and find that we cannot walk down leigh Hill without being discriminated against, the chav, cider drinking plebs need to convert to islam to be saved from themselves. Also, we will be boycotting the Ship pub due to the racist commenst made to Kevin, my partner about his colour!! you disgust me Ship
  • The food in the Peterboat pub. The new money types who like to wear and mouth off about money. People parking flash cars outside bars on double yellows (not very classy) Drinking in Vie on a busy night and some of the girls who think that just because you open your mouth and speak to them think you wanna shag em and start giving you attitude (I only said excuse me ..dont let it go to your head), over dressed and over made up girls with Louis Vitton/Burberry handbags strategically placed on bar to denote pseudo wealth and guys talking very loudly on their mobiles outside Vie.
  • Anyone under the age of 18 who still thinks it's cool to wear a baseball cap back to front.
  • Probably exactly what I've just showed...Leigh-ites can be very arrogant about their little town and have a better-than-thou approach. But hell, we've earned it, gits though we may be.
  • The house prices are out of control.
  • Kidzzz that can't get served in the pub hang about outside the off-licences on Friday night. Usually they have one cigarette between 15 of them and will hassle passers by to "buy me some vodka, mate".
  • Little parking-but if you have time to cruise around you'll find something and it's all free
  • I'll repeat what somebody else has posted because it's so true - " it's the beige tracksuit/ peaked cap/ cheap gold wannabe gangsters that make the place shit to live in. Do us all a favour and leave"
  • The fact that all the men are so god damn sexy, but i never have a chance with any of them.
  • Grungers dont look for trouble in leigh, it's the beige tracksuit/ peaked cap/ cheap gold wannabe gangsters that make the place shit to live in. Do us all a favour and leave.
  • The hilarious notion that so-called 'grungers' are looking for a fight all the time is sadly held by many of the white chinos and Ben Sherman brigade. How do they know the 'grungers' "all want a fight"? Well, it's because when the Ben Sherman brigade accuse them of being homosexual or a girl because, erm... um, they have long hair, they tell you to f-off or look at them 'a bit funny like'. And that, if you're a knuckle-dragging quarter-wit, obviously means they want a fight. Oh, and 'grunger' as a collective known is at least ten years out of date. What 'grungers' want, is not to be sworn at in the street by idiots who think Garry Bushell is the funniest human alive. The only genuine reason for beating up 'grungers' would be that they believe themselves to be intellectually superior to the Ben Sherman 'It's friday - shall we have a fight, or a shag?' brigade. But they only think that because they blatantly are.
  • Leigh is full of grungers looking for a fight.
  • The Leigh Times without a dought is one of the worst things in Leigh, it's so right wing the iron maiden herself would be scared
  • The lack of places you can cycle saftly
  • no cinema,
  • when your 14 and apart from close friends the rest of the population is eiter old or your age but they don't want to hang out with you anyway because your a "grunger", this is the term used by all the jocks in the town when they think they look good in a nylon tracksuit and think Primo Levi is a form of washing powder and anything printed in the NME is the source of all evil, but saying that your lucky to find someone who knows what the NME is. All of the above also applies to Southend.
