The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Northampton.

The Worst Things

• the worst shop for buying furniture is rock bottom warehouse 42 gold street, they are quick to take your money but the furniture does not arrive on the date they said and they dont tell you when it is going to come and its crap when you get it and they wont give a refund so be careful.
• Thursday nights are crap for clubbing! Even the locals told us to go to Milton Keynes.
• Can get very boring.
• to many immigrants so getting harder to speak english in the streets
• Londoners, Poles, cosavos, aficans, drunks , pimps, pushers, traffic wardens, clampers , speed cameras, nowhere decent to skate, potholes, but worse of all Bloody Chavs. oh and the eastern district.
• There is a wide population of screaming local chavs, but likewise there is a wide population of emo/indie kids with them 'aircuts and neck scarves, who are just dying to look the part. Apparently Northampton also has the ugliest men in the country.
• chavs, the bus station, snobs, upper class toffs and the closure of Radlands and also morrisons.

• Too many Wogs
• Too many Wogs
• www.bmxlifestyle.cjb.net
• Roadmender closing
• The corner shop on balmoral road, every white person is a thief in there???? The wife is also a sour faced whore!!!! They try and charge extra on the sly, WATCH YOUR CHANGE BEFORE YOU LEAVE AS MISTAKES CAN NOT BE RECTIFIED. And the lazy bastards shut at 9.00pm.
• A bitter, small-town mentality seems to loom large over everything.
• TOWNIES!

• Northampton Borough Council and the ballon festival. Somehow the ballon festival leaves you feeling depressed.
• Everything...
• The town has lots. The winos, losers, townies, drug addicts, my BMXing ex, the boys at boy school. Some of them are m=nice but some of them are stuck up knob jockeys, toffs...
• the gum on the floor
• Northamptonians NEVER make eye contact with each other
• fucking twats who think they everything about every one
• The people, the buildings, the choice of shops, clubs, pubs and housing. The roads are alright though.
• Main part of Bridge street on a Saturday night. Horrific one way system. Extortionate parking fees. Ridiculous traffic jams caused by horrendous traffic management and bloody B&Q.
• Moving away
• This place is full, and I mean FULL of cripples, retards, the lame, the halt, the disabled and the otherwise incapacitated. If you don't want to feel out of place as you walk down the high street, best to affect a limp or feign mental illness.
• cosovans in the town, townies, treadies, tho sum them ok, grosvenor center guards, h8 me! !BUS STATION!
• The gang warfare......the pollution.....he stuck up snobs from nsb
• horrid shops like internacionale where rude gals work.
• This is the birthpalce of one Andy Woolmer. The man who single handedly destroyed Hereford Uniteds return to the football league. If you see this man then please call him a cheat, a c**t, a w****r. The most arrogant man in the world. This guy deserves no respect off anyone in northampton and every effort should be made to drive this man out of town. This man is a disgrace to the people of northampton and should be hounded out of town.

• Franklins Gardens - Home of the egg chashers NSB - sore arse capital of the world
• A lot of not very nice people!!!
• they removed the old fountain from market square. and also i think they should have kept the trams in norhampton as they would help disabled people get down abington street without walking.
• Local people talking the town down when it has so much to offer.
• The people of Northampton seem so endeared to their own apathy that they put more effort into having a mediocre time than a good one. It appauls me more because I can feel it happening to me too.
• There is a certain "we don't like strangers around these parts" arrogance to your typical Northamptonian, a mixture of proud-to-be-thick working class defiance and a sad reluctance to accept that times have changed and things have moved on. Far too many old people wandering around in a daze clutching plastic shopping bags, and FAR too many ethnics.
• Where are the non underage girls?
• Evry other fucking thing about this god forsaken shit hole - esp The Keep public house
• No decent jobs for the uneducated masses. Not enough sex shops.
• The dregs of society lingering on every concievable corner. There must be the highest level of dregs per square mile
• The blokes that venture out on Saturday nights, having forgotten to tuck their shirts in and dry their hair. There also seem to be more & more beggars & alco's about. The fights and general sh!tty behaviour that goes on at weekends, particularly in the town centre.
• All the preps are so aggressive, they come down in a massive group and try to pick fights but everyone just gets scared and runs off
• the big fights between the different divisions of people, like greebos, goths skaters, townies
• I was devistated when The Black Rose was changed to that Fomative Fun shop for kids....its criminal.....i saw in the papers "its so good that we got rid of that dark grungy shop" but where are the dark and grungy people gonna go now!!!
• Northampton seems to be in a world of it's own
• getting grounded
• The ever-increasing pikey, Somali, Albanian, Kosovan population and the depressing pall that hangs over the slowly dying empty shell of a town centre.
• The no drinking policy in the streets of the town! specially Abbington street and St. Giles' Graveyard, but the fact the police never visit the graveyard does render it slightly useless.
• nortampton yobs alady named julie who is about 48 who looks like gary gliter and goes to chicago rock and dances with apole making aabsalute joke of her self mutton dressesd as lamb drinks cider
• nortampton yobs alady named julie who is about 48 who looks like gary gliter and goes to chicago rock and dances with a pole making a absalute joke of her self mutton dressesd as lamb drinks cider and special brew
• the fights i dont know what to say about it but dont all towns have little tiffs
• Goths
• insular minds
• Supposed club-wars. Grebettes outside Spinadics comparing whos got the biggest problems or biggest scars. And the smelly buses.
• 19 year olds in ben sherman shirts. prats
• Those who moan, just because you wern't lucky enough to attend NSB, don't drag the rest of the town down by your infernile annoyance and untidyness, You kappa queens know who you are. And for good sake could some please replace the Brieley's bought christmas decorations of Greyfriars bus station.
• The people. They can be quite rude.
• Sporadic outbursts of vandalism, thuggery and aggro by bored brats, the disturbingly rampant drug and alcohol culture, asylum seekers galore.
• Everything!!! Northampton is a joke!! The people are so backward and their accents!! They sound as thick as s***t!! The town has always been crap and it has just got worse as time has gone by. It is full of clubs and pubs and the locals think it is great!! They think a great night out can be had in Northampton, please open your eyes, there is more to life than getting drunk week in, week out but then if you do not know any different...there is such a thing as culture. I grew up in Northampton and I hated it, luckily my family are not local and I spent a lot of time when growing up in London with other family members, at least I know that life exists outside Northampton unlike a lot of people I used to know. I also thank my lucky stars, in fact I am eternally grateful that I do not sound like a local, I have a soft London accent and do actually sound intelligent unlike the locals of Northampton.
• those with mullets, leather jackets, mobile phones and probably a weapon of some kind who hang around the grosvenor centre.
• too many pubs in a condensed area.
• The people here are extremely bitter and closed-minded, they think anybody with an ounce of refinement (or tuppence more than they've got) is a snob and the whole place seems to be infected with a poisonous "Know your place, don't rise above yourself, don't come out of your hole" dictatorship of complacent conformity. Also, people tend to be very keen on spreading lies and rumours about people they dislike, rather than sorting it out with them face-to-face.
• visage, the smell of piss
• I wonder if the 1% of the population that make up "Little Kosovo" are in fact ethnic Albanians, or just plain Albanian. Bad news, that lot. They're all compulsive liars and thieves.
• The people can be a bit sharp and rude in there manner although you can get that everywhere. Some clubs in town are a bit rough and the bouncers at chicago's love themselves big time.
• pervy twats in the town and clubbers.
• everything else, just about. but at least its better than milton keynes!
• the number of kappa slappers who frequent the town! why dress like you just steped out of "glo in the dark monthy?"
• the amazing numbers of townies
• Alastair Andrews. Smug self-satisfied pseudo-skaters outside Spinadisc. Kevin Wilson's cack-handed management of Northampton Town.
• twofaced people here,talk about you behind your back,then invite you in for ccoffee.also if you fall out with someone,instead of them sorting it out they add at least another mile on to the problem,tell their side which isn,t true,thenthe flack starts,really some of people here are nasty,i know i,ve been on the receiving end of their lies but my saying is come speak to me,don,t listen to gossip? get the truth from horses mouth
• pub closing times, very few decent club nights
• Loads of townies, trendies, fashion victims, greebos, skaters and conformist creeps spoiling for fights.
• The people and everything. the whole place should be demolished, christ even Milton Keynes has more soul than this dump. The only entertainment is the pubs and that's where everybody goes to get blind drunk in order to forget that they live in nowhere.
• the amount of alternative people that have some how imurged!!! it used to be just the odd few of us up town now these kids have taken over and to be honest they arnt alternitve cause they all look the same muhahaha
• The men
• Northampton School For Girls, especially Years 9-11. Northampton School For Boys, ie. the lot of them. Everything in Northampton. The only football team that lives up to its name- Cobblers. Trendies. Metallers. Skaters. People who think they are punks because they like Blink 182. People who call me a greebo- FOR HEAVENS SAKE, I AM NOT A GREEBO. I AM A NEW WAVE INDIE PUNK!!!!
• It's taken them until 2001 to get a cinema. Buses don't run very often (to Hillmorton anyway.) Too many pubs (and they want to open more!)
• The bus station. Costs a lot. Full of snobs with mobiles and £100 trainers.
• 1: Security cameras everywhere, and more all the time. 2: Increasing franchisement. We're losing small, quirky shops in favour of big bastard juggernauts like Virgin. 3: I wouldn't hit a town centre pub at night without a lot of backup. Many tossers in the town. Racehorse is always dependable for its safe clientele of downbeats, freaks and losers.
• Arrogant NSB idiots who think they're SO much better than everyone. Lings rule! The Eastern Districts - knock them down PLEASE!!! The lack of cinemas, or in fact anything remotely interesting east of town. The amount it costs to get into the cinema, and the high bus fares. It's full of snobs - people who don't have much money but will spend it on trendy clothes or mobile phones instead of important things.
• Loads of dodgy areas - Spencer, Lings, Lumbertubs, Goldings, the Eastern district and St James are all full of moronic scumbags.
• The eastern district, and anyone from there, the disturbingly large drugs culture.
• TRENDIES nuff said
• Full of townie scum, ugly bastards, trendies, Kappa slappers and the like. (And I DON'T like them.)
• STUPIDLY long wait for black & white cabs at All Saints church rank. Has the number of cabs increased since the war ended?. ALL bars close at 11pm.
• slipknot trendies are everywhere. and the trendies will start on you if you are a greb
• Loads, no decent clubs, Adam's departure from Papa Cino's, Billy the DJ at the old Ritzy! etc etc etc.
• The scaby twats that attend any other school other than our own!!!!!!!! NSB
• Don't visit Northampton. It should be renamed Little Kosovo. 1% of the population are now bogus asylum seekers who hang around the town centre, pubs and clubs. They are young men all of whom have designer clothes, mobile phones, can afford to smoke thanks to the ever stupid British Tax payer. Come on down if you dare - it's very intimidating.
• Townies, Bright trousers, adidas
• Thursdays at the lounge. Overabundence of grebs.
• The Grovener center
• The transport is not brilliant, especially the buses to other bits of the county.
• The proliferation of graffiti all over the Town Centre that leaves no structure unscathed
• One of the worst things about Northampton is the complete anonymity of the place. The town centre appears to continuously be filled with shirt-wearing clones, who make the place look really dull.
• One of the worst things is the theiving gits on the fruit and veg stall on the market, who do OAP's out of their money, like the Bloke who runs the fruit and veg, the one who went on Blind Date.... he done my dad out of a £5. How many others has he conned?
• The Eastern District
• Wino's everywhere
