The Worst Things in Oldham, Greater Manchester*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Oldham.

The Worst Things
  • Oldham council.
  • My father was violently assaulted near his home in Saddleworth, he died from head injuries, but the corrupt police said he had a heart attack. The photographs show the imprints and the evidence is overwhelming. The hospital reported suspicious circumstances. The coroner acts numb to it all
  • Police are corrupt. You can be a law abiding citizen who has been brought up to be honest and decent but find yourself abused
  • people can be petty minded and complain like it's going out of fasion.
  • Theyre all street boxing matches
  • The Town Centre floor clock, So big you walk over it with out seeing it and it's never worked since it was built. It's made from LED's stuck into the floor. You can spend some free time trying to pick out the Lights though!
  • People that think a Saddleworth postcode makes them 'special'!
  • Defunct police station on Milnrow Road, Shaw now converted into a nursery. Does this make it a bit more acceptable? (Thanks for providing a bit of a giggle)
  • The flat caps.
  • trouble causing asians and threir eight million kids
  • Deep racist hatered on all sides- leading to horrific attacks, terraced housing, thick people, alot of badly dressed lads, Europes worst teenage pregnancy rate and the U.K.s worst herpees record (not suprising though), Corruption in tax offices and amoungst bouncers and police.
  • The buses, every ten minutes? My ass.
  • In Spindles Shopping Centre, smoking is allowed but eating is NOT allowed.
  • People who think voting BNP will fuck up the town worse
  • National Front wankers. Yeah, we're so proud that we were almost the first town in the country to elect an out-and-proud Nazi to the British Parliament. That's something to be proud of. Look, setting fire to a Pakistani corner-shop is not going to get you any girls, okay? Stop giving the rest of us a bad name and go and crawl back under your rock, for God's sake.
  • to name a few would leave so much unexplored
  • Pissed people starting fights at 2am. National Front twats -RM
  • The people who think voting BNP will do anything but fuck the town up even worse.
  • the M6 Northbound!
  • There is so much litter and accumulated trash that it looks looks like Oldham is built on a landfill site... Without first removing the landfill site.
  • The accent! Oh, my God the accent! Even a reasonably intelligent person can sound dumb with an Oldham accent. I hate listening to it but I suppose if I want to get a decent education it's an evil I'll have to put up with.
  • The meatheads in The Pineapple Pub, Shaw
  • THE BLOODY WEATHER,BUT IT PREPARED ME FOR WHAT IT'S LIKE IN NEW ZEALAND
  • Rains without fail, nearly every day, Gets Very cold, People take the piss of out accent
  • Cotton Mills
  • Mama Pizzas (What a load of bollocks)
  • The film "Brassed Off" was filmed in and around Dobcross.
  • Litter
  • The never-ending drizzle
