  • EVERY One who iss talking on here iss just a joke ... Surfing is one off the things i thinks that is great for Porthcawl.. It has big support and is great for everyone... people who talk bad about Porthcawl are Scum bags who cant afford to live their and talk shit beacuse they live just out of itt where its crap
  • The school, the dog shit on every pavement, the old people, the trogs, the fat people
  • Magic mike
  • THE SUMMER TROG INFESTATION "STAY AWAY WE DONT NEED OR WANT YOU"
  • Tourists
  • State of the nation being unsigned
  • THE TARMAC ROADS SURROUNDING PORTHCAWL . THEY SHOULD ALL BE DUG UP AND REPLACED WITH RUBBER.
  • THE WORST THING IS I THINK PORTHCAWL IS THE GAY CAPITAL OF THE UK.
  • quqing 4eva 4 a kebab/burger at 2 o'clock!
  • Touting for business in the main street by the Art Society polying their wares. Not only does it make the street look shoddy, someone at sometime is going to want to have a look at their traders licence!!!! I wonder where that is ????
  • they should extend the the sea front promenade path onto locks common and possibly as far as rest bay crying out for a marina development taking away the railway in the sixties building a dual carriage (and a roundabout as big as some countries) which spilts the town in two halves
  • MR SLADE THE ARAGENT PLEB
  • Troggs
  • WHERE DO PEOPLE GO TO SPEND ALL THEIR POSH PORTHCAWL MONEY?? IT SURE AINT PORTHCAWL - SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES, PLEASE, OR THE TOWN WILL END UP FULL OF ROPEY KNACKERED PUBS FULL OF KIDS, AND CHARITY SHOPS...OH, HANG ON A MINUTE TALKING OF ROPEY KNACKERED PUBS, WILL SOMEONE PAINT THE PIER HOTEL PLEASE? FEEL LIKE DOING IT MYSELF SOMETIMES, IT LOOKS SO BAD
  • scummy trogs
  • Having to battle the youth club who congregate at the local Burgerking
  • Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The karts i mean
  • Cat man, school, the charity shops, etc.
  • Scummy trogs and Valley Commandoes.
  • Bank holiday trippers (but then again half the facilities would shut without them)
  • the kids!!!
  • Bearded men in bus shelters
  • The road into here :)
  • The nights are too short
  • drama teachers and headmaster - Big Al!
  • I have lived in porthcawl for 11 years. i went to porthcawl comprehensive in year 7 and got expelled from there in year 8 for wearing trousers!! The school and the majority of the people are selfish pretentious snobs. POrtcawl Comp is run by a bunch of peferted old men who will not admit that they are wrong. BE WARNED do not send children to the school without finding out the full information on their policies and heads!!!
  • It gets a bit too quiet in the winter.
  • Young scateboarders who pay little or no tax to keep the town running but believe they have the right to destroy it with their vandal-like behaviour
  • The civic trust (boring old farts who want to ban fun) various other whingey old people
  • TROGS
  • I don't live there now
  • Like most seaside tos it kind of goes to sleep in the winter , apart from Christmas when it goes bonkers
  • Accommodation for overseas visitors. How can the local economy be stimulated and put Porthcawl on the map if B+Bs like Sound of The Waves double-book and rudely shunt surprised foreign tourists into lodging for workmen? There also appears to be rudeness and service without a smile in a certain souvenir shop with a neo-monopoly in the Highstreet...
  • Get's kinda boring after a while......Trogs have to be the most annoying things that ever walked the earth - enough already !!
  • The surfing community! Definitely the 'Umpa Lumpas' of Porthcawl's, 'I wish I were still a teen' society! Thank goodness most of us were able to get out to Uni' and leave them splashing about near the sewage outlet on the beach!!
  • Flat ground where the Stoneleigh Niteclub used to be
  • Not enough shops. Too many banks/building socities. Nowhere for the kids to go except the prom , beach (see above). The slow pace of life. Preponderance of elderly people who don't necessarily understand the needs of the skaters etc .
  • The trogs who swarm to Trecco Bay and invade the town in the summer.
