The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Scunthorpe.

The Worst Things
  • Accent that is more Yorkshire than Lincolnshire !!!
  • arriving and the chavs
  • it piss down with rain.....ppl are miserable glanford park is biscuit tin horrid ground the police are arsehole glad it football thing why esle would bother to travel to scunthorpe
  • Too many white people who think they own the place. Seriously! I know!
  • The run down estates such as Crosby, Westcliff and Riddings.
  • pakis espesialyy muslims because in no racist biggist or biased manner i do feel they act like they ow the fuckin place
  • The Chavs and the illeagal aliens
  • Negative people who criticise the place when really its their lives that are the problem, I LOVE THE PLACE !!
  • Scunthorpe doesnt feel like anywhere. It is insignificant, a tiny little fart in the great blast of a place that is the UK. There is almost no gay scene. Apparently there is a gay night at the Baths, but if you are not into deafening music and dancing around shirtless, off your tits on alcopops then the scene is elusive, almost like a secret society.. you would have to know someone or ring up a number to find out where they are meeting. Scunthorpe must have enough homo people to warrant a gay pub or bar to themselves? Some (Ie- most) of the people are too closed minded.
  • All the Chavs
  • I HAVE BEEN SOME PLACES IN MY TIME ,THEY MOAN ABOUT SCUNTHORPE SAYING ITS A DUMP, ITS NOT THE PLACE ITS THE BLOODY PEOPLE GOD I HAVE NEVER MEET SO MANY GORPES I.Q. OF 98 GET RID OF THE PEOPLE THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMTHING PLEASE DONT SEND THEM DOWN SOUTH WHERE I LIVE PLEASE

  • Pidgeons!
  • JOHN LEGGOTT
  • Store detectives!they think there the fooking FBI the way they carry on!
  • Vandalism - Scunthorpe will keep its 'dump' image until vandals stop trashing it's every effort to maintain and re-vitalise it. Give Scunthorpe a chance - it is not only your town, it is ours too.
  • The worst thing about Scunthorpe is that it is a scruffy town. The centre is full of litter and if you walk through the ten-foots of Old Crosby and Frodingham Road area you will see old washing machines, bits of carpet, sofas everywhere. Uneducated people in these areas use ten-foots as dumping grounds. Scunthorpe is, in a word, a DUMP !
  • The roads and shite roadworks all over. And all the bad things that seem to be happenin lately. I'm sure people who live in Scunny know what I mean.
  • The choice of music in our weekend venues.
  • It is a shit hole
  • central park is great for an afternoon out with your little uns,,until you find that some little shite from whitman road has shit in the paddling pool,,,the dirty little shite,and you dare not confront the family because they look like a giant version of the addams family !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • The football team is dire
  • Ugly steel works - more trees please
  • road out
  • the fact that many people are connected because they hav inter-bread and married their cousines.
