The Worst Things in Selly Oak, West Midlands*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Selly Oak.

The Worst Things
  • Loads of students, especially the northern/Brummie ones that have funny, unintelligible accents and don't speak the Queen's English.
  • Ming (as in the instantiation of mingingness, not ming the merciless. Though the ming in selly oak is quite merciless), rats, incessant noise, burgulars.
  • selly oak schselly oak school oak tree lane it is the 2nd ugly's building on the earth a horrible square shaped building,plus all the staff a mood
  • the rubbish, however much ur feet hurt girls on the way back from the clubs keep those shoes on!
  • Rats, landlords who couldn't care less, your average quota of nutters you expect in a city, OMCO closing down...
  • The really posh students who annoy everyone (including students) with their home counties accents and general ignorance of working class people who (quite rightly) often punch their lights out outside curry houses after an argument over anything (i.e. nothing).
  • The permanent residents complaining about student behaviour all the time. I've lived there for a year, and really don't think its that bad. And they make us out to be Neighbours From Hell on TV.
  • bristol road
  • piles of last nights dinner regurgitated and left in the middle of footpaths by students. Litter left by permanant residents but blamed on students. High likelihood of being muugged/abducted/run over by bristol road motorists.
