It's stuck in a loop...kids grow up, live down the road from their mum, work at a the same local shop or pub that they used to work part-time at when they were at school, the people they know at school remain their friends for life and they still hold grudges from back then, and then they have kids, and their kids do exactly the same bloody thing.

  • the people who just wanna know everything, the people who get so druged up that they pass out at or feet in the local shitholes that they refer to as clubs, the 13-14 yr olds who go to these so-called clubs. twats who think that heir poor excuse for a penis enlargement e.g. a red festa is gona attract sane women that is if there is any, and who can 4get the plate of grease at the end of the night from the local turk shops!!
  • People very inward looking. There is a life and a world outside the big STOW CITY you know.
  • Where to start. Stowmarket is about 80% scum. 99% of the shops are tat. It's about as cosmopolitan as an Armish community. The average IQ is the same as the average number of toes: 11.
  • Stow is a fuckin dump its that shitehole in between Ipswich and Bury everytime i go down there I see the same losers who will be there in 50 years, retards who have to tatoo their names on their backs to remember them and clubs which are no bigger than my car boot if u like stow then u have never lived!!
  • other birds who are 'loose' the round brick thing, so poor and there was lighting around it who would want that lit up
  • everything apart from the museum and the trolly patrol!Rich Mac
  • The whole of stowmarket i think lol
  • the inbread peolple, gary boys, the sss (silly stowmarket slapers), pubs,clubs,the school and its teachers, ipswich wanabee hooligans who cant stand up to all the norwich boys, skateboarders, cheeky kids, young mothers, dodgy old blokes,transexuals, the drugs, underage drinking and smoking and the fact that no-one leaves stowmarket if they have theve been to the next village on a day out and thats it a REAL ROYSTON VASSEY (league of gentlemen) local place for local people which i am not
  • The hardcore locals. Those who despise all. Even themselves.
  • Men who don't like their girls giving it up easily.
  • Chloe Mossesson and people like her. No life but plenty of arrogance (no-one can work out why).
  • the shops in stowmarket are pretty pants and if your looking to do something at night time other than go and get drunk theres not really much to do. Theres no cool clubs for younger people to explote there hobies.
  • everythin
  • Where i used to live, Combs Ford area, near Melford Road. Place is full of wannabe gardeners, who are extremely opinionated and if you do not conform to their beliefs, you are black listed and outcasted!!!!!!!! I pity the people who live there and do not conform, cos we were one of them to!!
  • The bitchy girls - why do people have to be like that. All the problems between Girls in Stow you can guarantee a bloke will be involved, but they always come out of it smelling of roses. I think the girls should stick together and mess the blokes in Stow about for a change!!!!!!!
  • It's a safe little timewarp where nothing really happens. Lots of the people are really ill-mannered & ignorant
  • The bus into town
  • Shelly Betts
  • The large group of so called gary boys led by a fat blonde bloke with a 14 year old girlfriend.
  • There is NO-WHERE for under 18's to go!!! Wrinklys!! Crime rate that no body knows about!! Sarcastic police officers "farm yard animals"!!! Shop assistants that watch Every move you make because they think you are stealing!!We are not all thieves!! Cherry tree road!! Need I say more?!
  • The worst part of Stowmarket has really got to be all those poxy LONDONERS & the twats from the Manchester area!
  • Lack of facilities. Rubbish Shops. Lack of fresh new ideas from local council. Their inability to deal with youth crime and dogs poo just about every where you look.Peoples grumpy faces and a majority of rude unhelpful sahop assistants in the newer shops in town, mentioning no names.(select).
  • In ability of seemingly sane people (including many of my own associates) to realise that leaving Stowmarket permanetely is not only possible, but nearly always a preferable option. - Dr Gonzo
  • silly stowmarket slappers. and gary boys.
  • Jokers, Jokers, Jokers
  • ermmm the train station cos im scared of trains!!!
  • The way all the teenage girls look identical - and dreadful. They're all skinny with dark hair scraped into a bun, cheap black trousers and a pop eyed moody face.
  • absolutely nothing! its a brilliant place to be.
  • Level it and of the thick inbread locals.
  • THE YOUNG GIRLS AND THEIR LOVELY ACCENTS
  • THOSE POXY RAILWAY CROSSING GATES...DOWN FOR AGES B4 ANY TRAIN GOES PAST.
  • Squaddies as I said
  • the things which are wrong with every small town; there's everything, but only one of everything. That, and the faint suspicion of in-breeding you get when you look around the high street on a tuesday afternoon.
  • Market day, when the occupants all the tiny little villages come to town for their trip to the "big town". There's not enough chlorine in the gene pool here. Also the mobile phone store in the marketplace who never know how much their products cost. In general, Slowmarket exists in it's own little bubble of reality - you have to live here to know just how bad it is.
  • SQUADDIES,SQUADDIES,SQUADDIES,SQUADDIES,SQUADDIES,SQUADDIES,OH AND SQUADDIES,you see even your most lamest gary boy idiot is better than 6 or 7 drunken squaddies thinking theyre rock(rock is now considered an insult as in ROCK ROCK TO THE BEAT Y'ALL TO THE LAME CREW)whilst beating up 1 yes i mean 1 person be it man or woman and getting away with it NOTHING BUT COWARDS as its never 1 on 1 is it boys,apart from that stowmarket quite cool,with possibly some of the soundest people ive met coming from there,considering the amount of wŁ$^&%* ive met from the whole pop of england,oh and most things are never to far away
  • Not enough to do in the evenings. Not many late night shops. Not enough clothes shop's. Too many soldiers.
  • Everyone thinks they know your business and if they don't they make it up. JAM
  • The architecture - Stowmarket opened up with the coming of the railway, so there is little of interest before the victorian era, tho' the market square has some interesting georgian frontages on obviously older buildingsIf
  • Inbred people are everywhere. It is like the night of the living dead if you venture into town after 8pm on a Friday or Saturday night. Lock up your daughters (and pets) or they will come home with in a Repsol tin can with a bum fluff shaving Gary boy how things he is invincible but has never been outside Suffolk.
  • Gus Stayden.
  • The Gary boys and the masses of teenage mothers
  • er..everyone knowing your business
  • Everyone is mental. Imagine, you would be too if you could only buy clothes in QD, food in Gateways and cds in Woolies. Needham is ten times better, and that's pretty sad
  • Stowmarket is a shithole. I lived and worked there for four years and hated nearly every second of it. There is nothing to do and the people are all raving idiots
  • everyone is related to each other. it is small and dull. but sweet enough i suppose. a place to get out of by the time you are 20
  • EVERYBODY KNOWS EACH OTHER - IF YOU GET DRUNK AND MAKE A PRICK OF YOURSELF, EVERYBODY KNOWS ALSO SQUADDIES FROM THE NEARBY RAF BASE, WHO DESCEND UPON THE TOWN TO WREAK HAVOC AND IMPREGNATE YOUNG GIRLS THE BORED GARYBOYS WHO RIDE AROUND THE TOWN IN CIRCUITS IN THEIR SOUPED UP PENIS COMPENSATORS (MIND YOU THEY DO PROVIDE ENTERTAINMENT)
