The Worst Things in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Wellingborough.

The Worst Things
  • I moved here :(
  • The general brash unfriendliness of lots of the common council estate-dwellers. Having said that, some people on esates like the Hemmingwell (which is genuinely grim) are really friendly. Also the middle class people who live on the idenitkit estates around town can be unfriendly. The shitness of the nightlife is pretty remarkable - should be more going on for a town of its size.
  • Its a bit chavvy but then where isn't anymore.
  • local hoodies carefull lock your car
  • OK there are a lot of pubs,restaurants and cafes but you have to have a death wish if you wish to visit them of an evening, that and the fact that your car will be nicked,trashed or both.
  • the bad people who in minority ruin it for the good people
  • wellingborough and ur mum
  • Jippos
  • The "instant arsehole - just add lager" massive
  • this is a totall shit hole, ive been a couple of times, full of townie wankers, i stayed in a hotel overnight and in the mornin there were bullet holes in the door of my room, only come if u want 2 get shot over and over and over again in the face
  • duh, its wellingborough!
  • the smack head those little packy shit that think they black and the kids who think there bad cos there parents have made a name 4 them selves (NICKY STRAY) and last but not least the whloe fucking town just bomb the shithole ive lived here 4 too long!!!!!
  • MORRISONS CAFE It should be re-named APATHY. Due to the decline in the quality of service provided it is suggested that the Cafe should be called APATHY. The thinking here is that in spite of continuous complaints from their customers,it is still the policy of Morrison's to allow their customers to grow old gracefully while they wait for the cooked food that they have ordered. There just doesn't appear to be any form of organisation in place. Is it the lack of resource, lack of training or just a couldn't care less attitude on the part of the company. Morrison's Directors take heed. The net result is
  • Hemmingwell:full of fucked in the head poor people and gypsies if yopu dont like your car park it down there turn your back for 20 seconds and itll be gone
  • Terrence Williams. Ex crim. Mopes around McDonalds asking for a quid "to get back to his son in Northampton" ALL BOLLOCKS. Never been violent with me so just politely tell him to sod off. FACTIOD: once stole a coat from MATALAN and then walked in the next day wearing it and got arrested. Tit.
  • To many overspillers from the slums of London. These scum bags have ruined Wellingborough thats why I moved out to Kettering a much better town
  • dont go to wellingbourough inless you want to get stabbed. its a fuckin shit hole full of skanky bastads
  • The councils always building new things. Unfortunately there the wrong things. We need more charity shops, Yeah! Not supermarkets.
  • the council allowed "Londoners" to live here and so destroyed a lovely rural market town.
  • The stink from Chettle's factory, when the wind's in the wrong direction. (They process animal carcases and chicken giblets etc. into dog/cat food. They also farm maggots for the fishing-bait industry!) It's about 3 miles up the Nene Valley from town, but on a hot summer's day, with the wind blowing from that quarter, it's pretty bad!!!
  • Lack of decent nightclubs - Evo is a youth club!
  • The council. The lack of decent night clubs. The knuckle-dragging trendies on Saturday/Friday nights.
  • The crime problem. The skanky people with poor dress sense. The kids who think they are from the "ghetto".
