• Not having a decent new book shop. WH Smith is just not adequate. Tesco Morrisons Buses
• Not really a worst thing - (in my opinion)
• nothing for the kids to do
• no work, bad access roads from elswhere in the country, boy racers,living next to workington
• Chavs, Nightspots, abusive little people who dont know whats good for them
• SLIK HAIR DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DEMOLISH IT

• theres nowt for the young uns to do but drink in castle park or street corners.
• BORDER TELEVISION, ITS ALL SCOTCH!!!!
• THERE IS NO BORDER BETWEEN US AND WORKINGTON TO STOP THE JAM EATING B****RDS COMING HERE
• THE HOME OWNERS ON RICHMOND WHOSE HEADS ARE STUCK UP THERE OWN ARSES, THEY FORGET ITS A COUNCIL ESTATE!!
• Some of the people there , are scary.
• Full of smack heads and thugs, over 50% of Whitehaven males are just thugs. There idea of a nightout ends up in kicking some poor bast**ds head in.
• underage drinking and drunk and dissorferly people working the streets.
• every 1 in whitehaven and surrounding areas are inbred morons who have no idea how 2 be civilised,if u werent born here,dont live here!living with the constant threat of violence +abuse is not something many people enjoy,all the thick neckd,aint i hard pricks should be ashamed of themselves,and thats just the women,STAY AWAY,DO NOT LIVE HERE,U WILL REGRET IT 4EVER.
• No big shopping centres Everyone know's everyone and all their business! Stupid amateur Rugby players-aka Flymo, Zan, Bruno e.t.c
• no work n police cells
• The cash drain that is the Beacon centre - nice, but not THAT nice.
• I don't understand what language you speek.
• Skateboarding trolley dolly fartknockers who think they are counter culture and write on websites like this. How can you criticise the baseball cap wearing scallies you are in the same category i.e. conforming to a stereotype. Another thing Mirehouse is a great place to live never a dull moment. Better than living a bland sterile existence like the latest batch of little Fauntleroys & Tarquins who try to look like they are living on the edge. Mammy can I leave the table now!
• The worst thing is the fucking town
• The worst thing is the fucking town
• The whole 2 hours I was there I had the overwhelming feeling I was about to be mugged. Even though it was broad-daylight on a Saturday lunchtime. I even felt the need to lock the car whilst driving through. .... and to just drive right through is the best advice I'll give.
• rip off taxi drivers.
• If you could run a power station off negativity, resentment and self-loathing, there would be no need for Sellafield to exist.
• ex's. everyone knows everyones business. or it seems that way.
• The weather tends to be shit. The market pubs. The tattooey loud women that give us ladies a bad rep!
• The park/Gallaghers/heapo's. dont be there sober if u can help it. beware of stealth moose.
• MOST GIRLS ARE PLUMP/FAT AND WEAR TOO LITTLE ON SATURDAYS. I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN IF THEY WERE SLIM.
• gobby bloody kids
• the "ere-ahy" crew. "lend us 10p for my bus fare.....ahyyyy"
• ryan scott, toby, kennet and opre of hensingham are all fucking male prossies as all they want is a shag but they never get it as they are all fucked up and scott has a swell head if any of you have noticed!!!!!!!!!!! IF ANYONE ONE WHO READS THIS TELL THE HENSINGHAM SWELL HEADS ITS FROM THE WORKINGTON GIRLS THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Roadworks and yet more roadworks, the whole town is grinding to a halt with temporary traffic lights. Awful nightlife, two clubs full of pyschos and townies, go to Workington, miles better.
• The Close Family from Frizington (Some exceptions but not many). The fat lass from Cleator Moor, Charlene whatever her name is. Takes up 3 seats on the bus.
• the multi story car park
• THAT MAN GAR HE ALWAYS WANTS 10p FOR A TIN OF DAMP START HE DOES MY HEAD IN WHEN I AM AT THE SHOPS WITH MY MAM .WHAT A STINK BOMB
• The town is really crap - thats why I don't come back. The dialect I am happy to say, I have forgotten and can't and no longer wish to understand. Added to whcich every second word that comes out of the mouths of Whitehavens inhabitants is the F word. I hated growing up there (although I never forget my roots whcich is why I am reading this website. I find it histerical and very TRUE!)but happy to say that I am enjoying such a great life in New York City, USA!!! Wake up Whitehaven people, get out while you can there's a whole new life waiting for you beyond the boundaries of Whitehaven!!!
• it is the worst thing
• Whitehaven itself.
• it never changes,the weather, workington nearby, clubs only open til 2(some are open until 4 in norway, hahaha!!!)
• Far too many students wandering around with their heads up their arses complaining how pathetic Whitehaven is and how "a big city like Manchester where i go to university at"is much better. Why don't you wise up and remember where you came from you pathetic little tossers
• The amount of rugby , i wanna show how hard i am pricks out at the weekend. Small minded and ruining an otherwise nice place to live.
• Rain. Seagulls. Fishy smell.
• Park Nightclub
• The worst ( and coolest ) thing is the dialect . As gayn yam marra , who the f-k can understand that !
• Going to work on a sunday morning (in safeway)!!!!!!!
• NIGHT CLUBS THE PARK
• The Queens Arms!!!
• EVERYONE IS OBSESSED WITH JAM!!!!! THEY EAT IT WITH ANYTHING!!!!!
• The phrase 'Everyone hates us and we don't care' did not originate in Millwall...
• The traffic discouragement measures- as someone who lives outside the town I often decide to travel the extra 4 or 5 miles to Workington, less hassle to drive round and find somewhwere to park. I wonder if any local business has suffered because of the adventures in road planning namely the 3 sets of traffic lights on the road in from Inkerman
• I lived in Whitehaven for 17 years which is basically 17 years of having the threat of a beating hang over your head.... Good years though, 80's night life there was something else!!!!
• staying too long
• Small mindedness reigns.
• It never changes.
• Small minded attitudes are unfortunately omnipotent in the town- with reluctance to change. If I said in the pub that I went shopping in Leeds for example I would get:- "why the f*** would you want to go there for- its full of Yorkshire b*******". Also many of the people are racist and bigoted. The fashion sense of the people also leaves a lot to be desired- it would be nice to see 10 people not wearing a kappa tracksuit occasionally- not likely to happen though.
• The bloody speed bumps in the town centre and down Coach Road!!
• Woodhouse was always worse than Mirehouse in my day!
• Public transport is crap - if you are going to whitehaven go in a car.. The smalltown mentality of some of the residents..
• very very very hard people indeed not enough roads out everyone has been out with everyone else at least twice
• Seagulls and pigeons
• lads!! no fit lads what so ever
• Nothing to do in the daytime really. The shops are all closing down. It was far better when i was a kid.
• The rain!
• Whitehavem is a dump. Stay away from Mirehouse area or you won't get out alive.
• The worst... I can't think of anything!
• Whitehaven is an island, cast adrift from the rest of the world, by a combination of, Lakes, mountains, and a network of totaly inadequate roads :(
• Whitehaven is a case of sexual stereotyping gone insane.
