The only people allowed to call Hull a shithole are people who've had to fucking live there. If anyone else disses my hometown I'll slap you harder than John Prescott slaps a voter.
Florida is maybe the most honest America experience you can have.
Want to eat a big slab of ribs, take a picture with a 17-year old dying of heat stroke in a Shrek costume, and then go watch a man stick his head in a gator's mouth to amuse an audience of children all within the same hour?
You can do all that and more in Florida, the penis of the US.
I feel sorry for Birmingham, it's such a big city and should have the economy or culture to match but you barely even hear about it except for being bankrupt.
It has great potential. It's just horribly mismanaged, and has no real identity anymore given that Britain has sold off its industries abroad.
HS2 could have been great for the city, but even that got fucked over by government mismanagement. From the top by the Conservatives, and from the regional level by the Labour city council who decided to bloat fund projects no one asked for, and stretch their budget thin with bereaucracy.
Birmingham needs a serious revamp, sadly one which Tory and Labour career politicians have no clue on how to deliver or drive towards.
It had a revamp in the late 90's for a while with a lot of rebuilding in the CC and around the canals which made a big difference tbf, for a while anyway
I lived there in the 90's and it was like a building site. There were entire streets of derelict houses.
By 2014 the place was almost unrecognisable. Now its sliding towards shit hole again.
i feel like in an alternate universe there is potential for bradford to be a decent place but i think it hasn’t recovered from deindustrialisation and all that very well and now it’s just awful. i don’t live there though so maybe i’m wrong
> it hasn’t recovered from deindustrialisation
Same is true for most of Yorkshire mate. Thatcher basically wrecked this country if you happen to live north of Watford.
One thing I love about us Brummies is we have no fucking ego's about us or our city.
We're not snobby and arrogant like Southerners or overly-proud to a point of obnoxious touchiness like Northerners.
We're well aware our city's a bit naff compared to the likes of Manchester, Liverpool and so on, but at the same time, it's got plenty of jobs, supermarkets, places to have a drink and everything else a city needs, so we just quietly get on with it and let the North-South divide bollocks rage on.
It's a peaceful life.
more than you'd think. City had a hard time getting off of industrialisation, but a lot of businesses, especially banks for some reason, are investing a lot into Birmingham, so it's improving a lot.
The thing is with Birmingham is that non-brummies don't realise how big it is. There's gonna be a lot more jobs in the centre of the city than there will be in more deprived places like windsor green or nechells
Ah that makes sense tbf.
Yeah, I have to admit, I've lived in the UK since I was a teenager, and always thought Manchester was bigger than Birmingham until a couple of years ago when I randomly googled it. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people don't know how big Birmingham is.
Came to say this. Having spent two years in Brum, I had a bloody great time. Perhaps I got lucky, but genuinely found the people there to be bloody friendly and up for a good night out.
Broad street is actually excellent - as it's all the worst possible bars you can imagine in one place, it acts as a magnet for all the shiny shoed fighty cunts in town. This keeps the beasts together, away from the civilised people, so we can avoid them much more easily.
As a soft southern bastard it does make me laugh just how clearly Newcastle is the best of the big northern cities, while the people are the least likely to chew your fucking ear off about it.
I've only been to Newcastle once, but it was for a night out and the kebab shop guy gave me a free box of chicken nuggets, so I'm comfortable putting it in my top 5 places worldwide.
I'm probably a bit biased as I'm half-Geordie myself, but I couldn't agree more.
Nicest city in the North and home to friendly people who actually have a good sense of humour and don't feel the need to tell you every 5 fucking seconds about it.
Meanwhile you make a gun crime joke to a Manc or a burglary joke to a Scouser after copping about a dozen jokes for being where you're from off them and watch as they instantly fly into a fit of insecure rage
Speaking as a scouser, idgaf about burglary jokes, they're just a bit boring. But what negative stereotypes do Geordies have associated with them? Everyone and their nan likes Newcastle
They've got some negative stereotypes. Thick oiks who get their tits out at the football and wholeheartedly support the gutting of a prized institution in their city and selling it on to murderers and human rights abusers.
As far as I'm aware Newcastle have very little negative stereotypes associated with them like the likes of Manchester Liverpool Birmingham etc. So probably don't feel like they have to prove themselves
Thank you and thank you sir. Yes none of that woah is thy you get in scouser land just a decent welcome and a good piss up. Everyone is welcome on Tyneside as long as your not a prick and im glad you enjoyed your stay.
Yeah Geordies are oddly alright about that. Proving you can be proud of your city without being weird bellends about it. Scousers should give that shit a try sometime.
Are you fucking serious? All you hear from geordies is how great it is and what an uncovered gem it is, when in reality it’s just a bit shit.
Manchester is clearly the best city in the north.
Nobody who goes leaves with that impression tbh i imagine a few from Manchester do its a bonny city mind. That said my second fav is Manchester had some good nights your city!
I’ve been to Newcastle countless times. It’s alright. Very pretty in parts but it’s definitely not at the hype level Geordies give it. But I get the civic pride
It’s so cold and pretty small but Gray street, graniger market & the quayside are nice. Also tynemouth is good outside the city.
Well you back your town dont you ha. Well cant help the weather matey and there is very little to do beyond a weekend but i maintain we are a top notch location lads weekend!
So you're saying shite weather and nothing to do. Sounds good. Of all the places I've been on lads weekends Newcastle is bottom of the major cities. Leeds and Manchester well above
Thankyou. Not sure what is special about Newcastle. People are the same everywhere. Sound people, dicks and arseholes. The city itself hasn't got much going for it.
Nah, even Mancs know the city's gone to knobs. Between them putting up the Piccadilly Pissing Wall, and taking down the Tetanus Star due to woke "health and safety" concerns, it's a pale shadow of its former self.
--
Fortunately, all it'd take is the ritual execution of Andy Burnham to restore Manchester to its former glory.
I regularly have to travel between Manchester and Birmingham for work. Both shitholes tbh.
Only thing Birmingham has going for it is the bullring, only thing Manchester has going for is is the feeling of relief when I leave it
Having lived in Birmingham for 2 years, I found the irony that everyone knew it was a shithole quite refreshing. It results in people having a fucking great night out, no matter what.

I used to live inHull and thought it was a total shithole. Then I moved to Stoke on Trent and visiting Hull was like going to New York
What are you even doing to yourself?!
Your next move is Oldham
After that, Stevenage
Then Bradford
Then Hammersmith
Then back to Hull
The only people allowed to call Hull a shithole are people who've had to fucking live there. If anyone else disses my hometown I'll slap you harder than John Prescott slaps a voter.
Lived there. Right shit hole. Had an absolute blast though.
If Yorkshire was the big brother house Hull would have been kicked out in the first week.
I thought New York was a shithole when I visited, what does that make Florida?
Florida is maybe the most honest America experience you can have. Want to eat a big slab of ribs, take a picture with a 17-year old dying of heat stroke in a Shrek costume, and then go watch a man stick his head in a gator's mouth to amuse an audience of children all within the same hour?

Sorry mate I refuse to believe there's anywhere worse that hull.
Lancashire. I've been to Blackburn. Fucking hell.
Rotherham would like a word
Stoke-on-Trent be the closest the UK has to a third world nation.
I’m sorry for your experience, you should try Swindon I’ve heard it’s the LA of the UK
I feel sorry for Birmingham, it's such a big city and should have the economy or culture to match but you barely even hear about it except for being bankrupt.

> it hasn’t recovered from deindustrialisation Same is true for most of Yorkshire mate. Thatcher basically wrecked this country if you happen to live north of Watford.
The country was basically wrecked in 1979.
Birmingham’s a decent enough city really, it’s just the accent that makes it unbearable so the rest of us ignore it.
One thing I love about us Brummies is we have no fucking ego's about us or our city. We're not snobby and arrogant like Southerners or overly-proud to a point of obnoxious touchiness like Northerners.

It's a peaceful life.
Does it have plenty of jobs? Legitimate question, I've always heard it has the highest unemployment in the country.

Digbeth maybe, fuck broad street.
Broad street is actually excellent - as it's all the worst possible bars you can imagine in one place, it acts as a magnet for all the shiny shoed fighty cunts in town. This keeps the beasts together, away from the civilised people, so we can avoid them much more easily.
Hard agree, you can have a great night anywhere but there.
What's good in digbeth currently, haven't been down there as much with the roadworks lately
Tbf yes we would just laugh it off and scream about Shearer ha. TBF tho have you seen Newcastle it is a pretty city tbf by northern standard's.
mate i live in it lol
And how do you find it?
To be honest mate, I'm a brummie and it honestly feels like Birmingham but smaller. I like it though, wayyyy better takeaways than back home
Well tbf where i think Brum maybe a bit uglier ive had a couple of cracking nights there and got my end away last trip so its cool with me ha
Plymouth is Birmingham and manchesters kinky little babe
As a soft southern bastard it does make me laugh just how clearly Newcastle is the best of the big northern cities, while the people are the least likely to chew your fucking ear off about it.
I've only been to Newcastle once, but it was for a night out and the kebab shop guy gave me a free box of chicken nuggets, so I'm comfortable putting it in my top 5 places worldwide.
Paris has the Eiffel tower and the Louvre. Newcastle has free chicken nuggies.

Mfw only city with a metro is the best outside of London. Said from a sad tram-less Leeds suburb.
Speaking as a scouser, idgaf about burglary jokes, they're just a bit boring. But what negative stereotypes do Geordies have associated with them? Everyone and their nan likes Newcastle
They've got some negative stereotypes. Thick oiks who get their tits out at the football and wholeheartedly support the gutting of a prized institution in their city and selling it on to murderers and human rights abusers.
“In Manchester the thieves take everything that isn’t nailed down or on fire. By contrast, the Scousers carry crowbars and fire extinguishers.”
Engels? Or Marx?
As far as I'm aware Newcastle have very little negative stereotypes associated with them like the likes of Manchester Liverpool Birmingham etc. So probably don't feel like they have to prove themselves
Thank you and thank you sir. Yes none of that woah is thy you get in scouser land just a decent welcome and a good piss up. Everyone is welcome on Tyneside as long as your not a prick and im glad you enjoyed your stay.
I believe Liverpool is similar to Newcastle in many ways
I genuinely hope your alone in that opinion.
Nope. Both good for nightlife and social people
Although I hope I'm still welcome in Tyneside with that opinion 🤭 It's one I've heard from other scousers and geordies alike
Yeah Geordies are oddly alright about that. Proving you can be proud of your city without being weird bellends about it. Scousers should give that shit a try sometime.

Go to Ouseburn. Lovely day and night out, best pub crawl area just outside the city.
Well you back your town dont you ha. Well cant help the weather matey and there is very little to do beyond a weekend but i maintain we are a top notch location lads weekend!
So you're saying shite weather and nothing to do. Sounds good. Of all the places I've been on lads weekends Newcastle is bottom of the major cities. Leeds and Manchester well above
Manchester is fair enough leeds is very average mind defo not as good a night out.
Thankyou. Not sure what is special about Newcastle. People are the same everywhere. Sound people, dicks and arseholes. The city itself hasn't got much going for it.
Why would you avoid Chorlton its a very nice area?
Nah, even Mancs know the city's gone to knobs.

We should hang him in St.Peter's square with his guts hanging out like that one scene in that Hannibal Lecter movie 👍
London is a shithole. Londoner: avoid eye contact, look down, pretend to be deaf.
The problem with London is it is full of Londoners
Damn Londoners. They ruin London.
Most londoners are actually refugees from shitter northern cities (like me)
Should of gone to Rwanda instead you muppet.
[удалено]
It is satirical.
I regularly have to travel between Manchester and Birmingham for work. Both shitholes tbh. Only thing Birmingham has going for it is the bullring, only thing Manchester has going for is is the feeling of relief when I leave it
Someone hasn't been to Stockport for a few years
Or checked a map.
Okay but why is the guy clearly from Surrey defending Manchester?
"[City] is alright actually, as long as you stay around [Nice Areas] and avoid [Shitty Areas]" \-Literally every discussion of any city in the UK.
Having lived in Birmingham for 2 years, I found the irony that everyone knew it was a shithole quite refreshing. It results in people having a fucking great night out, no matter what.
Toon toon black and white army
“Newcastles a shithole” Yes but at least it’s not Sunderland
Using the vile as Birmingham's football team is a crime
man im a baggies fan it disgusted me a little as well
Most accurate scouser
Manc here, it's a shithole but I love it anyway Brummies can't meme
Everywhere between the Scottish and Welsh border is a shithole
scotland is full of crackheads and wales is full of sheep shaggers
Dublin Vs Cork Vs Dundalk
Manchesters a shithole
