Spent Christmas up north in a Town called Luton. Terrible tragic monolithic place. Anglian Babylon. I explored the Arnesdale Centre, it was shite. I wanted to go to Currys, but was told upon enquiry with tears in my eyes, that Currys was three miles away. Lutonians look kind of sad, bleak, devoid of life, enthusiasm and a care in the world. Why should they? Anyone who knows Luton will agree that, Luton has one of the highest unemployment rates, anywhere in Britain. It is also directly run by Labour. No surprises then..... There is also an imbalanced diversity. I felt almost foreign, I could only hear Urdu and Arabic being spoken. Sure, London is top notch for diversity. But unlike Luton, we have the balance right. Taxi is how one travels around. Buses are few and far between. So anyone without a car. Woe betide those with lots of shopping bags and claiming the dole. You see, my friend moved to Luton after getting a flat. He got it for a reasonable price.(No surprises) It is in a very exclusive estate sort of near the station itself. I left at 5.45am just to escape Luton when I had the chance. The only acets to Luton are: The Airport. The train station. The M1. But what do you think of Luton?
You obviously havent been to certain areas of the east midlands. I shant name names so as not to offend I like Luton though, simply for the fact that it was my gateway back to freedom here in this country after a year long nightmare trapped in a house in France. Odd story Still, Britain can be damn miserable
Three miles? You should have walked. That's fuck all, I used to walk more than that every day. Furthest I've ever walked was 15 miles, home from Leeds. I wasn't too bad afterwards, though I was in a bit of a mental state at the time.
haha I live in Luton and your spot on there mate, what a load of shit Luton is. Town center is full of alcoholics and unemployed people just walking around feeding peogins !!!! Think it’s a bit wrong when you say all you cud hear was Urdu and Arabic coz it’s not the case. Yes there are loads of Asians but its still mostly a 'English' populated area but VERY fastly being populated by illegal immigrants mostly from eastern Europe. As for buses it does my fooking nut in coz there are hundreds with millions of bus stops within 100 feet of each other … they stop hold up traffic move stop hold us up again ect………. Just thought I’ll get my piece in for Luton. Don’t come here people coz it’s a load of SHITE
I regularly walk 10 miles or so if I fancy it and to save a few pounds bus fare. Walking is fun, people are so lightweight these days
well at least you saw ppl on the street and heard them talking - I went to Eastbourne a while ago and it's a ghost town man, nobody on the streets or the beach, everything's shut by 5pm on Saturday ... does anyone really live there or is it just a giant film set for period dramas?
I prefer my old job in some ways, and one of the ways is the travel. It takes ten minutes for me to walk to work now, and I miss the forty minute walk I used to have to take to get home.
It's only up the road from me, funny to think of it as up North! Whilst I agree taht aesthetically it's a shithole, it has the only good shopping centre for miles around!
I'm fucking awful with geography, I had to look the place up on Google Maps before I realised how blatantly far from being anywhere near the possibility of being considered a Northern town it was.
I think it's J0rg's idea of a joke, at least I choose to think so. In fact I choose to read everything he says as a joke, makes it much more entertaining and he comes off as really rather clever that way...:tongue:
well it's to the north of London and that's what counts isn't it? Londoners are divided between those who think it's the centre of the world, and those who think it is the world.
You have just enlightened me. I feel like Luke Skywalker when old Ben Kenobi showed him the ways of The Force, and an entirely new world opened up. (it was either that or "lol rofl")
Luton is like a dog in pain. Better to take the dog out the ranch, whilst carrying a spade and a rifle and put the dog out of its misery.
Well, before you put a hurt dog out of its misery you TAKE IT TO THE VET WHAT SORT OF MONSTER ARE YOU KILLING A POOR INNOCENT DOG LIKE THAT YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED Also, it's difficult to find a spade big enough to clout an entire city over the head. Never mind the problem of burying the fucker.
