Knowhere Guide to the U.K. collects all these remarks posted by residents and visitors about different towns. You get the real lowdown. I love it when they trash the joint. For example:
You would have to pay me to live in Crawley, I would never buy a property in this area. Crawley has a very poor image with those individuals from outside the town who are needing to move into the area, mainly because of company relocation moves and employment at Gatwick Airport. Many of these clients that visit our estate agents are reppelled by the crime and attitudes presented by many of Crawleys resisdents.
crawley is hell. We are in eternal damnation, buffy lives on the hellmouth - dat aint nothing,we live in hell. maybe it's not that bad now but as i look around i can see it deteiorating to that level. i can't wait to leave.
i am an ex resident and i would nver want to go back there, i think the best way of portraying crawley would be to say that it would be the perfect place to film Buffy the vampire slayer as it truely is the gateway to hell.
Crawley may suck in sone ways but it is a great place, we need to over come those snobs in Horsham though :-)
The local trash newspaper Crawley news ran a story on this website on the date 20/6/01 and they were furious because they said this website is slagging the town off.Even the mayor moaned too and said this place was great. But they are all wrong because this place is a tip. and if you are a tourist, Please please please don't come here!!!!! you would do yrself a big favour because this cesspool of a town is not even worth a look.And the residents are very cold and unwelcoming... Try bognor regis instead!
