edit: this was supposed to be a question. Mistakenly writing as a statement has changed the meaning somewhat (and probably incorrectly).

I went to Harrigate recently. Just thought we'd visit en route to somewhere else. Did I go to the wrong Hartigate? Parked at the Conference Centre walked up to town and it was in the poor side of Meh. perks.thesun.co.uk/

Certainly on the cusp of council. Area round the bus station was rank and I was surprised to see professional drinkers of the Lowe orders outside one particular bar:
Not a nice place.

The problem with Harrogate(and this is from someone who has lived here most of his life), is that people generally have a hightened sense of self esteem and have to emit this 'I'm wealthier than you' attitude, when in realty they aren't, there are bars where pretentiousness is of the highest order, with crass displays of wealth, whilst in the real world they are financed to the eyeballs on an Audi Diesel and live in a 1 bed flat.

On the back of this, they treat Harrogate like it's the epicentre of wealth and sophistiction due to the small percentage that actually are wealthy, which, it is not, we have large council estates, Starbeck area is a dive and the council capital round here and there is a large Weatherspoons filled with day-drinkers.
It does have plus points though, very little crime, great restaurants, oodles of nice cars about, plenty of petrolheads for some reason and 5 minutes outside of Harrogate you can be onto some fantastic and quiet roads.

We've got friends in Harrogate and the above is absolutely bang on! The place and the people who live there irritate me deeply; the thing is that they sort almost look down on us (we live in Rossendale - countryside every bit as nice) and the whole life they lead is so label driven it's beyond belief. On the other hand I laugh my head off at what they end up paying for tradesmen to do work on the house because a. they would never lower themselves to do it b. they wouldn't be able to c. the stuck up way they deal with them. I call it the "Harrogate tax". It costs multiples of what I'd pay.
Have we had "All Inclusive Holidays" on here yet? Grim council s
t from start to finish. Nothing says "I just want to get burnt pink and guzzle lager and eat chips" more than these. Why bother actually making an effort and discovering something about the local culture of the place you're visiting when you can lie around on your sunbed swilling sticky cocktails made with ethanol and horsemeat burgers for dinner. Grim Grim Grim.

We go on all inclusive holidays but spend time away from the hotel eating at local places ETC - what's wrong with that? I'm going to have to disagree with you, the holidays themselves aren't council, but going on one and not eating anywhere else or discovering the local area ETC definitely is.t from start to finish.
