I live in Cambridge and if I've got rubbish in the car I drive to Haverhill and throw it out the window.

My reasoning is that place is a dump anyway so rather than mess up nice Cambridge it makes sense to get rid of my crap where it won't be noticed. I've been know to take a poo by the side of the road for the same reason.

I've not always been this conciencous.

If I see litter in my road I'll often pick it up, and save it for my Haverhill trip.

Very conscientious, and a policy I wholeheartedly agree with. Keep Cambridge clean.



A lot of people seem to throw their waste flowers out of the window on the way to Haverhole as well, strange people...

I guess it makes you 'cool' if you can slate Haverhill - as a London overspill it is no different to for instance Huntingdon but of course the the Oxmoor is much nicer estate than the Clements.

Cambridge of course is absolutely without fault - there's no issues in Arbury, Abbey, Ditton Fields ....never mind Chesterton.

I don't live in Haverhill although I have property there - it's no different to any other town of it's age.

Go dump your rubbish in Sawston - maybe that deserves it?

Haverhill deserves it. Between Colchester and Cambridge, there is no greater hive of scum and villainy. Any place where the Aldi is bigger than the Tesco, and the KFC/Subway has its own roundabout, tells you all you need to know about the demographic.

Another cool person!

Could I just put Braintree into the mix - neatly sits between Colchester and Cambridge and that could rival Haverhill any day for scum and villainy.

You're possibly right about the roundabout thing - Cambridge's is in Newmarket Road

Braintree is in there without question. It's a given. Cholestorol Corner...

Newmarket Road is awful. For all the reputation of Cambridge, just go to Newmarket Road, the Dittons, Mill Road, etc. That'll burst the quaint delightful ancient classical bubble. You can smell the shops that sell weed as you walk through the City.

Isn't that like arguing which is the least smelliest poo?

[iva cosworth]

Well they seem to have stopped.

Or are they duelling on the streets of Haverhill ?

I don't have time to read the other posts but surely everyone has agreed it's Haverhill

This is a surprise to me. My accountant is in Haverhill, on the few occasions I've gone there it always seemed like a pleasant little country town, where are all these monstrous estates and Chav hubs?

Colchester's worse than Braintree I reckon. Loads more fights and violent crime in Colchester, but then Braintree is seriously well policed - sometimes it seems there are more police cars than civilian ones in that place.

I'll take your Braintree, Colchester and Haverhill, and give you Clacton (including Jaywick)

oh dear Lord - Jaywick <shudder>

[vixen1700]

Is Clacton bad?

Used to love going there in the mid '70s when I was kid, always a good Sunday drive out. It always seemed so nice there, a whole world away from the down beat Southend with all the ageing Rockers and Teds converging on the seafront.

Sad really.

Clacton and Walton-on-Naze are horrendous places in my opinion, but sandwiched in between is Frinton which is a very pleasant place, an oasis in a desert of chavdom.
