Yate
Yate is near Bristol, and suffers terribly from edge-of-city syndrome - it has nothing of any real note socially speaking, because everyone goes into bristol for nights out etc, meaning that the teens who cannot afford this hang around on street corners drinking cider, fighting and mating. The best Yate has to offer is a branch of Rileys, the pool-and-drunken-chavfights chain.

To clarify my opinions on Yate, you have to understand that i was born in Bridgwater, and even i think Yate is a shithole...

The town as a whole is spectacularly like the greenroom of an episode of Jeremy Kyle. Once while acquiring lunch, a colleague of mine (we work in nearby Chipping Sodbury, which is pleasant in a posh-but-deliverance kind of way) overheard one of the local females telling another

"ere, 'is cock was so big i was gonna stop and text you!"

Funny, but
didn't Russell Howard make that joke first?

EDIT - I lived in Horfield for a year. Surely Yate couldn't be as bad?

My nan lives there
I, personally, think it's shitter than Swindon. At least Swindon town centre can kind of look nice on a hot summer's day.
