York
Inhabited by pompous, arrogant and for the most part racist types. I had the misfortune of working there for a year. Now don't get me wrong the centre is very nice, the Minster, the Shambles etc. The rest is just the same as everywhere else i.e council estates, industrial estates blah de blah.

But for some reason the residents of York feel some kind of superiority like it the capital of Yorkshire, it isn't. Its like Harrogate the arse end of the nowhere and there is no real reason to visit, unless your a Japanese or American tourist. Overpriced shops to match the over inflated and bloated residents. In fact its kinda like Chester I guess, but without the wags.

Nuff said, the place just got on my tits and I never want to go back (I live about 15 miles from there).

You're right about it going downhill in places like Acomb
But it's all pretty relative, there's very few places I'd avoid after dark. Also it is the capital of Yorkshire...

You are right about it being a place for tourists, thankfully the prices aren't quite London-like and Leeds is only a short train journey away for a more lively night out.

Acomb's not all bad
I live in Holgate, I've lived in Aberdeen and Pontypridd as well and I can hand on heart say that the so-called 'rough' parts of York, Tang Hall, Acomb and most notably, Kingsway, are fuck all. Even Bell Farm is faintly posh.

York- it has no real rough areas. Fucking dull though.
