Kettering
Even sounds like the diseased bum hole it is.

- Chavs? Check.
- Tesco's murdered the high-street to a point where Charity shops now number 1 in 2 and cash converters, Kebab shops and temp employement agencies fill the gaps? Check.

But the thing that will forever sum up Ket'rin for me was the exchange I overheard between a ratfaced, tracksuit wearing teenage girl being bundled out of the shopping centre by a policewoman for shoplifting (I suppose);
PC: "I know you Lucy, you're not like this - why you pretending to be such a Chav"?
Girl: "You can't just become a Chav - you have to be born into it"!

And that was said with such pride.

The only thing that makes Kettering look good is Corby.

*shudder*

Couldn't have said it better myself but, you're right, at least it's not corby. Plus, corby doesn't have 'the benny hill man' and we have decidedly less chavs than corby. Best bit about corby... no, I can't think of anything either.

Grew up in Wellingborough, and now live in Brighton. I think I've gone up in the world! :)

The only thing that made Kettering good was Elvis guy but I haven't seen him in ages. I presume he's dead :(

And you pronounced it wrong, its Keh'rin

im suprised there is so many people from kettering here. if you're into alternative music then come down sawyers on montagu street sometime and have a pint. i work the bar.

and too right, tesco's has killed everything. everyone shops in corby at the moment and we're stuck with the charity shops, phone shops, kebab houses and estate agents. wonderful.

turd
Me too. I love sawyers. Good ale.

Corby, since the new shopping centre, proof that you can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.
