Lest we forget...




The alternative guide brands Kilmarnock a “post-industrial wasteland” and claims visitors should be prepared to encounter drug addicts, violence, binge-drinking and litter-strewn urban decay.

The new book, published by London-based Quercus, lists Kilmarnock as the worst place to live north of the Border.

The article states: “In 2004, the Rough Guide To Scotland described Kilmarnock as ‘shabby and depressed’. The guide noted it was ‘saddled with terrible shopping centres and a grim one-way system’. It has got worse since then.”

The book, which is expected to become a Christmas best-seller, describes the community as: “Leading the charge for our latest foray into recession.”

It states: “Once an industrial powerhouse, famed internationally for its carpets, Kilmarnock is now a post-industrial wasteland, with much of its once handsome town centre bulldozed. The main shopping drag is a grim, litter-strewn wind tunnel with nary an outlet that isn’t a pound shop or a pawnbroker. The town is ringed by a growth of dirty-grey, pebble-dashed flats of unspeakable misery.

One contributor described the community as: “A truly crap town… where heroin addicts and stabbings, as well as football violence and pound shops, are aplenty.”




Rest assured our county brethren, that we take no solace whatsoever in your current socio-economic plight. No wonder you take such exaggerated comfort from such an ordinary group of mercenary sportsmen who care little enough of your town and even less of you. God bless. You're in our prayers. X


That's why we love it.

Ayr united and killie have nothing to do with politics,religion etc ....we aint like the old firm

 The Express 15 May 2011.... 

"The political map of Scotland is a sea of SNP yellow, with only a few splashes of Labour red and, tucked away in the west, one tiny splodge of Tory blue. Ayr, the home of Robert Burns, a nationalist icon, is now the only town outside the rural Borders to have voted in a Conservative MSP"

 

For decades A*r was a Tory stronghold in Scotland until 2005 when labour took power until 2011, in fact at present your town has a Tory led council & MSP.

 

I'm sure Mathematics comment was "tongue in cheek", but since, 1nickydevlin, took offence, I thought I would educate the ignorant, unwashed few that follow the 3rd best team in A*rshire [emoji12]

 

Btw, nobody mentioned religion......
