They should do a 'The Only Way is Mission Bay', wouldn't be that different.

I don't miss:

Gobby jobless overweight people
Hoards of Mobocarts
Theiving Smackheads
Chavs/Hoodies/Scallies
Brainless single mothers
Council estate scrubbers
Litter
The dole culture
Britains underclass
Throw away society

I can't wait to get away from all that!
They really do go to Asda in their pyjamas. There's actually a sign in Asda saying that customers will be turned away if they turn up in them!

Apparently there's going to be a TOWIE style show filmed in Harpurhey (the most deprived part of Manchester). I used to go shopping there because there's a large market and variety of shops but I just can't bear to go there now.

Oh and Zara's dad used to live round the corner from there just before he moved to NZ.

I watched TOWIE to see what all the fuss was about, still confused as it was rubbish!
I have to confess I'm enjoying Geordie shore tho.

Yep

Scruffy barefooted mouth breathers dominate most Pak n Saves, mainly shouting, pointing at meat and eating pick and mix.

This is supposed to be a thread about what we don't miss from the uk so don't bring in Pak and save and stuff again!!!!

We don't have Vicky pollard types and foul mouthed blokes in track suits do we
