Here's a few place in Gravesend worth a mention.
THE ROBERT POCOCK
It's the towns Wetherspoons pub and the clientele are as rough as the carpets. wino's, pikeys, and the occasional underage drinkers can all be found here. walking past the front window you can peer in and see all the old pissheads spending their giro money on cheap guest ales. On an evening (especially weekends) its filled with every type of chav. its hard to move for the sheer volume of Nickelson & Burberry tops, nasty gold jewellery (from Elizabeth Duke) & fake Moshino jeans
99p STORE
Conveniently situated opposite the kids playground in the St. Georges Centre (so the pikeys can ditch their kids before spending their benefit money), the 99p Store is filled to the brim with all kinds off useless shit including hideous plastic gnomes, Old Spice, Hear'Say Pencil cases & out of date crisps. It's an aladdins cave.
POUNDSTOP
Used to be the ONLY pound shop in Gravesend and was quite good. of course being the only one it was allways full of pikeys. now most people go to the 99p Store (see above) It was also the easiest place in town to shoplift from...
PRIMARK
Primarks Clothes are, on the whole, supprisingly nice. and its not the shop or the clothes that are crap. Its some of the people who wear them. EXAMPLE: A few weeks ago i saw an old pikey man walking down the road in his tesco-2-stripe trackie bottoms, Ador trainers, grimey Puffa jacket and a t shirt (from primark) that read "Hung like a" & had a picture of a horse. The image that entered my head will haunt me for the rest of my life....
McDONALDS
The ultimate pikey hangout! Walk past here any time, day or night and you will see some of Gravesend's most minging residents. On the benches outside are either sat gangs of pikey mum's & their screaming kids, very large groups of chavvy kids, or immigrants from various countries perving on young girls.
WOODVILLE HALLS
Gravesends sorry excuse for a theatre/civic centre. This god-awful 60's eyesore often holds under 18's "rave" nights. you aol ways know when these events are on because when you drive through town every girl you see has a skirt so high you can see her arse crack and all the boys are wearing their best Ben Sherman shirt or Hackett top.
As with all local theatres at christmas time, Woodvilles has a panto. unlike every other town, village & hamlet in the country we don't have a celebrity guest to draw the crowds. so its off to the Orchard at Dartford to see Jack Ryder or the bird who plays Tracy Beaker in their version of Cinderella. Fun.
THE PROM
Used to be a great place to play as a kid. Now the council has ruined it by shutting the Dell instead of fixing it, knocking down the toilets & the pedalo's have gone too. Haven't been there for a while but the last time i went a gang of pikies threw lumps of chalk at us. Venture there by night and you're liable to mugged or raped...
