Actually shit things: in 6 words

We realise that some places actually ARE shit in Leicester. This annually updated section summarises the top things that are best avoided in Leicester.

Traffic Lights
Abundant. More red lights than Amsterdam.

Turtle Bay
Carribean food as imagined by Mick Hucknall.

Black Cabs
Protesting to drive like dicks. Avoid.

The Terrace Bar
Fake tan palace. Powerful twat magnet.

Dominic Shellard

Shopping for a Queens's honour. Boring Tweeter.

Leicester Print Workshop
Over-subsidised by public. Overpriced for people.
