FIGHTS are commonplace in Leigh and many residents suffer with 'snobbery' - or so one damning critic claims.

The not-so-kind review of Leigh has been posted on satirical website I Live Here which ranks the worst places to live in the UK.

It has seen more than 125,681 people vote on the rankings.

Although Leigh has avoided being named in the top 50 worst places, it hasn't made it through completely unscathed.

In fact, one rather critical reviewer has even described it as a "bucket of p***".

They say there is a 'weird kind of snobbery' among residents who see themselves as better than others in the district.

The reviewer also claims women in the town spend their time move from "nail shop to hair boutique to over-priced tat shop" because they have "nothing much else to do".

And even the roads in Leigh take a hammering, with the narrow streets and lack of parking apparently leading to a "haven of aggression on the roads, with BMWs and 4x4s all vying for supremacy".

The critic clearly didn't enjoy a night out in Leigh as they saved their harshest comments for the town's nightlife.

They said: "The main pastime at night is looking for people ‘who aren’t from Leigh’, in order to look down their powdered noses at them.

"Fights are commonplace, and the over-bearing atmosphere is one of joyless faux-snobbery.

"After 1am, local cab drivers prefer to avoid Leigh, due to the possibility of violence or being verbally abused for not being from Leigh.

"It is truly a horror, and, as someone from one of the ‘lesser’ areas you would not get me to live there for anything.

"So Leigh then: it thinks it’s a glass of champagne, when really it’s a bucket of p***."

Safe to say, we don't think this reviewer will be coming back anytime soon.....
