Washington, I feel, is best described as the metaphorical s**t on the metaphorical Rockport boot which is Sunderland. Decades of under development and closure of the local pits and industries (which served to keep the inbred hordes of charver families in confined spaces underground for extended periods of time and thus away from the minority population of respectable people) has led to a plague of Burberry-clad, acne encrusted, apelike, ugly mutants swamping this town’s various districts, the already monstrous council flats of which Washington mainly comprises soiled even more by the ubiquitous presence of a charvette’s XXL sized Sunderland AFC pregnancy wear blowing in the wind whilst hanging out to dry from the scummy verandas of these hovels.
The local youths, spilling endlessly out from the charver production line that is Washington’s laughable comprehensive schools, find endless excitement by congregating in village centres or The Galleries, a 1970s concrete monstrosity claiming to be a shopping mall but in fact is a large creche where Declans and Chantelles take their little ones, the perfect advert for contraception, to keep them occupied amongst the rows of charity shops and budget clothes and bling stores within, whilst mummy and daddy, veterans of the ante-natal clinic at age 14, meet with other like minded individuals outside the McDonald’s to discuss who-shagged-who, obviously hot gossip in this town where charver wife-swapping and subsequent pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey style random inbreeding leads to an urban population where everyone is everyone else’s cousin.
After The Galleries, our charver population proceeds to the aforementioned village centres, home to the Indian shops supplying them, practically intravenously, with their cider and alcopops. Here, should one not wish to forever have an inverted imprint of an SAFC medallion ring a feature of their eyelid, one should avoid at all costs. Whatever appeal they find in such a Charve-moot, littering the ground with burger wrappers, chewing gum, saliva and everything but the third page of every tabloid newspaper currently published, I do not know. There are obviously very important social rituals taking place here, but are, clearly, far too highly-strung and subtle for me to detect their true nature and purpose.
So, I finsish with some words of advice: when you are driving north along the A1 and make that fatal left turn onto the slip-road that delivers you nicely to the outer boundaries of Washington – marked by a signpost that has not yet been repaired since a joyrider crashed into it – yes, once you smell that odour of fast food and s**t that hangs about the town like radiation within the Hiroshima gene pool, marking the territory of the Washington Charver like a mangy, mongrel dog marks its territory by pissing against a lamp-post, make sure you are equipped with, at the least, a psychotherapist and an armed bodyguard. Or alternatively, take a weapon of some sort. Kill the charvers with it, if you wish – I will be grateful – or succumb to the hypnotically oppressive and unavoidable Burberry-patterned mentality of Washington, and kill yourself.
You f**king cock sucker I’ve lived in Washington all my life you f**king prick. Your Probably one of those cockney f**king black c**ts who stab you up for asking for the time whilst inside your f**king packi owned corner shop “init”???? Nothing but a f**ked up the arse by daddy retard.I’d love to see you on the streets of Washington you wouldn’t last a f**king minute. Your a Southern c**t who does not know s**t all about the northeast Newcastle/Gateshead/Sunderland is full of f**king smack heads and crack heads and wizz sniffing skiny little f**k ups.

If you think that your man enough reply to this and meet me in either blackfell or oxclose village You f**king retarded molested inbred mother f**king c**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA What a absolute prick you are writing such a load of s**t, you were obviously dropped on your head as a child……….Its obvious your jealous of Washington and you cant afford to live there!!
I lived in washington all my life 84 years and i now live in the more luxury housing area of washington Coach Road Estate.There are some lovely walks around washie ie princess anne park if you are very lucky you might not step in dog sh=t.I can can remember not to long ago I fell on some ice and I sh=t my pants and still some friendly young man from Concord helped me up and wiped me down,What a nice young man,I thought until I got home and relised he had nicked my wallet.If you will take my advice never live in washington.
Maybe the main author,who doesn’t share his identity I notice has found much obviously much needed therapy in letting off steam with his article about Washington. How very sorry I feel for such a narrow minded,self opinionated and I imagin VERY LONELY person. I didn’t move to Washington by my own choice, however it was my own choice to stay !
I’ve lived in Darras Hall, Ponteland, and Cleadon, all very sort after locations for Fooballers, TV celebs, and Pop Stars. I choose now to run a business in Washington and Own a property no doubt this man doesn’t know exists let alone afford.
The difference between Washingtons “inbred chavs” and residents of what one lady called “posh people” is that the people who have nothing will be the first to help !
It’s what real people call community spirit ,I hope the author remembers that he might wish he had it one day,unless of course he has a very large very healthy family, and not a care in the world.
What goes around comes around !!!
Thank God this person doesn’t live next door to me
read all this claptrap, like anywhere in this country just bring back national service (male and female)both as bad as each other.and give the population employment.this will go someway to solving the disgusting condition of the whole place not just washington
I have lived in Washington my whole life, I don’t really like the place much, but it is not all as bad as the main auther makes out. There are some very good posh places such as parts of Albany and Blackfell, I have seen over the last 15/20 years some really decent new housing estates popping up, yes there are many areas that have indeed fallen into decline. There are chavers but not as many as it’s been made to sound, there are a great many more locals who are very well decent and high class. Galleries shopping centre is actually quite good, there is a shop for your every need, though recently there have been some small time shops being closed down. do be carefull though there are a number of people mostly youths who do course trouble,
What a vile and unnacurate Description of Washington.washington became part of Sunderland borough in 1974, it was in Durham county before then.Since becoming part of Sunderland Washington had suffered from a serious lack of investment and was treated like the Poor cousin for many years.this has now changed and there are new housing developments springing up everywhere ,lots of investment and new jobs being created.The average property price is £160,000 which is around the National average.its a Great place to live,there are lots of parks and green spaces to enjoy.Ok it’s not perfect but where is.Did you know that George Washington (the first American president) was born in Washington old hall.Stick that in her pipe and smoke it.
He was born in America you w**ker.
Washington’s great grandfather was the last of his relatives to be born in England, and that was in Essex. George Washington was actually born in Virginia. A typical example of the apocryphal stories that are passed-down by the people in places like this.
Also, the national average house price is more like £250,000.
Washington has plenty of nice bits. I grew up in one of the nicer areas and it was perfectly alright. Parents still live there in fact. It isn’t a particularly exciting place and there isn’t a great deal there. The good bits (Fatfield/Mount Pleasant, bits of Rickleton, Generals Wood, Usworth etc) are perfectly respectable places to raise a family (though are very expensive – frankly you could live in a house just as nice somewhere like Gosforth in Newcastle for similar money). Then again there are some pretty nasty areas as well (Columbia, Glebe, Concord) but as with every bad area they are let down by a minority of people. Also the Galleries is awful and the schools aren’t anything amazing.
Wow you really are a piece of poison, I really feel sorry for the horrible miserable life you are leading,life’s not long enough.
I lived in Washington for 18 years.
Despite the fact that there are nice people in the Town. The majority are scum. I moved away from Washington and it was by far the best thing I’ve ever done.
next time you visit you can pop in for a cup of tea. I live in a lovely new house opposite the George Washington hotel just off stone cellar road which on the right, is loaded with houses that you probably couldn’t ever dream of affording.
Wow! you seem to really hate the place
I have lived here all my life, yeah there are a few chaver’s but where doesn’t, infact some of them are actually canny once you get to know them
If you would like to I’ll take you to some lovely places our town can offer and meet some off the nicest people over a pint or two, hopefully change your opinion of the place
I think, perhaps, that the author was dumped by someone from Washington, beacause this article smacks of sour grapes! What is a chav? Someone who is inconsiderate of others? …. then you sir are a chav!
for your information you stereotypical good for nothing piece of scum, you seem to have it all incorrect, as i live in a part of Washington in which the location is quite lovely, and for your information i happen to be related to jane seymour, if you are unfamiliar, she happens to be royalty, don’t know who she is? look it up crack whore:) how dare you mock me and my family, i dread to thnk what your house is like, “treat your neighbor as yourself”…what, do you live in the bronx? trying to make yourself seem like a better person? get a grip you absolute pathetic low-life with no purpose or dirrection. regards, Tyler Daniel Graham
Yes I too was born in Washington, and the people there were so lovely that you could go out without locking your doors!
And if inbred means that everyone you see is white…thats how we like it! Maybe thats why royalty are inbred! they know what they are doing!
The people of Washington have self respect and are honest and God fearing people with hearts of gold!
This article is totally not to be believed Washington is the best place to live!
Well what a stir this has caused.
I have lived in Washington from being 2 years old. When we moved into a brand new council house in a brand new village my parents were interviewed by the council, they wanted references from employers, they wanted to know how many children you intended having, if you wanted pets etc. You had to sign agreements to keep your gardens nice and so on. I went to a Washington school and it was ok, we got a whack if we deserved it which did teach you to show respect and do as your told and most people got good grades. I remember the hard times as Thatcher killed our nation, men in my family were devastated if they were out of work and really struggled to put food on the table. How times have changed, now if your a decent working family you are bottom of the list for a council house, we reward people who have children and don’t work with free housing, healthcare, schooling and enough cash for iphones, nike trainers and cider. Kids know teachers and police “can’t touch us like” and hence schools failing and being shut. We are now 3rd and 4th generation of these people having children who have seen nothing else, as this continues the ratio of scumbags to decent people becomes higher due to their breeding rate. So this is the Washington we have now and in every place up and down the land. To all do-gooders and softly softly politicians I hope you are happy, you have achieved what you wanted to.
