Once a lovely village in Cheshire, Partington, located on the outskirts of Manchester, had the potential to be a great family town.
Surrounded by miles of fields and meadows, it’s hard to believe when roaming the local countryside what actually lies a few yards down the road.
Partington is split into three estates, the worst being the Oak Rd estate (this was built to house the inner Manchester overspill) where the ever-common teenage mothers and (if actually present) alcy fathers roam the streets creating something which looks like a real life Resident Evil. Seen as every house has either been bricked or is vacant, the window cleaner has now decided that doing his round with a sander would probably be more beneficial.
The only pub in Partington where you don’t have to be a member is situated on Oak Road; The Redbrook (nicknamed The ‘Dead’brook) offers chav style lagers such as Eingerbrau (might be spelt wrong) at competitive prices, so not to waste their entire giro in one night. The pub also offers live entertainment every evening, which usually involves two pissed up twats mastering the art of how to cut off someone’s arm (this has happened on several occasions, and one chap had his arm blew off at point blank range with a shotgun). Pubs and takeaways have been forced to shut, due to local drug lords being insulted for no reason at all.
Those who actually decided to earn an honest living can be found at the local paintworks, where Im certain most of them only work there as the wretched stench is almost certain to give you a free high if you inhale enough.
Fighting has now evolved in the town and as stated previously, all the local scally shits now roam the street with knives, congregating in and around their nova’s and corsa’s outside the bargain booze, with one chap riding up and down the street on a mini motorbike or a quad. You pray that someone will ‘accidentally’ fail to hit their brake when these dickheads weave in and out of traffic in an attempt to ‘woo’ their underage chavettes. Needless to say, they succeed at every opportunity.
The graffiti in the local centre is highly amusing, as the local scallies inform the community of their spelling capabilities. Passages such as ‘Partington Soliders’ can be seen scrawled all over the shopping centre.
As the town is situated in the middle of nowhere, getting out of the place is a nightmare. You have three buses, the 252, 255 and the 247, all of which stink of piss with seat’s torn and thrown on the floor. I don’t blame the local bus services for not replacing these, as there is no point what so ever, it would just be a total waste of money and im sure they don’t value the little service the council is prepared to offer.
Listening to the chavette’s on the bus is hilarious, I remember one saying ‘I’m too young to have a baby, I want to wait until im at least 19!!’
The 247 buses give scallies the opportunity to visit other bargain boozes in the Trafford area, and they regularly arrange full-scale daytrips to a little town called Flixton. The 247 bus is therefore responsible for a whole new breed of chavs, and they can now be sighted legging it down the street followed by angry Bargain Booze staff attempting to retrieve the two three litre bottles of cider stolen just minutes earlier. Infact, the chavs of Flixton are a completely new species, crossbred and mutated if you like. Living on a diet of “diddlies”, washed down nicely with the perfect compliment of White Lightning or Diamond White, but if they fail to find a granny worth mugging, bong water does suffice. The chavs of Flixton are a true mutation of society and are sure to evolve into a demonic form should they be given the chance.
It wouldn’t surprise me if these local modern day Bethlehem’s were to be twinned with towns such as Beirut, Basra and Baghdad. A complete shit hole and I feel sorry for the small percentage of honest working citizens being condemned to the reputation that goes with living there.
What makes me laugh most about this scrawled piece of crap is how the ‘writer’ insults the spelling of the chavs, when I can point out a piece of poor grammar, bad spelling etc every couple of lines.
Do you even live in Partington? I’ve lived here all my life and although I’d like to move out, I find that most of the time the community is very close-knit and rather like a family. Everybody knows each other here.
EVERY single village, town and city in the world is going to have problems – problem areas, problem people. The only reason Partington is massively insulted for it is because it’s so small! When one thing does happen, everyone finds out quickly and it gets blown out of proportion.
I don’t care how old this ‘blog’ is anyway – just stumbled upon it and thought I’d comment.
i lived in wood lane in 1970 opposite the flats..i have nothing but fond memories of being a little boy playing happily in the back garden ..
100% correct on Partington, it’s a shit hole end of story! Most breed and drag their kids up but enjoy the ‘benefits’ But it wasn’t like that until the overspill from Salford arrived many moons ago. Very similar to Whalley Range, once an expensive, well to do community until it was invested with chavs.
Flixton is far from what you say and you obviously haven’t had the money to live there! I’ve lived here for 25 years and never come across anything like you say, as one poster said Woodsend is rough around the edges but still not as bad as Partington!
Well said!
What a load of evil rubbish about Partington. I have lived here for almost 50 years and although it is not perfect it is not as bad as it has been painted. Over the years it has improved and it is still improving. I would now class it as one of the better areas of Greater Manchester. One big point in its favour is that within minutes you can be out in the wonderful Cheshire countryside. To those who list so many bad things about Partington I say — “on yer bike” If you don’t like it move out the air will be much sweeter without you.
I love this post, and I can’t help but laugh at some of the responses. The spelling and grammar kind of proves your point! A friend of mine lives in party-town (partington) and whenever I drive through, all I can see is teenage mum’s and chavs. I worry about leaving my car outside his house (which was confirmed one time when my windscreen wipers went missing!) and can’t wait to “get the hell outta Dodge” ASAP. What a shite hole!
me and my chums from alderley edge dont think either partington or flixton warranta comment we drove thro there one nite in our shogun throwing eggs at them one of the creatures said cheers i will have it for me breakfast ! haha.
I Was born on chapel lane and now i live in new zealand. still not far enough away from partington. just put barb wire around it and keep all the scum in there.
Disagree 100%
How dare you state that people all people in Partington are scums.
Ive lived there since childhood and don’t regret one bit,
Even though you don’t live here anymore, you’ll always have Partington apart of you,
why slag it off?
i would love to meet who ever wrote this. As it seems there hiding behind this website to say what they want to. I bet u wouldnt say that to a lad from partington. people round there are not fighters unless theres are dickhead like you asking for it!!!!
I bet u never even been round there for one or u live in a place just the same. unless u live in bowden or hale!!!! which i think nowadays u will still find covered in graffiti and kids with cider.
Dont feel sorry for those living there were all fine and im sure if it was that bad they would leave. we dont want ur sympathy, its you a feel sorry for, for being soooooo single minded. Also there is three pubs in partington, i noticed u chose the shittest one (the deadbrook) to put in your lowdown!!!
people round partington are in reality thats what it is and one day u will meet someone from there who will bring u right back down with them!!!!
Flixton is not a mutation of society !!!
I don’t even know what ‘diddies’ are!
Not everyone that lives here are chavs but obviously you haven’t seen the whole of Flixton.
Since when has a granny ever been robbed in Flixton hmm???
Get a life and stop making things up on the internet, IDIOTTTTT
What a load of rubbish this really is, obviously designed just to wind people up. Unlike the inbred that wrote all this twaddle, we in Flixton are one of the few areas that speaks the real English not Manc & it is a posh suburban area on the borders of Cheshire, used to be Cheshire at the end of the mile road before border changes. Partington, was, at one time a bit of a problem area, but now, seems to be better & a new shopping area promised, people who I know that live there are great.
not all of partington is that bad, i am 13 and have lived in partington all my life ,, i admit partington has its down sides but i have seen worse . over the last phew years partington has cleaned up, most of the “villans” are locked up . and my pairants earn an honest living as manigers of seperate companys , and webber 1 , u are wrong i bet there a many more chavs in the shit whole u must come from .
I came accross this page by accident, searching for info about the 247 bus changing it’s route, ANYWAY i just had to comment!
What have you got against Flixton ? Flixton is not a shit hole
it’s quite posh, maybe you’re just jealous! Okay woodsend is a bit rough around the edges but it’s still quite nice.
Partington has it’s problems and there are people as you describe that do live there… BUT sadly chavs like that are everywhere these days. Not everyone that lives there is a chav, there are good and decent people living there too!
Also, what’s wrong with having a baby at 19, technically you are an adult? There are some parents at 30 that are rubbish parents. I know younger than 19 is probably a bit too young… but we are designed to have babies young when we are fit, and some young mums are great mums!
Basically mate, you’re a prick and you’re life aint that great if you spend your time thinking in detail about how rubbish you find partington. If your lifes so great surely you’d have somethin better to do !
Amazing response,
Agree 100%
I have lived in Partington for over 24 years and i agree that yes you do see this kind of thing, but not as often as this column makes it out to be. 6 out of 7 days a week you don’t hear anything at all or see any of this going on. I actually know some of the ‘kids’ you refer to and unless you know them, don’t judge them as harshly as that. They do not all belong in that boat and it is so unfair to speak about a collection of people so rudely. Yes Partington needs fixing up but seeing as the council has promised this since i was around 10 years old and has done absolutely sweet FA, why should the whole place be treated respectfully, no one else gives it a chance, why should the residents? I do wonder though, where does the author of this column live? Barbados, The Caribbean? Somewhere on Mars where there is no trouble anywhere at any time? No, didn’t think so! Get off your high horse – this happens everywhere! Not just Partington! I lived in Lewisham in London and i can tell you it is worse than Partingon. Even if it is this bad – if you don’t live there, keep your opinions to yourself!
partington wants burying and flagging over
yo listen u lil muppets stop ruunin ya mouth bowt pton O.R.C run this town n no 1 can fuk so wot if we r thugz n hooligans were badboyz 4 life
haha toy town gangsters!
Ha ha, Party-town gangster!
im a teenager and live in partington and near oak road, i dont know how people can say this is accurate but its far from it. Im in a high school and managed to achieve head prefect and other special roles within young peoples society. Try living down here and you will finally find out for youselves rather than discriminating. as you say about the 255 and 252 and also the 247 i dont know where you got that from. With the standards rising with the new sports village just been built we peobably have more people coming to partington to use these facilties and so how do unacceptable comments fit into the partington society today. Im 16 years of age and i cant believe i am argueing with the typical people on this site but i think a younger person opinion can be acceptedand peoples minds changed. please take a day down and maybe your mind opinions may just change.
THIS IS ACE
This is an excellent and very accurate description of Partington. Luckily for me I managed to escape some time ago but unfortunately my mother still lives there so I am still a regular visitor.
Flixton part was posted by a friend…
And your insults are just typical, why not read everything thorough… Its not about the hard working citizens, just the dickheads who robbed my cousins, mates, smashed my windows and my mates windows etc.
I feel after suffering the effects of the wankers boredom, I have a right to post my thoughts.
u dont half chat shit i liv in partington n it ait as bad as u say it is….liv on oakroad u jelous u aint got a motorbike , nova , corsa or out.. u see kids like us in them and think :O i want 1 but its tuff go and buy 1 instead of cryin ta wer ya hear this stuff anyway a little birdy tell ya wen ya was pissed or summit
As if anyone would be jealous of some twats thinking they are “the shit” riding around on 20mph mopeds.
