Sandy may be far smaller than it’s chavvy neighbour Biggleswade, with none of the essential shops for your average chav (New Look, poundstretcher), but that doesn’t stop the place from bursting at the seams with the number of chavs – just like their tracksuit bottoms.
Teen mums bulldozing flocks of kids with pushchairs, describing the latest bust-up with their man of the week at max volume and with every swearword faithfully reproduced. I had to walk past one the other day and was blinded by the sunlight glinting off her many sovereign rings. Perhaps each father gave her a “sry i noked u up” present.
Wrecked “hot” hatchbacks appear at night seemingly propelled down the high street by the blast of shit music from both open front windows and that weird blue light underneath. Maybe Shaz is down there getting yet another topup on her “glow in the dark” tan.
The main industry in the town centre seems to be nail bars, with a pub and a Budgens for all those luxury items, like soap, toothpaste and a comb.
Hair salons probably get an easy ride here, as the females of the species all adopt the council face-lift pony tail.
What a great place for a compact nuke test-firing.
Lived in Sandy for about 10 years ? used to be that if not born in the town some pubs not friendly. But 6 pubs, 4 restaurants and 3 nail bars ?
It has good connections to the A1 and line to Kings Cross, plus in open countryside on a push bike within 20 minutes if you want
At the age where not really worried about chavs
Tried biggleswade for 6 months and did not like it, def too many chavs
Sandy is a fantastic place to live.. ive lived there for years with my cats.
It has an amazing collection of shops that are always closed and high class fashion charity shops..
Don’t forget the park – amazing music is played there – we have our own band – and they march around the town to deafen old people. (Thats most of the people)
If you ever go there dont forget to try our own brand of chocolate… Milk chocolate that actually is white … surprised !
And tht chav is my nan…. so dont diss her – shes got a walking stick and a gun.
Having lived in Potton and worked in Biggleswade for over 4 years I must say how wrong you are. Biggleswade is a cultural epicenter of our nation. Ha ha, only joking, it’s a shit hole. In fact, Potton, Sandy and Biggleswade are all places that given the choice of living in a swamp made up entirely of E-coli or any of these places, I would dive head first and mouth open into the swamp. I am convinced that the entire economy is made up of plumbing. Plumbing what I don’t know, but everyone is a plumber (continuously “Currently out of work” I might add). I was constantly amazed at how many people had the option of getting pissed at 11am on a Tuesday and witnessed the sadness when the Woolworths closed causing a public outcry, as there was now limited places to shoplift from. In short, I would sooner stab my eyes out and remove all my pubic hair using nothing more than a blunt coconut husk that even consider moving to this area again!
People standing or sitting outside pubs and shops is due to the smoking ban, not some new found cosmopolitan chic. Walk down the high street any afternoon to see the tide of single mothers pushing another generation of prospective underclass criminals around in their prams. A few years at Stratton Upper, a D grade GCSE in tourism management, and straight onto the dole.
Hey Biggleswade is not a chav town, its very cosmopoliton, rated 69th most desirable place to live in the UK and voted the love capital of England with the least unemployed and least divorces rate, so get your facts right chav
Sandy is fast becoming the new Luton. And believe me that is bad. The average Sandy citizen seems to resemble a modern incarnation of Neanderthal man. As his, or even hers, knuckles drag down Sandy High street, the echoes of sweet young love can clearly be heard on a sunlit summers day .
How true, how true. Sandy really is the Village of the Damned, mostly populated by slack jawed mutants. Pikeys visiting on crime sprees from Potton probably raise the average IQ in to mid double figures. The local dialect seems to be a series of unintelligble grunts muffled by the standard issue hoodie.
