Many years ago Rotherham had a wide range of shops that created a busy bustling town centre. Sadly over the years the inability of both the Councillors and town planners have led directly to the demise of the town. For example, look what they have done in Doncaster to keep the town alive. Credit due to them. You know what they say about folk in Rotherham come voting day, stick a red rosette on a pig and they will vote for it!
Rotherham born (Lived in Wath), Now live in Donny area (Conisbrough) for 10 years, and to be honest Donny ain't that good either, but Tickhill is a nice part of donny!
LOL at all the people who are getting all proud about rotherham. You have to admit and let it go and laugh at yourself - I'm from rotherham, *rovram too and it is a dump, so stop all this "clarkson dunt know shit". When I talk about rotherham, as something to explain what it's like, I bring out the fact "rotherham has the highest rate of underage teenage pregnancy in europe"...which just about sums us up :P I like rotherham, but you have to admit there's better places to live.
Hold on ,rotherham made most of the the cannons that were used at the battle of trafalgar and nelsons navy so go away clarkson,and do a bit of research
Go back to donny , u person! And Rotherham does have it's own football team , we just play in Sheffield. And Rotherham is good when it comes to education
Rotherham is a dead s#%thole, nothing here but pubs, charity shops, chavs and illegals. If you walk through the town during the day you never see a White person then at night you don't see a sober person. I hate admitting I'm from Rotherham it doesn't even have a football team now. It's amazing that even foreign people want to come here, maybe the slums remind the of home.
@gmh6477 im from rotherham (not through choice) admitidly it isnt the nicest place and i do NOT want to spend more than a few more years here, but not everyone in rotherham is on benefits AT ALL ,my parents, anyonefrom my family or any of my friends are like the people on this video. not a single family i personaly know has EVER been on benefits. your comment applies to some and maybe most people in rotherham but NOT EVERYONE, :)
This is hilarious. I go to Rotherham College, and it's as bad as it looks. Definitely come here if you want to be assaulted by inbred retards with six fingers... on each leg.
i live in whiston n its really nice i can name at least 5 places in yorkshire alone worse than rotherham so i will here goes wakefield barnsley castleford doncaster and pontefract
haha ime from rotherham i live near central town and the bingo place is sadly shut down :p but the best part about rotherham is......the comfort i love it here its peaceful....sometimes and really homely...sometimes but always rotherham.
I'm a Rotherham lad & thought this was well funny! Any honest person from here will tell you that it is a sh*thole, drab & dead town centre with no shops of any note - but its home & I love it! Up the Millers!
i don't really think anyone should be offended by this lol, its only a joke, to make people laugh :). Clarkson's first journalist job was for the Rotherham Advertiser :)
Tickhill where Clarkson originally comes from is in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster just to clear this up once and for all to all those that aren't sure.
The unforgivable thing about Clarkson is that this Yorkshire man was once sneeringly dismissive of the Yorkshire dialect being spoken by a Rotherham resident.. Of course he now lives down south and his other home is in the Isle of Man probably to avoid paying his share of tax.
i'm also from rotherham, a great big house on moorgate road. i think this video is real funny and sums up most of rotherham. thankfully i dont live there anymore but i will always defend it. i had many happy years growing up there. i just stayed out of town in the evenings and never ventured into a park after dark. that would be fatal.
I'm from Rotherham, and he did only chose the worst part, there are some realy nice parts, I live next to Clifton Park on Gilberthorp Street, And we just got 3m to do up the park, most is done and is looking great, and that Bingo place he went in, that is just down the road from me lol, Was knoked down ready for somethng lol. There bad parts to every city/town.. so i don't think anyone could 'slag them off.
I'm originally from Rotherham and this is funny. It's no real dig at Rotherham per se as all the gags would have worked equally with pretty much any mid-sized town in the UK, especially industrial ones. Clarkson just uses Rotherham because he used to live there and he's originally from Doncaster.
It took a little time to get into its stride, but it was very funny and shows the pattern of the typical travel show for the manipulative twaddle it really is. The sound is terribly out of sync; is that fixable?
has he not visited Rotherham Sands!!!
