Come to Aldershot

  • So many people have asked for me to do a video for Aldershot, having seen the 'come to Farnborough' video on the gardenspoon channel. So I had just had to make this new one. Hope you like it.
    I visit Aldershot quite often, and many of the things to be seen are quite amusing: It really is empty, and rough, with the most stupid looking cars, and a house that on the 9th August - had Christmas lights displayed! Aldershot is worse than even Farnborough.
    However, I don't really understand why so many complain about the army presence - it is a military town after-all!!!
    Also, having somewhere nearby to buy all the ingredients for curry making is just great. So stop complaining about the minorities you hypocrites! The two things that keep Aldershot in operation are the same two things that so many people seem to complain about... that's just a bit daft!
    -------------------------------------------
    Do you like violence, poverty, and the sense of doom?
    Well consider moving, to Aldershot!
    Do you like the smell of stale piss in every shop doorway, or the glimmer of discarded syringes? Sounds like Aldershot would right up your tramp-laden alley.
    Would you prefer your shops to be closed, and to find muggers and rapists hanging around where the police should be?
    Well, Aldershot is rapidly becoming a town where only Tesco can survive, and assault so common-place that it may as well be taught in the local schools. A town where the job-centre is the only building with any people in it.
    Want to boost your cholesterol levels to get a better return on your health insurance? Then move to Aldershot, where fast-food is the only food!
    Come to Aldershot...
    ...Because Martin Freeman from 'the Office' grew up here.
    Come to Aldershot...and enjoy living in a right shot-hole of a council estate, and where Christmas, isn't just for Christmas
    It's great finding the multi-storey empty on a Saturday afternoon, even if there are no shops left to warrant parking there, and that's why you'd mad not to move to Aldershot.
    Do like to moan about squaddies getting drunk and fighting; because if you do it'd make sense to move to a military town. Are you an racist that likes a curry... bingo; you've got everything you could possibly want!!
    Come to Aldershot. Now! I said come to Aldershot now! g4rdenspoon facebook page: www.facebook.co...

    The Nepalese have brought a feeling of community to the town,change is happening slowly small local businesses are starting up ,the future is hopeful

    Okay I get it and its a personal opinion made 11years ago. However if you're smart you would know MOD sold a lot of land off, there's been massive investments, and I've made good margins on property. Planning permission granted for refurbishment, from housing, town center to train station. Its one of the last towns in the South to invest in, a lot of people coming in as the over spill of Farnham, Guildford and London.
