Wow. that car at 1:28 was on mornington road near mo's bakery off chorley old for ages I completely forgot about that. used to always see it with my parents driving from queensgate back home
I always stay with my grandparents in Whitefield - off Ringley Road - and we sometimes go to Bolton to see my dad and the centre and bradshaw are perfectly nice. Even my grandparents love it.
I don't know what's worse, seeing the highlights of Bolton with the likes of the balmoral pub where it was a pound a pint, the rocket that had a stainless steel corner for the opposing darts team, it was an easy wash down corner, or that's what was said about it anyway. Do I like Bolton? Guess I do seeing as I can name 99% of the locations shown. Years in the future I'll show it to the kids and describe what it was like....
@Avalon041167 You've brought a tear to my eye! The millions of tourists who were planning their Boltonion holiday will all cancel now and flock to London instead.
I think we can all agree that the video is indeed really funny, its just a shame that some of the people who comment on it dont understand the sarcasm of it. This could be made in any town in Britain and it would look the same. Blackburn, Hull, Wigan, Boro, Blackpool, Everywhere down South... Just because Paul made this vid doesnt mean hes never seen places like Heaton, Bromley x, Egerton, Edgeworth, Hes just a funny lad with a sense of irony. The irony being hes a Blackburn Rovers fan.
I lived on the Johnson Fold estate in the early 90's for a couple of years. It was a bit scruffy and run down. I went back up there a few months ago to show my teenage kids where i used to live. It was an utter shithole. It looked like the zombie apocalypse.
@Avalon041167 I am not forgetting that Bolton has nice areas at all. It would not be funny thou if it was just pictures of Heaton Golf Club and Rivington Pike! People do make a community...couches in gardens, broken windows, smack heads, vandalism...so which community do you see in this video?
@ianuk2008 how have you come to that conclusion? I'm from Bolton and the end of the video says "it could be worse..." Very complicated stuff there for you to get your head around haha
You have just brought tears to my eyes - ones of laughter; your hometown is Manchester and you have the brass neck to take the mick out of Bolton?? I rest my case darling. Manchester is a bigger shytehole than Bolton, Blackburn and Darwen put together and yes I have lived for a time there too so I know what its like
I used to live in Heaton many years ago. Had to leave - it was frightfully common. A handful of nouveau-riche folk there, but still essentially Boltonian and, as they say, one can't polish a turd.
So you single out council estates in Bolton, lower Halliwell Rd areas. Granted those places are shyteholes but you are forgetting we have some very pleasant areas of town like Barrow Bridge, Smithills Hall, Jumbles, Rivington and not forgetting the spectacular moorland surrounding the town. You have singled out the negativeness. Remember, its people who make a community what it is
@Avalon041167 Nope my home town is Bolton (Astley Bridge) but I choose to put thje nearest large city as my hometown on TH-cam. I live in Bath now, but respect the little bit of detective work you did! Haha, keep it up Poirot!
Bolton is a fantastic place to live. Every town and city has bad stuff going on. This is just a piss take. Maybe the person who put this on here needs to look a bit closer to home. Im a proud boltonian and find this funny. Do you have a job roverspaul? Just wondering why you seem to have time doing this. Oh! of course there is the weekend.. thats how you found shifnall street, hope you had a good time, come again.
Breightmet and Tonge are both shit, the only alright bits of Bolton are Great Lever and Astley Bridge. TBH though I try to avoid going down Chorley new road, think I would rather just stay in middle class Horwich.
Ah, Bolton - the prooving ground of the skanky single mum and the hooded ne'er-do-well. I do miss it so.. If that Honda Civic is indeed the one that's been left rusting opposite the internationally-renowned tourist attraction, the Steam Museum, then I remember seeing it there at least 3 years ago! I also noticed St. Margaret's in one shot - brings a tear to my eye (dirty priest, but we won't go into that)! I think Bolton could be City of Culture. There's certainly enough hideous diseases there.
Rhianne2003 I think that you might be confused! At no point did I make fun of the disabled. In fact you are the one who picked up on the mobility scooter and differentiated him as disabled.
lets face it. This aint just Bolton. It's 95% of this country. People are loosing pride in England. Maybe because it wont be that long before the'English' are a minority here. Vid made me laugh. Nice one.
I live in Little Hulton so I think Bolton is an exotic and wonderful paradise!
I was in Farnworth today having a look round the charity shops, Bolton too
I grew up in Bolton, nothings changed then I see, lol ;-)
there's some nice parts of bolton, and there's some forgotten parts of bolton, just like in every other north-west town.
This video is outstanding. The beauty of the french lyrics set with the reality of daily life. I wish I'd done it myself. Fab.
Wow. that car at 1:28 was on mornington road near mo's bakery off chorley old for ages I completely forgot about that. used to always see it with my parents driving from queensgate back home

love the amazing artistry of the home made curtains. i want some. bolton has gone down hill faster than jack and jill
And you too, This is a Muslim town now.
I'm from Bolton, this video is an accurate representation of the town. Perhaps even a little bit nicer than it really is.
@lndac02 is the question not what have "they" done for England?
I don't know what's worse, seeing the highlights of Bolton with the likes of the balmoral pub where it was a pound a pint, the rocket that had a stainless steel corner for the opposing darts team, it was an easy wash down corner, or that's what was said about it anyway. Do I like Bolton? Guess I do seeing as I can name 99% of the locations shown. Years in the future I'll show it to the kids and describe what it was like....
excellent . it makes Burnley look fooking brilliant
My local is on 0:47. Don't go there more often though.
@roverspaul If you live in Astley bridge then why have you got pictures of Johnson fold.
pretty good, u get around. really highlights the true bolton ha ha!!
@Avalon041167 You've brought a tear to my eye! The millions of tourists who were planning their Boltonion holiday will all cancel now and flock to London instead.

1:27 is neer were i live because i past that car every time i go to morrisons
You missed out tonge fold, tonge moor,breightmet,the haulgh and too many more to mention lol.
home sweet home
as much as bolton is ruff i still love living here :D
I lived on the Johnson Fold estate in the early 90's for a couple of years. It was a bit scruffy and run down. I went back up there a few months ago to show my teenage kids where i used to live. It was an utter shithole. It looked like the zombie apocalypse.
@simplesamples haha tell me about it! I'm the same with watching "Lord of the Res Ding!!!" Keep up the no-smoking m8. Happy New Yr
@Avalon041167 I am not forgetting that Bolton has nice areas at all. It would not be funny thou if it was just pictures of Heaton Golf Club and Rivington Pike!
People do make a community...couches in gardens, broken windows, smack heads, vandalism...so which community do you see in this video?
Home of Peter Kay,Reebok and Warbys bread and it's still better than Wigan.
But still a shithole. I left 20 years ago as it was going downhill, it hasn't stopped yet
@@mickdebergerac1143 Hill? It's free falling from 33 thousand feet!
@ianuk2008 how have you come to that conclusion? I'm from Bolton and the end of the video says "it could be worse..." Very complicated stuff there for you to get your head around haha
Very true.
Bolton twinned with Chenobyl!
Breightmet isn't too bad? In comparison to the Warsaw ghetto perhaps
looks pretty
I still want to Visit Bolton.
You have just brought tears to my eyes - ones of laughter; your hometown is Manchester and you have the brass neck to take the mick out of Bolton?? I rest my case darling. Manchester is a bigger shytehole than Bolton, Blackburn and Darwen put together and yes I have lived for a time there too so I know what its like
There are really nice places to live in Bolton that not many know about, Eg egerton
Not all of Bolton is like this!
Beautiful place I live in...
Cheap shot. Nearly all towns and cities throughout the world have sights like this within their boundaries.
where's great lever ? 😂😂😂
its not that bad lol! I live in Bolton.. Johnson fold is the roughest area of Bolton though (in my opinion), Breightmet/tonge fold isnt too bad :)
Yeah, In comparison to the Warsaw Ghetto maybe.
Nah all bout great leaver
cool video !
Ahhhh......classy Bolton.
This looks a perfect place to live when comparing it to blackburn haha
i cant believe so many people actually like living in Bolton....iv lived here since i was born and i cant wait to get the fuck outta here!!!
Bolton needs a bit of makeover real bad.
omg, I live round the corner from that car at 1:30!!! lol :) it has been there for the past few years.
Is it still there?
1.01 that was the CAPTAIN outside the balmoral ....lol
I used to live in Heaton many years ago. Had to leave - it was frightfully common. A handful of nouveau-riche folk there, but still essentially Boltonian and, as they say, one can't polish a turd.
I second that!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA a good reminder about where I am from.
What's with that music ????
On behalf of my Muslim family, we love Bolton and yet that music is shit.
Amazing, a Dingle with a sense of humour!
You've just made me feel bad about my home town now 😑
*Ahhhh! Now I remember why I left my own Godforsaken hometown! And to think, I actually thought I'd miss Bolton after I left. How dumb was I?*
I wanna leave bad myself
I didnt realise Bolton was a bad place 2 live!
dont u mean scallywell
I left 1973…oh dear it was a fine town back then. It had its rougher bits but not like this.
So you single out council estates in Bolton, lower Halliwell Rd areas. Granted those places are shyteholes but you are forgetting we have some very pleasant areas of town like Barrow Bridge, Smithills Hall, Jumbles, Rivington and not forgetting the spectacular moorland surrounding the town. You have singled out the negativeness. Remember, its people who make a community what it is
@Avalon041167 Nope my home town is Bolton (Astley Bridge) but I choose to put thje nearest large city as my hometown on TH-cam. I live in Bath now, but respect the little bit of detective work you did! Haha, keep it up Poirot!
its so fun with there being lots of different surnames compared to blackburn's 6, something has to be going on eh?
yeahh you only take pics of the council estates
Ihave seen such places. I have travelled! Haha
Bolton is a fantastic place to live. Every town and city has bad stuff going on. This is just a piss take. Maybe the person who put this on here needs to look a bit closer to home. Im a proud boltonian and find this funny. Do you have a job roverspaul? Just wondering why you seem to have time doing this. Oh! of course there is the weekend.. thats how you found shifnall street, hope you had a good time, come again.

Fuck, your right. Now I wont sleep tonight!

Breightmet and Tonge are both shit, the only alright bits of Bolton are Great Lever and Astley Bridge. TBH though I try to avoid going down Chorley new road, think I would rather just stay in middle class Horwich.
Horwich Lad Westhoughton.

Great lever is a fucking mess haaa
@lndac02 agree totally
Thought you said you went to high school? Were kids go to be educated.
nowt wrong with curries and class A's, there's also a Porsche garage and a tip, i can guarantee you don't get that combination in harwood
Ah, Bolton - the prooving ground of the skanky single mum and the hooded ne'er-do-well. I do miss it so..
If that Honda Civic is indeed the one that's been left rusting opposite the internationally-renowned tourist attraction, the Steam Museum, then I remember seeing it there at least 3 years ago!

You can tell these comments are mostly written people from bolton backwaters
By the way, I love Bolton, It's just funny! And what and who is to say that I am not from one of these areas myself? Jump to conclusions will ya
Footballers live in Harwood? Maybe Heaton, but even then you're pushing it...
Rhianne2003 I think that you might be confused! At no point did I make fun of the disabled. In fact you are the one who picked up on the mobility scooter and differentiated him as disabled.
Hahaha, it is not a lie. These are/were pictures of Bolton. Deal with it.
Don’t take pics of my housE!!
This is so accurate.
Krang from the turtles
Vote UKIP . Game change on its way soon
Silly person. Bolton and the North is amazing.
