Wick And One Wicker's Journey To Civilisation.

[daytripping]

I've read plenty people slagging Wick off for being a shithole so just to balance things out I thought I'd start a topic on all the nice and good things about Wick.

 

Fire away folks, lets make Wick a place people want to visit on their holidays.

 

I'll start by mentioning Wick has a beautiful river flowing through it, it's called the river Wick.

 

Till I googled I never realised how far up the map the place was, I never knew life existed past Inverness to be honest.

it has the worlds shortest street.

It was named after the Shamen song, E's are good.

[Bluto10]

always one to stand up for those less fortunate than your good self daytripping.

thats a damn rare thing these days.

 

 

 

wick, and its hinterland, is nnot the worst place in the world to be fair.

but probably the worst in western europe

[StandFree1982]

Wick is actually two places, a bit like Andy Goram.

 

If you have a walk alongside the sea, you might see a Puffin.

Chances are you'd drown first.

In a survey by a leading University Wick came 3rd out of 30 schools when it came to free school meals, scoring 15.6%, both ahead of the Highland average of 9.6%, and the Scottish average of 12.7%.

 

Means Wick has loads of poor people, I like poor people.

[daytripping]

Wick has 3 harbours, the Outer Harbour, the Inner Harbour, and the River Harbour.

 

It also has 2 boats.

if you remove the c from wick, it will spell wik and still sound the same

[daytripping]

The part of the candle that you burn was named after Wick.

Trying to defend Wick is like trying to defend the Third Reich.

 

A truly horrible little shanty village filled with inbreds and huns.

where the people are so inbred they have no hair in the gene pool

[daytripping]

I wonder if Tups kids get free school meals.

 

no shame in it at all though If I was headmaster I'd make the freebie kids wear fluorescent bibs just so the others can spot them easily.

What's got one i and smells of piss?

 

Wick.

[daytripping]

Wick rhymes with Pick and dick and rick and snick and sick and lick and kick.

 

I think that's all unless ick is a word.

[Foster14]

Tick.

Wick has an airport though many of the residents like Tup are scared to fly.

[Bluto10]

your average wick resident can trace back his lineage to the days of the picts, vikings and barbarians who lived convivially in local blackhouses

[tup]

No my kids dinna get free school meals ffs

 

Wick is OK but I'm not certain I'll be hanging around much longer.

 

Same as any other town in the north really, you should visit daytripping, I'd make sure you were given red carpet treatment in several places despite your scepticism.

[Bluto10]

in the wick the monetary stsyem prevelant in the developed worlsd has been replaced by a bartering systm between local townsfolk.

[daytripping]

Bluto, Imagine if cultured gents like us turned up in Wick, I wonder what the locals would think. It would be akin to us seeing aliens land.

[Sheep#1]

Does it have a Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys or Morrisons?

 

My guess would be a Co-op.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Far inferior to Thurso

I doubt any of the local hostelries stock Belgian wheat beer, so it's a no from Bloots.

Wick Fact #1

the most common form of transport in wick is the penny farthing

[Bluto10]

Wick Fact #2

only two distinct familes make up the towns 10k+ population.

[Bluto10]

Having been to and got blootered up in Wick my guess is you would get your teeth smashed out your mouth by some large offshore scaffolder and be found crying for mummy.

 

you, you mean?

 

doubt it CP. Ive torn up bigger and badder places than sleepy old wick in my time and never been found wanting.
