Harold Hill latest
You get much more with Recorder 24
a live radio show on Capital FM was bombarded with insults on Harold Hill last week, when people were invited to phone in with comments about the area.
The Richard Bacon Go Home show, on Capital FM on Thursday, October 13, attracted a surprising barrage of criticism from some 30 listeners living in and around the area.
During each show, Richard gives a brief weather report about one area of London. He talked about the climate in Harold Hill, but added he was unsure where it was, and asked listeners if they could help?
This kick-started the flood of negative comments.
Remarks, which were telephoned and texted in between 4pm to 7pm, included concerns about the town's derelict appearance and high crime rates, and ranged from the sarcastic to downright negative.
One person complained it was full of "old cars with no wheels", while another woman listener advised people to "never leave your car unattended there".
Another person sarcastically called the area "a hidden gem" and "picturesque", and that The Pompadours pub, in Hilldene Avenue, was "one of the loveliest pubs ever".
Other unflattering descriptions of the 'Hill included "scary" and "a karzy".
Only one person insisted Harold Hill was "not a dump".
Over the years, the area, with its lack of high street shops, has generally been portrayed as an undesirable place to live.
