so it was,saw my 1st one in Daddylonglegs club as the cov rd first started from digbeth and then the speakeasy next to the golden gloves on the moseley rd
Blimey - that takes me back. Back in 1977 or 1978 I was involved in negotiation of the compulsory purchase of that place. The agent for the owners told me in all seriousness that if I didn't offer him at least twice what the property and business was worth, he would be beaten up on the owners' instructions by Bunny Johnson who was at the time British light heavyweight champion and trained at the Golden Gloves. The owners' agent didn't know that Bunny Johnson was training when I inspected and measured the premises. He was such a nice bloke that I never had a moment of worry about the health and well-being of the idiot negotiating on behalf of the Club. |

Confirmation that our Capital is the roughest place in the country. Why does Westminster appear so much there? I thought that was a 'nicer' part of London? Going there in a few days as well FFS

That list is primarily a list of 'where a lot of people are'.
Lots of shoplifting, public order offences I would imagine. Not necessarily rough. |

Godalming can be pretty nasty.
Was in a restaurant there recently and someone was kicking off over them not making gluten free bread available. |

just about everywhere in the UK is rough / chavvy/ crime ridden /drug addled /broken - maybe a handful of nice towns if you're lucky in the south west of England . Countryside is generally still OK thankfully
can't understand why anyone would come here on a holiday - where do they go ?  |

By:
The Ryelands Estate, in Lancaster. The law won't enter the estate, unless their mob handed. Runner up would be the Church Estate, in Accrington.

Marble Arch - tripping over romanians who are on their way to the ATM machines, begging or sleeping in between. (and that is just me ho ho)

One or two gems down here too: 28) Supermarket, Taunton, Somerset, TA2 7JW - 37 That would be the Co-Op on the Priorswood estate. And the Coral's three or four doors along, with its disturbing blue lighting in the WC. Luckily the block of flats next door features a stairwell for the use of customers needing to shoot up or urinate. |

was working renovating a house in hackney in summer in the late 80s ,first day there asked one of the other workers where the nearest betting shop was as wanted to put a bet on ,he said well theres one about a quarter of a mile away but you dont want to go there really , whys that i said ? well its a bit rough round there he said ,just tell us how to get there i live in deptford its rough there cant be any worse than that ,he looked a bit doubtfull but told me the directions ,me and a mate walked to the shop went past some nice old victorian houses seemed quiet and decent ,heard some music in the distance didnt pay much attention to it followed the music and it led us to the street where the bookies was ,turned into the street and fook me it looked as though we had been transported to the bronx in new york full of menacing looking jamaican rastas gangster pimps types etc most of them made mike tyson look like a quiorboy within 4 yards of turning into the street we was offered every drug know to man , when we said we were not here to buy drugs we were jostled and asked if we were police fook me it was like running the gauntlet,there were big hi -fi speakers on the pavement outside some of the houses and reggae or rap music was booming out and not another white face in sight, to say we stood out like sore thumbs would be an understatenet to be honest i would have been more comfortable wearing a millwall kit in the west ham end ,cars were pulling up and drugs and cash were being exchanged openly on the street , heads down and muttering under my breath fook this for a game of soldiers we headed on to the bookies for sanctury ,just as we aproached the shop a crazy rasta in just shorts and a cloth bag around his waist stopped in front of us dancing to the beat of the music and pulling out of the bag all sorts of drugs telling us the prices and dancing like a man possesed,looked like he had only 3 big teeth in his head one at the front and one at each side looked like he had a 3 pin plug in his gob ! anyway opened the shop door and caught a backdraft of cannabis fumes fook me it looked as though the shop was on fire thick smoke ! every one inside had a joint on on hindsight you didnt need to buy any weed off the dealers to get high, just stand in the shop for a few mins would have done the trick ! the shop was like a fooking asylum ! races were on the screens and the shouting and swearing was in full flow ,a race was nearing the finish and one jamaican was extreamly animated and was whacking his arse with a rolled up newspaper and shouting at the top of his voice in the jamaican brouge BEN FOOK HIM NOW ! BEN FOOK HIM NOW !AND RIDING OUT A FINISH USING THE ROLLED UP PAPER AS A WHIP!
i can laugh now but at the time it was very intimidating , the poor b,stard of a shop manager and staff must have been paid danger money to work there ! wrote the bet out nervously and hurried to the counter to get the fook out of this hell hole of a place ,do you want a price said the guy behind the counter ! ffs fook the price i just want to get out of there ! got out of the shop and headed the opposite way back up the street didnt want to run the gauntlet again ,as we were heading up the street a police van shot past us ,it waS NOT A NORMAL POLICE VAN THIS FOOKER HAD MESH GRILLS ON EVERY WINDOW AND WAS MORE LIKE AN ARMOUED CAR THEY USED IN IRELAND AT THE TIME ,IT NEVER STOPPED IT LOOKED LIKE THE OLD BILL DIDNT WANT TO PARTY WITH THE LOCALS either ,that was on a quiet weekday ,fook knows what it was like on a weekend when they really let their hair down !1! 1 |
