I have had no trouble here for years now.

I do feel safe although I'm not really in the thick of things anymore.

And for every 1 cunt there are 10 diamonds that would bend over backwards to help you out

Its a lot safer now than it was.

TBF, I live in the midst of a couple of dog rough areas at the minute - places with real bad reputations. But I've lived here for 10 years now, and feel safer round here than I would most other places in town.

It's just abut getting comfortable and knowing your way around, that confidence you get from that keeps you out of 95% of trouble. The other 5%'s the random stuff that everyone gets at some point

 

[Refused as fuck]

My friend lives there. It's very rough. I only go to visit him when he can provide me with a bullet proof vest

When I was on placement at the hospital for a couple of weeks they loaned me a stab vest.

Was it a forced placement? If so, was it the canvas white stab vest with the helpful long sleeves?

I lived in Walkden and Farmworth as a kid and had a well thick accent........


when we moved to Coventry afterwards no one could understand me at school !


I loves Manchester !

There are rough areas everywhere though. You need kevlar in most of London too, or so the papers would have me believe.

I live in a Northern backwater. It's pretty quiet. Fatal beatings in the local parks, people waving machetes around, town to be totally avoided on Friday and Saturday nights.

But it's not in the least bit frightening because it's home.

Ordsall? they're fucking mad there. They broke t'internet by starting a fire down a manhole in Ordsall a couple of years ago. Knocked out all the phones in Manchester

This thread has made me kind of not want to move now.

 

[Dillinger4]

You will be alright. Its kind of an in-joke to laugh about how rough Salford is, but it is not that bad. It used to be a lot worse, but it has been cleaned up a lot in the last ten years.

Honestly! I am a wimpy star trek fan and I have never had any trouble there myself.

SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE YOU SHOWER OF NORTHERN BASTARDS

 

[Epico]

Don't listen to them Rizzy, Salford is a 'land of flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles...'

 

[Refused as fuck]

All I'm saying is... get a stab vest.

 

[Rizzy]

*cries*

*decides to become a recluse*

 

[Refused as fuck]

Stop being silly. Or I'll kill ya.

 

[Rizzy]

See, you've gone overboard now.
