Iv been in some holes, an cork don’t even come close, I grew up on the most poverty stricken place in uk, but the folk were bang on, an it was same in a lot of the shit holes I been to, where’s some the nicer areas I lived in or been to are about as friendly as a satanic ritual ffs always go for the local folk rather than the area when judging a place

I grew up on the most poverty stricken place in uk     where was that mate,?  i grew up  in W-ton  in the 50s  , none of us lot on the  counsel  estate  had much,  roof over our heads , some thing to eat , thats about it . W-ton a city now, but its spot the white man the thing today and if they am white they dont speak English , glad i left place when i did 40 year ago .

Was possil park at one point bird, bang smack in Glasgow city an too say it was one first places in U.K. to have a heroin epidemic is a understatement, it’s a well known place among a lot of jocks that know Glasgow, but like I said some the folk are most friendly folk you ever meet, until you crossed them, an there’s loads areas like that across the U.K., cork is one friendliest places I ever been, felt right at home there on our flying visit the folk couldn’t have helped more

Billy Connolly , always said Glasgow  was great place , but by fook   easy to get you face turned inside/out   if you looked or said the wrong thing more so if you was English  lol.

I thought Cork was ok tbh, Hull not as bad as Goole which is nearby. Merthyr/Tredegar pretty grim, all of these visits were over 20 years back, feck knows what they're like now?

Cheers, D.

Growing up we genuinely had to watch out for the new drug war as smack took over, then there was the young lads out slashing each other in gang wars, an then believe it or not there was also a religious mini war going on among catholic’s an Protestants, or Celtic an rangers fans as most know em, don’t get me wrong they wasn’t all jumping about killing each other 24/7 but it was real easy to get caught in wrong street with wrong colours on, or walking into a group a drunk neds or get caught up in the battles over drugs, it’s not as bad now but still a dodgy place, I’d never raise my kids there tho, sack that

I was watching one of those true UK crime programmes about some nutter called Gerbil from Glasgow who supposedly went round power sanding off his rivals nips to get their drugs/money lol
