Question from an American - what are considered the roughest areas in Britain?

[BIG H]

I am from Glasgow and it gets a bad rep some times. Many parts of it deserve the name but it's a good City to visit for museums and parks and the nightlife is good in the centre.

Go to a housing estate at you own peril though, as someone said it's stab happy. I have had friends involved in some real nsty shit and my cousin was killed a few years back in a stabbing incident because he had an argument about someone switching channels on the TV in the pub

I have been chased by people with knives and hammers and axes , was all a bit mental growing up at times. I used to watch running battles with gangs from my Grans 4th floor window at weekends.

I tend to not notice things in other cities at times becasue I got a bit immune to it , can be a bit dangerous as I tend to take things for granted and don't take much shit from local upstarts

I've never been to Galsgow, but it scares the sh1t out of me When I was at school we had a lad move into town that was from Easter house, he was an absolute loon lol

Bet he was mate, that's the next estate across from where lived, got picked up by the cops one night and they took me to the station in Easterhouse, told me it was more fun letting me walk home than taking me inside to charge me. That was a long night walking in the shadows to avoid being seen !!
