    Ahh for the good old days
    Does this tie in with Memphis's story about getting stabbed in the neck with a chip shop fork?

    I don't go for London being massively rough. I used to live in the midlands and every weekend without fail there would be fights all over the place. I don't see it in London. Sure, I've seen it a few times, but no where near on the scale it was in the midlands.

    However, I've seen a few things down in London, shootings etc, to make me think it could be seen as rough.

    In Britain, small towns at closing time is where most of the violence happens. It's like a fucking zombie movie. seriously

    Mate last two times I been Blackpool I have been approached more than once by the smack heads, one time trying to sell me vodka which no doubt was water lol and another time asking me if I wanted to buy some Nike socks hahaha.

    Your rite mate seems to have gone to the dogs when it comes to crack heads they seem to be everywhere last couple of times i went.
