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 have some very good friends from Glasgow and spent a bit of time there. I stayed on the west side and it's pretty nice in that part of town, but my friends from there warned me about the rough spots and reminded me of of the old joke "what do you call a knife fight between two Weegies? A square go!"
