I spent a year here – http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8432856.stm Red Road Flats – 26th floor. It was a very drunken tear.

i was born in wood green london, ,moved to bermondsey and then to enfield 🙂

Lived in Dalston Hackney on the murder mile for 6 year's,shootings every other wk!Got mugged at a cash point at 3am at knife point!

quite a few shooting when i lived in bosnia for two years. There was a war going on to be fair to the place 🙂

I have been realy lucky and never lived in a bad place, just places I did not like

I live in Belfast

I was born in Stoke,not exactly tinsel town ,but not in the same league as Hackney and worked on Green lane's Haringey where the Turks and Kurd's fought running battle's over drug turf's,2 shot in one day!

lived on a nice little estate in wakefield for the 1st 26 years of my life.
lupset.
had a 12 month holiday at 16 at a place called kirk levington, that was a pretty rough place.

Did most of my growing up in Leigh Park. Pretty rough.

**** scary place at 16 mate.

Your'e probly right mate. I work in a nick as you probably already know. i could NOT do time though, enjoy my freedom too much!
Imagine what HMP Wakey or Frankland are like!

i have a cousin who works at wakefield, and his brother at hull.
i get told some terrible stuff about the residents.
just glad that i wised up.
short sharp shock certainly worked for me. 8)

Never lived anywhere that I would call rough (but loads of folk have never lived on a council estate and think they are all rough by definition). Its all about what you are used to I suppose. I dont like where I live ie the Midlands as ther are so many other nicer places in the Country and with easier access to great riding.

i also lived in two very rough areas in brussels too and they were holes lol. Where i live now is meant to be bad but i think its alright

Middlesbrough. I win.

9 months in Bosnia…

Once found a young woman in the street, naked, badly beaten and had both her feet cut off, you could see where she had crawled into the street from the house and bled out.

To cut a very long story short, found a beautiful little girl 8-10yo half buried in a collasped building, one hand holding onto a young boy (her older brother) other hand trying to put her stomach back in, she died shortly after in total agony. One of 23 who died that day.

Dozens of other events that I think about daily…It was as close to hell as I ever want to get.

Flamethrower

Johannesburg was a bit interesting……..

Lived in the Dam for 6 month's too! "interesting"

Say no more sparky that's enough to give me nightmare's!

Lived with my wife for two years!

Lived with her and her father for the last 6 months whilst the divorce finalised.

That beats a lot!

Huyton, Liverpool.

DrRSwank…thanks for that, never had 12yo single malt come out of my nose before 😆

I'm from Kirkby in Liverpool. Don't live there now. Think it beats FoxyChicks' Huyton! 😉

2 years in Kensington whilst at uni. Unfortunately that's Kensington Liverpool not Kensington London!

I grew up in Brixton in the 70's and early 80's it was a thriving multicultural melting pot with a vibrant diverse culture.

A shithole in other words.

brought up in fallowfield, manchester also lived in Wavertree in Liverpool for a while whilst my girlfriend, now wife was at uni.

Outskirts of London town. Glad to get away.

Chappletown in Leeds was an interesting place to live for a year in the early 90's 🙂

Bosnia in the early 90's was a bit of a kip
Rawanda was pretty crap in 1994..
Angola was Shite in 1995..

To be fair, we only moved to the UK, beacuse Pretoria was going downhill. Fast.

Chelsea SW3, still get me down.

Arlesey.

Rawtenstall!

what makes me laugh is how, when you tell someone where you are from, the say'oh, thats a bit rough'
and when you come from the place, it isn't rough at all.
i like going back to my mum's and my root's.
going in the old pub's i used to go in and seeing old familiar face.
some good old memories.

Lived in Harehills for a few years, got used to the police helicopter after a while!

Like a good rough pub.

Lived in Wythemshawe, interesting rough and Wheately Hill in Peaterlee, depribed rough. Sorry if this upsets anyone.

Had a friend in Wheatley hill, the council had condemmed his front room. It was propped up with jacks, had been for two years.

Stockton-on-tees

Nuff said

I lived on the lower end of Ashley Hill, edge of St Pauls in Bristol in the 80's, well within earshot of the st Pauls riots. Ugly noise!

Also lived in a house in Redlunn which had heroin dealers on the first floor, and came back from a week away to find someone had been stabbed 49 times in the attic room!

I lived in a small Hampshire town for three years. Three murders in that time – one a contract killing! Who'd have thought it.
