ah yes, aparently up there there mainly raicist, have you read the book "The Edge" or seen "This is England"??
Guess I'm going to live in the area known as Thames Valley (Hampshire/Berkshire and around) soon as I'm finished with school over here in Germany....I have to go back to the place my dad came from, after all... Land of hope and Glory
lol Thames Valley i live in the Thames Valley but more in london technichally all of London is the Thames Valley. Hampshire is a bit posh i say
Is it? Not from what I have seen yet....Central London is posh, though...or at least bits of it. I wouldn't go and live there...4 years in Berlin was enough of big cities for me
Lol right slap bang Central London is bad, from about Hammersmith and out it gets worse until the countryside
Hmm...you just convince me to stop thinking about the slightest possibility of a move to the London Area (possibly Hounslow...).....as long as I don't go working for British Airways, that is....
Hounslow thats where i live thats a fine area, i live there many of the people are Indians and are cool, however as soon as you go into Hammersmith it gets dangerous
Oh, yeah, I have actually seen 'This is England' - good film The NE is actually not very rough or rascist at all imo - it is actually a really nice part of the country... Newcastle even got voted 3rd favourite city in the UK, which is nice... There are actually some very posh areas in the countryside and around Newcastle, and crime is quite low (hardly any gun crime at all) But then again, I think we do still have the highest teenage pregnancy rate in England!
lol yeah definatly you been to the outskirts of liverpool its hell tere
hehe lol - yeah pretty damn rough, isn't it?? NE is definitely better than NW - parts around Manchester are quite bad in places, too...
I know friends who live in Hackney. Aparently gang warfare is a part of every day life, with each gang looking out for those who attend the same school. Its wierd how such a bunch of violent yobs can be so understanding at times. Have you been to Cambridge? There's this underlying level of snobbery in everything about the city. Thats one reason why Oxford is the better uni.
