I was very nearly stood at the bus stop by Barclays when the bomb went off, had the missus and I not had a row we might have been all over the town centre
I seen guns, bombs, soldiers IRA men, bodies etc. on an almost daily basis. Lost family and friends in the damn "troubles" Came to England in 99 and can't believe these bloody marches are still allowed to take place and incite the crowds to riot, every single time. ARRRGGGHH!

compared to what it was, very much so
dead high street, massively over priced houses, all the character gone. Despite the high street being mainly poundstretcher and empty shops I think its still the most expensive place to live outside London
