Hi dad this is where i live!
My mate at uni was living with his gf in a less than pleasant part of Hull.

on the 400m long street they lived in at the time the police had shut down several crack dens* , and the local pub had been shut down three times in as meny months for licence violations.

Now my mates gf was bringing her parents up for the first time to show them around her flat. Pulling into the road, they had to stop and park the car some distance away. as the couldent get though as two gangs of polish thugs were having a full on street battle over a fridge dumped in the middle of the road.

No sooner had they managed to sneak past the fight then her dad was propostioned. twice. by two different prostitutes. in the 50m distance from the car to the flat.

Apprently he left for home feeling a little nevry about his daughters choice in accomodation.

But in all fairness the rent was very reasonable.




*they are now student accomodation

Hull? Less than pleasant? Never
Anyhoo, I was on a repo job many years ago to pickup about 20 topend PCs that the company had neglected to pay for. In Soho (Golden Square to be precise). At night (so the staff/clients wouldn't realise the boss was a pikey).

Went for an amble to get change for the meter, and within this particular 50 yds I clocked up offers from a young gent who wished to sell me something called "gear" in a dark alley, a slightly older scruffy chap who wished me to purchase a periodical by the name of the "Big Issue", and a hospitable young lady who must have been quite cold wished me to enter her place of work and buy her a refreshing beverage.

Whipping out my trusty slide-rule, that gives me a proposition ratio a clear 10% better than Hull. So there.








God I'm bored
