Bad:
Langworthy Pub
1) Once I was in it and it was blocaded and then set on fire by the local kids
2) ‘once I was in there and a guy came in and shot the back of the bar with a shot gun (but got a free pint when he ran out)
Indian guy from motor spares shot was robbed for £40 and was shot in the knee
There was a group of 14yo girls at the time going around indescrimiatly stabbing people
The centre was being protected by some vigilante group (the ones with berets)
Good:
My electric needed a card which you chrged up at the hole in the wall in shopping centre – everyone but me went back for the weekend and didnt leave me a card – the local shop keeper (justoff nadine street) sent his young daughter and bought some vouchers for me on his card at about 10 o’clock at night
same as many place – poverty and despair breeds crime but also some people who know the importance of helping each other –
I agree that discipline and respect is degrading daily and sarted when there was nothing left to respect
Sad when this is how someone discribes my city?
Salford people are the salt of the earth, yes Salford as always had the stigma attached to it of being rough and hard and always will. I was born and grew up there around the Salford precint area but I would not change that for anything.
