There was street after street of abandoned derelict tower blocks.
Grey, freezing drizzle blew constantly and the grassless, muddy scrub that passed for parks was plagued by feral dogs and mountain bike riding crack dealers from Moss Side. It was truly fucking appalling.

I can honestly say there are parts of the South East, in fact parts of Surrey, in which I'd feel more nervous during an ill-advised late night stroll.
Nobody beats the English for random acts of senseless violence, for example.

We're famous world-wide for our prediliction for drinking and fighting.
I've actually got an amusing story that I shall tell you on Saturday about our reputation abroad. Whilst we're drinking, I mean. And probably shortly before we riot.
