Just saw that programme last night...
Scunthorpe aka 'Scunny' aka Scummy.....
What a dire looking estate that was, looks like I saw the last one but just have to catch up on it, me and Cindy just sat there sometimes laughing, mostly just disgusted at the quality of people. Remember Cindy lived before we got married in Chiswick which is a high end area in West London, she worked in Barnes with Barclays and again it was a very rich area with the main clients being film stars and so on so she had never really seen places like Hackney where I was from until she met me.
Me, I've live in some of the biggest dumps and some of the most elite places over the years but I count myself as an ordinary ex hard working working class person, I pitch in where is needed, no job was beneath me no matter what I'd done before.
When we got married we still had a great life until the house went and I became rather ill, Cindy after some very hard times stuck with me and we moved to some of the more shiity places in London and bless her she coped and made friends despite the yuppy notion forced upon her by the block locals (she's very well spoken) but got on with people and has learned to adapt to the area and just gets on like the rest of the people.
But Scunny just opened both our eye's, talk about bottom of the skip, mothers happy to lose children in place of getting drugs and when money is tight giving blow jobs to any old scum bag just to pay for the fix?
The level of intelligence was lower than a worms bollox, around her IS bad but that was bad on a new lower level..
Oh, on a new note, just found out our resident rapist is now out of nick and back living in the same flat yards from me...
I shall have to check the bushes for a bloke in a balaclava with a knife and a hard on...When I spot him I'll give Reacher a bell..
