feel safe...?

[NorthernRaider]

Every weekend in our younger days my Wife and I would go night clubbing from Wigan Casino to Martines in Chichester to The Fiesta in Norton to Cinderalla Rockerfellas in Leeds to the Princess in Newcastle. Not once, NOT ONCE did I fear for our safety, not even a passing qualm it simply never crossed our minds that we could be in danger that continued right up to around the mid 90s.

Now I would not visit such places or go into London or Brum after dark unless I was armed.

They say street crime is less well back in the 70s as the nightclubs chucked out you may find one or two plods loitering near the Taxi rank to ensure we did not fight over cabs. Now at that exact same place in the shadows near the hotel you will see large groups of Asian men lurking, the police park up by the van full an Ambulance is normally on standby near the town hall and you see cop cars racing from job to job. Go to my wifes works hospital and by the middle of the night A & E looks like a war zone with cops and security trying to keep the peace as the mdics stitch the idiots wounds. And the police tll us the streets are safer BOLLOCKS.
