No idea why a community centre is a sign of a rough area?!

People bringing their shopping home in the trolley from the supermarket.

There's a token neglected kid no older than 3 with muck on his hands and face and a big mother ****in gooey snot that runs from his nose into his mouth hanging around outside the shops while the mother is in buying 20 John Player blue in her pj's and the auld lad is across in the local bookies on a Thursday morning.

A small, wide Jack Russell cross terrier, standing on a footpath staring at you, just daring you to say something to him.

Special Circumstances

A roaring & screeching match up and down the estate is the ideal way to blow off a little steam.
At least one party must be wearing sleepwear for full marks.

If there's an abandoned factory that catches fire on a regular basis and is filled with asbestos that has not and probably will never be dealt with.
