    Hands down pants.
    Gangs of lads walking down the street like the opening credits of the Monkees tv show, only with their hands down their pants.

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

    The local boozer has mesh covering the windows.
    Walls have broken glass and razor wire resting on top of them.
    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.

    Bus stops without glass.

    Outside voice for indoors arguments, although indoors arguments are to be avoided if possible.
    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.

    Shell-suit tracksuits and lads with 'Love' and 'Hat' tattooed on their fingers. They've lost one, obviously.

    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.
