    Kids on scramblers without adult supervision(even worst no helmets).

    Cars parked outside derelict house's.

    Cars parked outside houses which are worth more than the house.

    Actual happy children playing outside making real friends and learning how to socialise with people and not inside playing the latest game console sheltered until it's time to go to college and become a delicate snowflake and be overwhelmed and triggered by every thing in the real world

    Great thread. Lots of bitter common folk on here. I'm working class too and I'm having a great laugh at this.

    Everyone is called by a nick name and children have names like Koi, Nova, or worse, Brooklyn.

    Me too. I'm actually recognising certain traits of my neighbourhood. I even wear tracksuit bottoms. I guess I must be a skanger.

    Was out for a Sunday afternoon run in a lesser known City in the US South last year. You know you've strayed a bit too far into knackerland when you're out for a run in broad daylight and the person walking up ahead of you, when they hear you coming, starts running too!

    Chip on your shoulder much?

    Kids from all backgrounds spend too much time playing video games. In fact its kids from disadvantaged area that are more likely to be overweight.

    The local school full to the brim with facilities and extra resource teachers etc.

    In fairness I've walked/drove around and spent some time in fairly rough areas of Limerick - The likes of Moyross, the Island, Ballynanty and Hyde Road and never had hassle. Doesn't hurt that people say i look like a defective lol!

    Strangely enough some places in Dublin throw me with the amount of dissident republican stickers and posters on lampposts, never see that down here.

    On no account will you see a gang of youths gathered outside one of their own houses.

    It is essential that all gatherings take place outside a neighbours house while sitting on their car or bating a ball off it for the sake of antagonising them.

    If told to remove themselves they will become mouthy... but return after dark to pull off a mirror or a spoiler.


    Jayzus lads this is kinda cathartic, I have so many of these things that I had kinda blanked from my memory of sh1tsville

    Weird stuff in the weed riddled front garden, like a sofa and an old boiler

    Does the old boiler have a cigarette in her mouth?

    Plenty of taxpayers money usually has been spent on parks and playgrounds etc which have all been meticulously destroyed by local feral youth who's parents complain about a lack of amenities in the area.

    Any nearby areas populated by decent people have huge rates of daytime burglaries.

    Swathes of teenage trainee gangsters wandering the streets in Grey trackie bottoms with blue North face jackets, navy Nike baseball caps and white socks (one stuffed with 20's and the other stuffed with narcotics) finished off with a fetching pair of blue trainers.

    Grown men wearing tracksuits cycling around in the middle of the day on "borrowed" mountain bikes that would cost several months social welfare to buy.

    An active and well organized neighborhood watch scheme that reacts immediately anytime emergency services enter the estate by having swarms of kids attack any emergency vehicles that dare enter.

    A high percentage of young men named Lee Dean and Jordan.

    Glazers Out!

    Not really,(although I do have a awful high opinion of myself)
    Some of the comments are funny, I just don't think the comments laughing at children who don't have a choice in how or where they are brought up,
