    Another thing I do not like is men and women thinking it's okay to wear track suit bottoms into town like how gross is that and they normally do not even fit right

    well tbf its very difficult to walk around with your hand down your jocks if your wearing chinos.

    Oh over flowing wheelie bins, left out for days.

    A dumped mattress.....broken toys and a pinched face child cycling a bike that either too small for him and is missing a tyre, so makes lots of noise as he cycles around on it.

    Bookies.

    You could count the amount of bookies in posh parts of Dublin on one hand.
    Poorer parts, they can be next door to each other.

    You stay classy, San Diego...

    Bonfires at night.

    Or during the day, black patches in the grass where bonfires were lit.

    What I'm getting from this is people in so called rough areas; like dogs, enjoy a flutter, are neighbourly, enjoy a couple of reasonably priced pints, are not mortified if their front garden doesn't look like it should be in Versailles, like to be in the sun and celebrate the coming of winter with the ancient tradition of building bonfires.

    My kind of living.

    looked in your profile. How's that pub going? I was in it for the 1994 World Cup believe it or not. Sure you can drown your sorrows there. ;)

    As always with these threads, some people just can't conceal their disdain for everyone from certain areas - you can feel the bile dripping from their "light hearted" comments. A couple of these posters have always stood out to me over the years on boards for their vile nasty attitude on previous similar threads - good to see they're consistent in their nasty attitudes.

    Prepay petrol pumps.
    Random bits of furniture in the middle of a field or road. A sofa say.

    Piles of cans or bottles left in a pile in random places .
    tv,s and fridges dumped in the street .The more house,s boarded up ,
    the worst the area is.
    Council estates have got better , when people own their own houses, they
    tend to treat them better .
    An area is bad when half the shop units are boarded up.

    Don't know if it has bern mentioned yet, too much to read through..... For me it is the amount of Christmas lights put outside the house.

    PS I believe the term working class is almost redundant now. Many who claim to be part of it have never worked an honest day in their lives

    When the taxi driver drops you at the entrance to the housing estate and no further, as was the case when scoring hash in Barrowfield, Glasgow during a dope drought in the eighties.

    A good chipper doesn't do any great harm. One of the best chippers in Cork is located slap-bang in the middle of the decidedly comfortable, quiet, middle-of-the-road, middle-of-everything, two-Heiners-and-a-gin'n'ton-ton-there-chief, birds-shitting-on-the-Jaguar-again-the-dirty-little-mingers, suburb where I myself maintain my little swamp. :D

    Anywhere with Villas or gardens in the street name.

    This thread has been great Craic to read actually. Shame the wannabe champions for the working class and "most vuldnerdable" have to turn it into a boring social science, anti middle class rant.

    When you get up in the morning to go to work/college and some geezer is knocking back 6% cider outside your door. When the only thing sweeping the streets is the skirts of some Roma woman holding ten kids in her arms. When washed clothes are hung off railings and forgotten about. When you see crack crazed wild eyed half forgotten people searching the area hopelessly for the next fix. When couples with thin plastic carrier bags full of cheap cans walk hand in hand like they are in the meadows of fresh love.

    That's serious inner city getto territory though. Not "that estate is a bit dodgy".

    I wouldn't say speed bumps, pretty common in nice parts of Dublin anyway, and don't know what you consider oversized curbs. The rest seems on point.

    Yeah not really. If there's one in Dundrum village I haven't seen it. There's none in Donnybrook. None in Blackrock or Stillorgan to my knowledge. I think Rathmines is the closest one to those areas.

    Willow park athlone

    Once took Mrs demanufactured through it for a drive (she's not from athlone)
    We got down to Meadowbrook...just as we turn the corner there's a kid of maybe 5 or 6 years old standing at a gate swinging a lump hammer..."keep drivin" he says...I couldn't stop laughing the whole way home....herself couldn't belive it.

    That's a kip of a place. A girl from school lived there when she started in AIT, not even a month there when a group of teenagers attacked her and she ended up in university hospital Galway with the threat of losing her eye. And then his family had the nerve to track her down and ask her to drop the charges.
