I hate Bolton

[superjohnmcginlay]

And these idiots will shortly go on to be parents. God help the kids. You want a comparison that's happened over the last fifty years, try this:

When the film "Rock around the clock appeared in the late fifties it was banned in Bolton for fear it's influence, ie teenagers going wild because of the music, would lead to problems. We saw it at the Ritz in Farnworth, who took a chance and showed it.

Frankie Laine released a record called "Answer me" and because it contained the line, "Oh my God", it was banned by the Catholic Church and the words changed to "Oh my love". Neither action had much effect and the onset of the "Teddy Boy" era began. Gang culture was born in the grand style. This died away to be replaced by Mods and Rockers, then Skinheads and Greasers, then Punks and anybody, etc etc. Now we have it all again under different names. Apart from isolated bad areas, it was always safe to go out with your wife and kids, come what may.

Weekends in town these days are a no-no for all but the young. No one caters for other age groups any more. Kids rule. When you really think about that it makes our government, laws and police activity seem ridiculous. You can't get treatment for an accident without waiting a couple of hours till all the drunken bloodbath idiots are cleared at weekends. Hospital staff get abused and threatened and the police haven't time to worry about minor things like shoplifting, car-theft, muggings and burglary. The elderly are afraid to leave their homes half the time and live in fear inside them the rest.

We've progressed a long way in fifty years.......I don't think.

Rubbish, theyve got loads of bingo places now!

I had a “I hate Bolton” experience on Sat night, albeit in Westhoughton. At the junction on cricketers way and was second in the queue. 20 or so chavs come out of the park and begin to cross. Our lights turn on green and the car in front edges to go. The chavs hesitate as does the car, so the pissed up nice people, caps balanced delicately on their heads stumble further into the road swinging their bottles. The car in front delights them by honking his horn and barging through. I tries to follow as they stand back and as I go past my car gets punched, kicked and a bottle ran down the side of it.

Not as relevant, but another scally incident. I live on a main road in Preston and these knobs decided it would be funny to snap the wing mirrors off me new car last night, I was in my living room and saw em at it, I yelled out the window, a very manly OI!

Fckers ran off rather than face me. I fkn hate scallies.

Maybe they saw Robin behind you and got frightened...

Either that or the fact that I was in my dressing gown.......

You have to leave work at work.

Had loads of loony acts whilst working as a security guard years ago:

Been bombarded with bricks from the roof of a woodyard, had a tramp throw a bottle at me that missed by a whisker and shattered all over me, had a tit on a motorbike who sat in the middle of the road and blocked my van's path (hurled abuse at me for his girlfiend's benefit when I blew the horn. Threatened what he was goin to do. I got out, took my coat off and invited him to proceed. He then went all windbag and decided he was going to sue me for threatening behaviour.....honest.

Worse instance was driving under the railway bridge on Stoneclough road. One minute I was just going quietly along, next one I had no windscreen and a housebrick in my lap. Course the bravos legged it before I even got out of the vehicle. I could go on, it's no new thing. It's getting worse all the time though. You prove what a hardcase you are these days by kicking a bus shelter to bits. The one behind Trinity Church has been renewed at least a dozen times in a year.

Incorrect. It's all sensationalised by the media. People carried weapons in earlier generations, people do now. It's just now it's a good time to "blow things out of proportion". If it was up to the media, we would never leave our houses for fear of muggers, terrorists, peadophiles or whatever is flavour of the month when it comes to "people the media hate". Just stand up to them.

Er, exactly what planet do you live on Hoolio? Don't you read the current threads? One time you could "stand up" to the biggest and get it over with. Now, you take on minimum half-a-dozen. I've actually lived through it, not read about it in the media. No man ( apart from a few psychos) from my generation would ever knock shit out of a woman or beat up a pensioner. I used to walk home from everywhere as a teen and twenty, and yes, I've been in a few scraps, but the emphasis was on "few" and nearly always one-to-one. The rule should be based around the meek and the weak, they are always the targets for today's "heroes". They have the right to be safe, not live in terror from dickheads on "bravery"pills and "respect juice". "Incorrect" exactly describes you own post mate.
