Guest on crappy estate I do sympathise, but it is not the case on all estates. But the one in my town is as you describe. The police patrol in pairs. The postmen deliver in pairs. The cabs won't pick up from there. The delivery takeaawys won't deliver there. The mail order companies won't do business with people who live there. The health visitors visit in pairs.

Having that particular estate as your address marks you with many companies as not worth dealing with. I don't know the solution sorry.
