If you don't like it, move. Or better yet, find others like yourself and clean up your neighborhood.

(Now, there's the remark that got Al Capp into trouble back in the late 1960s.)

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.

Just because you live on an estate doesn't mean you have to live like animals.

I don't have a problem with 'estate dwellers' I have a problem with estate scumbags!

Blaming poverty for their lack of decency is no excuse.

So you don't see yourself like the rest of us white trash, then?

Estate dwellers are Estate dwellers normally because of their economic station in life.

You got loads of money and connections, an that, then?

Move to the suburbs then

where the corner shop owners live...

Yes i agree, but as you just illustrated, in better areas the types of crime differ, insurance claims, tax fraud, etc, which does harm directly others.

of course better areas have their share of crime, but nothing on the scale of estate life. You could blame it on poverty, but there are plenty of jobs these lads of age late teens early 20's to 30 could get. Laziness

Did it never cross your mind that your estate may not be half as bad as the pit that i live in?

The lads and lasses around here are not middle-class dropouts, they were born into this way of life, which leads me to somewhat symapathize, but on the other hand you lose sympathy when they smash your car because they think by having a car you are trying to be 'better' than them, and when they beat an old woman to death because she told them to 'f*** off' after she caught them breaking into her shed, and when you hear constant stories of incest, you really do lose sympathy.

I'm not hateful, but i feel i may be justified in my attitude!

Estate
Its the majority that don't fit your description NOT the minority. You seem to forget about people who live in better areas, there is also a minority there who steal, fiddle insurance claims, do work without paying tax (cash in hand) etc etc……it is the minority in both cases that cause concern.

I would be offended if I thought you had any sense or understanding. I was born in a slum. When I moved, as a child to an estate we thought it was the greatest thing in the world. Ok, times have changed, but I still live on an estate albeit in a different town. The vast majority are honest hardworking people, as am I. The peercentage who take hard drugs and throw needles about is very small and a fair number of the drug takers are middle class dropouts who seem to think, like you, that it doesn't matter what they do when they come down here to buy their drugs as we're only schemies and our surroundings don't matter. They can't take their needles hame in case Mummy finds them. Since you don't like the people take your prejudices and hateful attitude back to where you feel comfortable. Or are you the kind of scum that has nowhere else to go.

Yes i live on an estate, but i wasn't born into this type of area.

Yes there are a minority who don't fit that mould, but if we constantly make excuses for the trash on these estates because of the few good apples then no-one will ever act to sort these social misfits.

That's one hell of a generalisation GUEST, and most likely insupportable.

You say you live on an estate. Do you fit the profile you gave of estate dwellers? My guess is No!

Look around and you'll find plenty of others on your estate who are not from that mould either.

A small number of indolent, violent, noisy people can establish a presence out of all proportion to their numbers.

Inspired by the Chav thread. I wondered....

Estate-folk! They live on welfare, they breed like rabbits, (not good specimen rabbits either) they live on the fuel of drugs, they never work, they litter always, they destroy anything nice on their estates, (such as bus shelters) they throw needles to the ground, they drink themselves into an orgy every evening to complete their wasteful unproductive days, they look like CHAVS, they smell, they are mostly illiterate, they steal, they engage in crime on an hourly basis,they hand around the estate shopping centres with nothing better to do but drink themselves silly...but mostly, mostly, they like the way they LIVE?

Question: DO YOU AGREE?
