I live between 11 and 22.. and also in a more thorough survey/research, some people looked at the worst areas (not just towns as a whole) and a place called Teville Gate in my town was put down as "the worst place in England to be brought up near". It is pretty grim.

I was looking at the pictues of Jessica and Ashley and I was like what THAT CAN'T BE ASHLEY?! But indeed it was! I think she got more than just a nose job!

I'm going to scan the pics and post them.

Seriously Rizla, Stop being arrogant,i live in London after moving down from Liverpool and IMO Liverpool is safer.

But it doesnt give you the right to say to everyone in London is a "Rudeboi" If you ask most people in London about "Rudebois" they hate them.

In Liverpool you can walk around with your Ipod etc (Apart from tocky) and youll be safe, when you live in London there is always the fear of something happening.

Just stop stereotyping everyone, i mean heck, i never called you a druggie.
