Does anyone know what is going on near the BPS petrol station on Laid Street? Police everywhere and the road is closed, people standing in the street and police helicopter?
Someone told me that in the flats (by the North Star) a bloke was holding his girlfriend hostage and had turned on the gas and threatened to blow themselves up. Also told that a tear gas had been shot through the window by the police. May just be exaggerated
As in any area a few bad apples in the barrel would make you think the rest of the apples are bad. I live in the Northend and count quite a few there as decent and honest friends.
hear hear, RedLance and derekdwc, I have lived in the North End all my life and quite frankly, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. OK, it has its occasional "incidents" but show me a place that doesn't.

I always feel threatened when there to be honest, there's a not nice vibe about the place and all the tracksuits are very intimidating. This is from the point of view of a older person who grew up in a rural area though.
seriously though I was brought up on Beaufort Rd right next to supposedly one of the worst streets in England, Tees St, and must admit it is nowhere near as bad as people make out.
Lived all over the world and UK and came back to the North End to retire. Mostly good folks with the odd bad ass. Oops! the same as everywhere else, no better no worse.

I was brought up in Tees Street, lived there for almost 40 years in fact, and for most part, they were some of the nicest neighbours you could ever meet. I'd probably still be living there now if the Council hadn't decided to pull it down in 1994.
What have track suits got to do with anything? Lmao
at least it is tracksuits and not walking round in pyjama's and onesies like round here of Peel Avenue estate. Girl pushing pram went into chip shop today with her kids all where in their pyjamas at dinner time in public ll
