Local high street is a scary place. Such a mix of people into all sorts. I started at one end in a good mood & ended up coming out the other pretty pissed off at the nick of certain people I passed. You know the sorts.......rings through anywhere they can hang them, stupid tatoos, & ginger hair etc. Goths/emo's (im not sure what the diff is tbh) fat slags with too many kids running riot. Junkie's. Groups teens that had a look on their face like the've never been hugged & could explode at any minute. All sorts.
Then there was the car park, every 2nd car was banged up looking terrible & full of dings, I dont usually do this but ended up double parking between a micra that looked like it had been imported from basra & a mondeo which had a few different colour panels & with what looked like poly-filler holding the back bumper on.
Got some new clothes & changed some money into egyptian shackles & came home.
Wont be going back for a while either, spent about £400 on clothes & didnt even get any discount (I did try) so pissed off even more.
People wonder why internet shopping is closing the high street.............just go & look at the state of it!!

What you needed to do was, try them on in the shop, get the correct size for the stlye of item, then internet it
Yes going into town in the day time (when everbody works) is a joke.
Well i say everybody, i mean the 3 people that work around here, the other 20,000 or pretty much as you described!

I went back to England a month ago, and it was fantastic to see normal people. Fantastic.
Walking down the street in Abu Dhabi for example, you are surrounded by bin bag donned arab women, arial white white robed males who look like angels, and the majority consisting of incredibly retarded looking Indian and Pakistani males who look like they're all fresh out of an asylum.
Walking down the street with the missus most of the time is horrendous. They all just stare with mouths open like they've never seen the opposite sex before.
I felt more of a sense of normality on Bangla Road in Phuket than I do in this place.

Go for a walk around the Bullring at the weekend in Brum. I can understand why some people don't believe in evolution looking at the scumbags who go to that place.

I thought it would be quiet because everyone would be at work or watching/appearing on jeremy kyle. It was full of scumbags.
I feared for my life a few times. One hoodie looked me up & down as I walked out the travel agent like he was going to jump me for my sheckles......very intimidating.
I got some nice clobber but think i'll be doing shopping online from now on. Unless I can find a day that the flem of the population stay in. Maybe an hour & a half window when there all collecting their gyro

My purchases for anyone that cares :
Paul & Shark Jeans.
Hugo Boss jeans.
Ralph polo shirt
Diesel T-shirt.
Evisu Jeans.
Almost got a cool SI jacket aswell but the guy told me its coming down in price so to leave it until later - that was probably the only good thing that happened.
Some of you might not like it
Well most of you actually

Possibly, however I can say 80% of the scumbags I passed were born in this country & spoke some form of english. Can you do that in most English towns??

Agreed totally 
Although, how do you think people would stereotype you getting out of your M3 wearing a shiny green stone island jacket...probably with aviators on too

Football doesnt really interest me tbh.
I loosly follow Rangers but dont go out my way to see them, had talked about going halfers on a season ticket next season with a mate just for something to do when im off. We'll see how many of their 'stars' they sell off in the summer & if its going to be worth it to start going
Im certainly no hooligan tho I just like the threads

Maverick was last seen trying to impersonate a youngster in his souped up volvo was he not? Good lad right enough.
Falkirk is a tip these days, I had to drop accounts off at the accountant a couple of weeks ago and half the shops were boarded up and there were allsorts of undesirables floating about.
