    I come home after ten - it's through town so the drunkards are the biggest navigation risk! When I worked late in my old job I went past lots of the ladies of the night...

    A few years ago I had a job at Royal Mai with a 0430 start.Several times I was chased by muggers.Fortunately I could pedal faster than they could run.The nearest one got to me was grabbing my sleeve but a slap in the face saw him off. :lol:

    That description puts me in mind of zombie movies. Are you sure they weren't zombies?

    I often passed prostitutes on my commute through Manchester via the back streets of Piccadillly.
    They'd often shout "looking for business love?" as I cycled past.

    Yeah right you crack addled bint, what am I going to do, give you a lift on the rack? Park the bike up in a dark street so we can get in the back?

    Splott is a shortening of the area's original name 'God's Plot'. Nothing could be further from the truth (no offence intended).

    Members of my stepmother's family (from the Barry area) refer to the area as Splótt (rhymes with 'go'), in a posh voice. We only ever venture in there for the car boot sale/market. There are better gems to be found at Bessemer Road, though.
