most intimidating place in grt manc has to be !!!

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I used to flog ticket things years ago at kwik saves and a few other low brow shops. So i go of how many security guards they had x by the fear in their eyes, for this reason...

1, Lower Broughton (was in the bog when it got armed robbed)
2, Beswick (at any one time at least 3 tea leaves were in the shop, loads of scally's)
3, Cheetham Hill
4, GSC's basement

Edit:: Just seem bob's post. Thank fuck they took that down, fucking depressing that place was.
Most people were great though, dead nice. Badduns were proper bad though.

In the mid 80's I worked for the company that had the kiddie rides in all of the Kwik Saves.
I just used to repair them / change them around, but my dad (in his coming up to retirement days) collected the cash which shit me up every day. When he was away I'd collect the cash too, every other week from each store.

The two main shops I shat myself collecting was
1. Beswick. One of the few shops you couldn't park right outside, so you had to walk around with £100 in 10p pieces from the shop to the car park.
2. Lower Broughton Road. Just a very grim shopping parade - the ride was broken into 3 times. The store fitted a camera and it was the night staff robbing it!!

My dad did get robbed but thankfully he was in one of the shops when they did it. The money was kept in the back of the Suzuki pick up truck, in a fridge on it's side, padlocked and with a circular hole cut out where he'd drop the money. He was in the shop in Sale (parked round the side) when someone cut the lock off and took all the coins out.
Was glad when he retired.....

Beswick precinct was as good as Afganistan as far as i'm concerned. Always lots of scrotes hanging about waiting to rob you. I remember 10 years ago i went there for something or other and this gang of lads started following me, i dread to think what would have happened if i hadn't had the car close by. never went back after that. they wern't even that old, maybe 13/14 and it was daytime, but as a woman alone it was quite scary.

Worked in kwickies there when i was 17 for a couple of years. Always a nightmare when the store detective came in and caught all the shop lifters - would always go off and as a 'stock lad' you were suppose to back the manager up. F**k that he was a s**t house. Remember one day it kicked off proper on the bake bean aisle. I knew everyone around there so was always ok.
True story as well about the night staff robbing the machine - the lad in question was my neighbour he also robbed the charity dog box!

Tweedale street/Milkstone road after dark in Rochdale. Be afraid . Be very afraid.

If you're afraid of prostitutes it is.

Evening all. Wonder if I can interest you in some exciting property opportunities in an 'up and coming' area, handy for the Etihad and the city centre commute?....

Cannot believe no-one has mentioned Ordsall. I doubt any other place has a higher concentration of nasty bastards.

Honourable mentions to Clayton, Salford Shopping Precint/Pendleton, Lower Broughton and Gorton.
