Stockport County

[Scaley]

There's pound shops everywhere, tramps, litter, intimidating scrotes, a no go area after dark. The same as everywhere else in the area except Alderley edge probably. Even Ahmeds the discount clothes supplier all kids shopped at in their teens has been demolished. There's also an underbelly of society living underneath asda and what was sainsburys as its dry and next to the mersey.

Ahmed’s that’s a blast from the past! When we shopped there my mate used to take a Stolen from Ivor bag to put his Ahmed’s bag in…snobby twat!

Had my first star jumper from Ahmeds and my first pair of Tonics from Stolen from Ivor. Lekermans was a good shop bitd, Toggery also.

White lion was a great boozer especially when you were 16.
