General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

i do teach my kids respect, but i cant keep them locked up, and the people round here dont know what respect means unless u are in their 'clan'.i know people who drink tea out of jams jars cos they cant afford cups, i also know people that rich they have their initials woven into their extremely large hallway carpet....and i know if my kids were not on a council estate like this, more would be on offer to them.

example 1: i have been a barmaid for 9 years when i go for a job all is well until i say i live in Plattbridge!!

example 2: we saw a house for rent so i enquired...had to give my name and address...was told sorry its just been took!...so i got my sis to phone 20 mins later...she give her address which is shevington, can you make a 3 o'clock appointment was the reply!!!!

I was in care with people from all backgrounds so i know drug users and theives dont just come from council estates but i also know u can get ahead better if you dont come off a council estate.
