Posted May 29, 2007 Haha, you forgot Liverpool on your list. Every major city in the country has it's shit holes, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 I know, but it's just not somewhere you associate with crime is it? Dreaming spires and all that. Whereas places like Nottingham, Hull, Manchester etc. are absolute fucking shitholes in every possible way and you fully expect them to be in lists like this. Woo, go Oxford. Maybe we can get to number 1 in one league table at least (can't even win the bloody conference). I think it's down to a combination of daffy public school educated students clogging up the city and bastard chavvy thieves from the outlying estates such as Barton (so bad the buses refused to go there) taking advantage of them. Oxford also has a massive crack and heroin problem, so that probably bumps us up quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2007 Oxford up there because there's a bunch of rich idiots that don't know anything about home security. Also if burglary counts as stealing bicycles - I can see why its so high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2007 Hull's a nice place, and deffo getting better. They're pouring money into the new developments. I'm sure Mr Dare will agree that it doesn't really deserve its bad reputation.. I lived in Hull for a year last year and I don't think it deserves the reputation it has. Though I did live in the city centre which I thought was pretty nice as far as city centres go. The only trouble I had in Hull was a 10 year old scally aggressively asking for 20p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 30, 2007 Endsleigh are the major insurerer for students. Look at the list and they are all university cities Cambridge and oxford are only on there because of the bike thefts and the fact people still bother to get insurance. These statistics are the crime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2007 There's shit parts of Liverpool, but there's shit parts in every city. And on the whole, Liverpool is a fantastic place. After all, it is the European Capital of Culture. The nightlife is brilliant I should add, I was there recently and had a couple of amazing nights out. But we're digressing from the topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
