I thought Liverpool was bad, until I went to Stoke.
Got the shit kicked out of me in Harlow, for wearing the wrong clothes, or having the wrong hair, or something. Me, about 14; them, numbering half a dozen or so, all a bit older; too old to be picking on 'weird' 14-year-olds. Not content with leaving me lying on the ground groaning, they returned before I'd tried to get up, carrying an uprooted 'For Sale' sign, and spent a little longer whacking me with it.
I sometimes ride through there, on the way out to NW Essex TT courses; early; quickly. The railway station has just had a new carpark built, so it's probably a good time to invest in property there, and live the fucking dream.
