And this would be why I laugh when people tell me I live in the rough bit of Cambridge.

I shouldn't have been so surprised at how much I prefer living down here, should I?

ETA: Just to point out - I lived half a mile from that shop, and had friends living even closer. I'd moved to Longsight because it seemed better than Moss Side...

In spite of being a big city , Manchester is like all the towns up here and divided into little groups where everyone knows everyone else. Doubtless the killer was well known to the people he was stealing from and well aware of their routines.
In spite of such horror stories in the press all the time (and we get muggings and killings every week here in Nelson and Burnley as well)I have never seen or experienced any violence or unpleasant behaviour in nearly 8 years of living up here, and no- I dont confine myself to "nice" areas or refuse to go out after dark. Actually I usually am the one to walk my friends home in the evening as they are scared to be alone in the dark. Very strange. Life is as bad or as good as you allow it to be.
