It seriously isn't as bad as you say is it?! I'm up there a lot, in both day and night and the most I have had it some 15 year old boy asking me to 'take off my fucking bag and give it to him or else he would stab me'

I said 'I'll take the latter, I TRIPLE dare you to pull a knife on me fella...'

He soon, after making various 'gangster' proposals about getting his 'crew' to come finish me, fucked off.

I want to move down there to start my stand-up comedy career properly, there isn't enough comedy clubs down this way...

It can't be as bad as you make it out to be can it? I'm up there more often than not and never had much trouble, 'what ends you from?'

It's pretty bad around Hoxton. The older idiots are fine - i dont mind them shooting and stabbing each other - gives me something to watch on friday nights, but the amount of idiot kids running around with guns - they dont know what they're doing, and they cant be trusted at all. They're just dangerous.

Put it this way - we play on red cloth at my local snooker club - the blood has taken the green away.

Then again, im talking about the piss poor estates near me, and all the back alleys you get in the east end - really, its to be expected around that area.

I used to be as bad as most of them - but it's, imo, getting to much, too violent and too often now, and nothings changing.

You'll never see police officers alone in east london - always in 2's or more.
