lol newcastle rough? i live in the west end and its aparently one of the rough areas of newcastle and ive never had any trouble, ive lived here for probably 12 years now. where i was born and grew up in nottingham was atleast 20x worse than newcastle is. you get a lot of rough looking types but they never give me any hassle and i dont see gangs of kids hanging out on street corners. its nearly all uni students up here
