You really talk some rubbish....what do you mean "people will intervene here not like the UK" what a load of tosh....anyone in the UK would intervene if they saw someone pinching another persons stuff while that person was swimming or whatever....aussies are no better or no worse than brits, dont be so stupid.
Maybe I am wrong in which case you are just an arrogant w****r.:) |

I don't think that it is fair to compare Stalybridge with places like Moss Side and Salford, given that it is considerably out of Manchester (in Cheshire actually) and if you are including areas that far out, why omit Ashton or Droylsden which are considerably worse? I live in Stalybridge at the moment and have done for 5 years, before that I had always lived in Hyde (Gee Cross), in the time I have lived in Stalybridge I have never had a break in. Also just look at the difference in house prices between Stalybridge and Salford, Moss Side etc, that speaks volumes. Moss Side and Salford have had years and years of crime with all the gangs in Manchester, Stalybridge is getting worse than it was but we are talking about two totally different animals here. Rant over, for the record, I don't think anywhere in the Manchester area is ideal, which is why we are moving to Perth.:) |

Working security/nightclubs it's stayed pretty much constant in terms of low-level disorder since I started working in the industry, but the violent crime and murder rate has shot up in my perception even in the year and a half or so I've been back here. Went back to the UK for a couple of weeks and my friends there still had the misconception of Perth being some sort of crime-free utopia and were quite taken aback when I told them the real story. So interested to hear the views of those who live here now on the crime rate and how it's affected them, if at all. Also interested on hearing the views of those yet to move here but considering it. |

We witnessed our neighbours being beaten up, stabbed in an unprovoked attack, Ocean Reef. 6. Wife had a rock thrown at her car in Mullaloo. ......don't live in Ocean Reef. :) |

I just looked at your posting history - you have been on here two weeks, no hellos or other common courtesies, several abusive posts, you are glad a guy has cancer, other posts are stirring s**t and you are jumping about on forums all over the world (not seen any on the antarctica forum yet, though).

Just to add to this list, last night at a NYE party I met a 17 year old lad from my street, he couldn't walk properly and his arm was bandaged. Turns out he was stabbed 5 times with a 7 inch knife at a party a couple of months ago. So add this to the list...
7. Boy in my street stabbed 5 times, nearly died. |
