Bernice: Its nothing new. Been like that for years in Wythenshawe. That program goes back a few years and I think it may have improved somewhat but you ever watch the program Shameless? That is supposed to be based on people in estates like that. Very funny program though Not all council estates are like that. I have lived on one for first time ever for a while now and the people are absolutely the best. I have made loads of friends and it is a great community. It is the people that determine how good or bad an estate is. It is the same the world over.

"Drunkenness was a prevailing vice. Even children were to be seen in the streets intoxicated. On Sundays, men and women might be observed standing round the public-house doors, waiting for the expiration of the hours of public worship in order to continue their carousing. As for the condition of the prison population, that, indeed, is indescribable. Notwithstanding the severe punishment for sly grog selling, it was carried on to a large extent. Men and women were found intoxicated together, and a bottle of brandy was considered to be cheaply bought for 20 lashes... All that the vilest and most bestial of human creatures could invent and practise, was in this unhappy country invented and practised without restraint and without shame"
