I don't feel safe!!
 

I started working in a town just outside of nottingham this week, it's such a strange place and it seems that no one works at all adults included.. It's like a town that the council forgot about..

I wouldn't say I'm a pushover but I don't revel in confrontation and I hate fighting but every night at 5.40 when I walk 200 yards to the tram stop I worry about getting mugged.. Stabbed etc etc and it is the type of place where that stuff happens :( I was supposed to be working in Nottingham city but my training is in this place .. For another 3 weeks... Ughh ****ing hate it!!! Why can't people just not be so agressive!! Basicly to be short this place IS chav world.. I'm a polar opposite and I don't know what to do. After my training I could be called to work here at anytime... :( trouble is there is no negotiation I NEED this job.

Buy a hoodie, and blend in! Other than that, speak to your boss and highlight your concerns. Also have a word with the local plod.

Where I live is also known as 'treacle town' because of the people that you get here, I, and friends have been in fights etc loads here, I've never been mugged but one of my mates ended up with a few broken ribs after getting mugged.

I'd just always be prepared to 'do one', and try to time your tram journeys so that you arrive and only have to wait a few minutes.

you mean they're syrupy sweet?...

lyle, sounds like a dive - we did a survey in nottingham a while back, didn't think it was that bad but we didn't stay beyond sunset...

bit of a worry as i might be doing a masters at the university later this year:smt017

Where exactly is it? Obviously it's on Nottingham tram route so it can't be that far from the city centre.
