Nottingham:top 10 worst UK town to live

I'd sooner live in Notts than London. Nothing wrong with London I just don't like big cities. Nature is so much more spectacular than anything man can make (hence I have a collection of googled images of views of snow, mountains, lakes, sunsets, aurora and waterfalls )

aren't 99% of all stats made up?

Yeah, just don't expect to see too many of all those in Nottingham

appearing on that show would automaticly make those particular town undesirable to anyone.

I don't think Andy meant anything by referring to the muggers as Asians. The fact that they were was mentioned, but that doesn't mean that he was stating something deeper about stereotypes or anything. xx

No i think he did and if you have read any of his other posts in D+D you'd know what i mean.

So what did he write in D&D? I avoid that subforum cus it's tiring and I can't be bothered and don't wanna risk being neg repped

Unpolitically correct stuff. However I don't see how what I write in d&d can possibly have to do with this which afterall is just me, telling you guys what a Policeman said to me regarding a group of organised muggers operating in my local Nottingham area. They just happened to be Asian, not white, not chinese, etc nothing I can do about that!!

Anyway I really think this thread should either die a sorry death or at least get back on topic. I hate it when things get so off topic and I feel I'm just repeating myself now!

I know it won't make me popular saying this but, I'm just using logic here, the Radford area is a largely asian area and is known for being a bit of a crime hotspot, particularly at night. Now considering the main student area, Lenton, is next door it wouldn't surprise me that criminals from Radford will target students coming back drunk from nightclubs. So a bunch of criminals from Radford working together are in all likelihood going to be Asian. Even so most of the groups of asian guys you might see walking around will be normal folk or even be uni students themselves, so getting suspicious or paranoid about it is pretty stupid.

As for that program, Nottingham has it's good and bad bits like any other city, you'll hear various stories about a friend of a friend getting mugged etc and you'll find out early on that the Meadows and St. Anns ought to be avoided like the plague, and some say to steer clear of Radford too. I think one major problem that I have had no experience of yet having spent my first year in halls is problems with burglary in student housing. I get the impression that by and large as long as you keep security in mind while searching for a house and dont make stupid mistakes (like leaving windows open when you're gone) you should be fine.

Irisng - You won't find all that much natural world eye candy in Nottingham itself, but the Peak District is only an hour away by train. Get a train to Matlock and walk to the Nine Sisters for example. (Meet the eco-warriors while you're there too!) And Sherwood forest is apparently worth a visit. Oh and Wollaton park for the deer and post-exam summer barbecues
.....oh and join the Explorers Society at uni too!
