Tag her too ini, or you can ignore us.

How do you get a D in English though...

We were doing Cambridge IGCSE foundation tier and the grade boundaries were really tight 😶 I got a C though 👍🏼 Some people got E's and U's but they didn't care. Our teacher didn't give a sh** either she would look at handbags during lesson and other stuff. I got an A in my coursework ☺️

Hmm nvm then don't know that one, I'm not so sure about Solihull anyway. I just know it's one of the nicest parts in Birmingham, and now I see how you got accepted, miss A*

yea well if you ask someone who may or may even be from or near, they'd say aston is this and that, and repeatedly if someone makes a list about dodgy areas in Brum, Aston would pop up :rolleyes:

so apparently the reputation is poor for some legit and non legit reasons...

And same :yy:

ohhh I see those emojis....is someone on their iPad? :hubba:

you at home or out or what?

lmao pray for you if you step foot in Aston.

Depends where in Aston. By the factories is fine and incredibly quiet. Newtown, not so much.

I live in these areas. Not saying which one.

Honestly couldn't step foot in Newtown, I can step in Aston/Newtown border on the Aston border but not in the Newtown area.

Actually it depends, because while these areas are guienually bad in reputation , the reputation only exists because it's these areas that gangs have chosen to based and mainly start the trouble here. The gangs will kill, shoot, deal and do any crime in these bad areas. Newtown , etc have got a bad reputation, worse so than the other 'dodgy' areas of birmingham ( alum rock, druids heath), because gangs mostly operate in these areas ( and in the others areas, it's usually chavs or not as hard gangs, that you see, so the reputation wouldn't be so bad). Gangs usually just do their business with other gangs members. I guess, since i'm living in these areas, what i'm trying to say is, if you don't associate and seek yourself to be part of the gangs, you won't actually find any trouble living in these areas. ( Still though, I can't see myself walking through, Aston, Lozells, Hockley Newtown, or even parts of my area, whether i'm associated with gangs of not.)

Peaky Blinders, prove Brum is an amazing city.

I will probably never afford a house in london unless i earn significantly more than i expect I will.

Brum is a nice multi-cultural city with affordable housing and moderately good job prospects.

Its great! I know i lived there for 4 years, XD.

My last living spot in birmingham was Nechells its alright not london good but unless you inherit in london you wont buy a house so why stay.
