grew up in Telford, Shropshire..

it was tulipe when i lived there and after i went back recently to visit family it seems it's gone down hill since..

of a class of 30 i'd guess:

15 are dole dossing single family parents
2 are fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan
5 have been or are currently in prison
5 have manual labour jobs
the rest are working in a professional job

Not far from my part of the world, the wife is from wellie. Most of them work for Sankeys or if you did good, EDS/Fujitsu or whatever it is now!

I've got a mixture of friends from my childhood in Liverpool. Some did good and some didn't.

Often joked about starting the next web 2.0 application for ex-cons called FiendsReunited.co.uk.

I like that...

Same here - when did you escape?

I've stopped going back for the funerals a few years ago.

Left in '77. Still got family there so go back from time to time.

My parents managed to get us away from the hellholes (hard work, etc.) but not all of the family were so lucky.

At a funeral in Liverpool the other year, my mum was talking to one of my cousins:

"So how are your kids?"

"Well, my stepson was murdered a few weeks before Christmas."

"What?!"

"Yeah, he'd been selling the duty-free booze and fags on some gang's patch. They warned him but he didn't stop, so they shot him."

"That's terrible... What about your son?"

"He's in prison. Been inside just over two years now."

"What for?"

"Attempted murder..."

Kinda hits home

Me. Springburn and Dennistoun in Glasgow, and more than my fair share of childhood mates dead by nefarious causes.

Got me thinking, who else grew up up in a tuliphole?

As I've joked with before to many people if I want to meet up with old friends from school I just need to find out the visiting hours at Barlinnie Prison in Glasgow.

Just heard on the news that yet another person as I was at school with was stabbed to death tonight, we weren't friends but lived in the same street years ago. No loss to society anyway...

From that form year at school the tally looks like 6 murdered and 8 jailed for murder, not related I assume.
