After all the segregationist stuff and ignorance of 'the other', I decided I should start up a new tour operator called 'Ghetto Tours'.


I promise to get you a family to stay with in the most rundown, ghettoised areas of the world so you can experience the poverty and life threatening danger for yourselves for only ?1500 per week plus flights.


Each family will be specially selected to make sure they don't nick all your stuff while you are sleeping, but will be hard enough to stop you getting mugged every time you step out of the front door.


Destinations include:

a council estate in Birkenhead

Central Kingston, Jamaica

Mission district, San Fransisco

Aylsbury Estate


More destination soon to come.


The tour operator does not accept responsibility for loss of or damage to any personal property or if you get your head kicked in or shot.

Hah! I love Sean that your reference point is San Fran and mine Birkenhead. I actually know some people from Birkenhead. Do you think that qualifies me to bounce in ED? I think I could scare off those Bromley riff raff.


The North West holds no mystique for me CWALD,but i'll sign up for Jamaica

There are NO ghettoes in the UK. It might suit the wannabe gangsters to say so, or Paul Ince, but like it or not, our country's most deprived areas do not compare with the terribly poor and more dangerous counterparts in the US. The UK has a safety net in the shape of universal health care, better gun crime statistics and more involved policing. Comparing Moss Side to parts of Chicago is a non-starter. Listening to people talk about ghettoes in Britain is laughable and sad at the same time.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
