Yes he does, it's bleak and worth watching - the town was left to it's own devices and many couldn't find a different role, drink and drugs filled the gap.

Thanks mate, the first few pages of the book describe the lowell fighters as win some lose some opponents ,showing how tough Lowell is.

It's on YouTube. High on Crack Street. Very nasty viewing, I've seen that pipes handiwork first hand. It's no different in Lowell as it was in Easterhouse 12 years ago. Horrible addiction.

How rough we talking?

Ive never been there myself really i dont think,ive worked in Glasgow before but cant remember being there but im from Dundee and i have heard of it being pretty rough but probably no worse than any scheme in UK

I remember Kevin Bridges mentioning the place in one of his routines as being rough or at least that was the jist

Also not far from Easterhoose myself mate. Only 2 or 3 miles away from me. Glasgow aint as bad as people like to make out as I'm sure you may agree, maybe bad for people unfamiliar with it who could easily stray into rougher areas but thats the same for outsiders in any unfamiliar territory. Everywhere is the same for me, there are good bits and bad bits a stones throw away from each other no matter where you are and the safety comes from the local knowledge of knowing where to go and where to avoid.

Easterhouse aint anywhere near as bad as it used to be but I wouldn't recommend it for a picnic.
