TWO of the MOST DANGEROUS SCHEMES in GLASGOW.

[@chrisicotec7652]

i grew up in drumchapel, in the first part of your drumchapel section where you spoke to those kids. untili was about 6 years old i lived directly facing the parade of shops, the houses have been changed though,before moving closer to the centre..... this would have been in the 80s, i found a dead body in one of the old back courts when i was 5... saw my first murder at 7, i lost count of how many beating, stabbings, slashings and coshings i saw growing up there, id say drumchapel was at its worst in the early 90s as far as violence went, at the age of 15/16 i became a victim of said violence by proxy of walking through a part of drumchapel i did not live, despite having no affiliation with any gangs... they almost killed me, left me with a fractured skull, broken jaw, various stab and slash wounds resulting in a very long hospital stay, ove 200 internal and external stitches all because i ddnt live in that part of the drum (up the hill).... I learned from this that injuries heal, some take longer than others... now 30 years later i have a permanent headache, 2 of the most unsighly scars imaginable, one going from ear to mouth, the injuries healed, but the trauma still exists and it can be hard to regain any confidence you had

Lived in Blackhill years ago and we had to save up just to be poor 😂 all the schemes are rough as toast if im honest

[@RD-ox3ce]

Took a wrong turning at Blochairn about 30 years ago and ended up in Blackhill, nothing but packs of Young Team hanging about street corners,probably Glasgows roughest scheme back then.

[@davidcampbell3642]

Away back in 1981, I had just passed my driving test. I borrowed my dad's car one day, and I turned off the motorway and took a wrong turn into Blackhill. As I'm trying to find the road out, I couldn't believe what a dump it was with boulders and broken glass all over the street. This kid about five ran up to my car and threw a boulder at the car, which smashed the left-hand side window. I drove out of there so fast, I can tell you.

My elderly neighbour moved out , it’s a beautiful house in a street with half council & half private. The council have turned it into a scatter flat . There’s people coming & going all hours . The last tenant was a junkie now we’ve got an ex jail bird. They are deliberately lowering the tone of the neighbourhood . You’ll only get a council house these days if you have problems & are a criminal.

Growing up in ayrshire, we were always told that there are two parts of Glasgow to stay away from. Drumchapel and Easterhouse. I went to a few partys in Easterhouse and had great times, and my partner, and her family, are from the Drum. I lived with her in the Drum for a couple years, and had zero issues. Some of the nicest people ive ever met. Had a van full of tools, rapid wee hot hatch and never felt like anything was gonna go missing. Yeah you heard the odd thing here and there, but ye stay out the way of the bams, they stay out your way. Does help that i was over 6ft and 17 stone hahaha.

[@Michael-yl4or]

Local council charges £40 to uplift,most recycling centres don't allow vans in to dispose of large household goods either mate....hence the huge upturn in flytipping. Every time your bed,fridge/freezer,sofas need replaced,you have a choice..stump up the uplift charges or feed the kids and heat your home? For a lot of people in today's difficult financial situation,there's only one answer to that.

[@saltylips9965]

​@@Michael-yl4orthe issue is that the charges are there really to take a sneaky tax off of anyone doing homers. They're there to try tackle those earning money that isn't through the books. But as is everything in life, there's two sides to everything so it has its negative impacts on the poor too.

Love your content Billy, i know you're not scared to walk the schemes at dark but it would definitely make for some interesting content, would have loved you to go back in time to late 80s or 90s and walked from the Drum and into my hometown of Clydebank, 20 minute walk, you would have loved it, so much going on.
