3 years is a long time, best one was a couple of months back. Yknow that Burger King near Victoria ? Two gangs of lads laid into each other at about 3 in the afternoon, two were left in critical condition and another with gunshot wounds, plus the city has the highest increase in gun crime of the UK, as well as the highest number of seized weapons (47) this year of anywhere in the UK, not to mention massive increases in violent crime and roberies - last month a guy was convicted for mugging 18 people in less than a month by holding a syringe of blood to them and saying it was infected with HIV.
As for Big Issue sellers - fair enough we all have to make a living - but when you stink of alcohol and swear at people who don't buy then I don't care ! Plus the fat that every street from Broadmarsh to Victoria has about two sellers at both ends means it's like some kind of assault course - dodge the tramps, beggars, big issue sellers, people asking for change, charity people - and you're done !
Meadowhall rocks.....

I could go on for ages, but the bottom line is I don't think much of Nottingham and only go when I can't avoid it, luckily my Uni course takes me to the campus outside the city, hurrah !
