What gang did you belong to?

In Cramlington, between the ages of 13 - early 15 there were groups knocking around the streets - 'Charvers' and 'Moshers'.

We were 'in betweens' and we got called 'Trendies' by the Charvs eventually, as we had no name and had to be branded!

Then they kicked us in.

Did none of yous go to Byker Grove or play football with Jossies Giants?

I thought all Geordies did

i went on holiday to cornwall was i was 14....they really did believe that i went to byker grove (i told them i wasn't even a geordie!) & that i knew spoogie!

i hung around with a group of girls when i was at school...quite fit ones as well! loads of the lads in my class used to think i was well in. unfortunately i wasn't!

of course i didn't dress like a girl tho...

no, but i used to live near where they filmed 'Emmerdale' The old set anyway b4 they moved cause of the millions of tourists trying to get into the one of the smallest villages in yorkshire. all at once. in big coaches. Asking "Where's seth?" They sent flyers round at the time they filmed the 'airplane crash' episodes telling people 'they'd be filming large explosions and we were not to be worried.'

i had a pretty good run with things. i just bounced from group to group as i saw fit... chavs... geeks... whatever... i had it easy

:groovy:

i was in the pink laydees.

i got bullied for it.

where did you live mate?

cos thats near where live


an the woolpack rocks

I used to be in a popular gang.
We used to get pissed at the weekends and play footbal every night
When I got to 16 I had decks, this kept me in the house a bit more

Hee hee down the willows on a friday nite eh!?

At school I was a bit of everything really!
Played on the school hockey team so was in with all the sporty people
Knew all the charvas, for back up, quite oftenly hung about on a friday nite down the willows...getting mashed up (missT, will kno where I mean!)
Got in with the not so popular peeps, who knew their shit....in case need any help with homework!

Pah...school was a breeze...when u kno the right ppl!
LOL xx

Along with at least half a bottle of whisky! I learnt my lesson after that one. Never touched alcohol for at least a year after that and the smell of whisky still makes me feel sick.

Used to live in Yeadon. Cut down thru Esholt Woods to the old village. The pub used to be called 'The Commercial Inn' years ago.

ihave to drive thru yeadon centre when i go to uni, the people there do not know that in a fight between them an a car they're gonna lose, they jus wander out in front of you...



an the baildon massive would kick all your charve asses!

it's a quiet little village, with lots of history... the pace of life is slow there. but it has its share of nutters you wouldn't mess with. well.. it used to have when i used to go to school/ drink around there '89, '90 till about '94....

baildon - phah! smaller still and full of tofs.

Remember them I forked out £25 for a black and white stripey usw trucker cap a few months back

erm, normal i guess, wanst charva or goth or toff, more like slightly scruffy normal kid

yeah its a pretty sleepy village here too, i'm sure it wasn't tihs bad when i used to live here all the time?

an if i play em after 9 they still complain, even when its not that loud:evil: :evil:

its not even the people next door, they're from down the street for fukks sake, get a life people

I was in the sporty/cool/brainy group. I was a sports captain too. I wouldn't dare do anything wrong at school!

nice, glad someones keeping the USW flag flying

it should never die

u gotta remember we're (or you sorry!) are on the edge of ilkley moor... it's where Titchmarsh is from... thats the mentality.
