Where were you mate?

I was on Mere Road.

Kimberley Road. There was a hotel called The Stoneygate Hotel on the road just off mine so I used to put my address as Stoneygate but in reality that was across the way. I was on the edge of Highfields. For me though, Highfields was the other side of Evington Road. Although on our first night in the house, two of my housemates went to the Co-Op and a bloke dropped a knife in the street in front of them. And someone got murdered a few doors up from us a few months later. Oh and there was that murder where the body was in the car for days on St James Road I think it was? Was quite big news.

Yeah. I remember all of those things. Except the knife dropping incident.

Once though, when our door wasn't locked, 2 men walked in asking for James (my name) and insisting that I sell them some drugs. I was quite scared and would like to point out I'm not and never have been a drug user, let alone a dealer!

Another time a group of about 5 people walked in, got half way across our lounge and looked at my mate and I and said 'Oh, is this a house now?'

Brilliant.

My uncle used to own a Video rental place on chapeltown road, and I remember one night we were sitting in the park and drinking, we saw 2 cars racing each other, unfortunately a car was pulling out from a side street and one of the cars hit the car.

The drivers from the cars that were racing, get out, pull there guns out, grab the driver from the car that pulled out (the guy was semi unconcious and had blood all over him, one could see that the guy was really hurt) and gave him a right beating, luckily one of there mates got out of the car and pulled them away before they killed him!!!

Ambulance arrived shortly, but no police!! Scary stuff, never shit it so much in my life!!!
