So sorry to see Jack in his currant situation..he is very much in my thoughts and prayers. Billy , you are setting a fantastic example of how your life has changed. Total respect my friend
Ya know what Billy I'm a wool who lived in Liverpool for 6 years I'm a window cleaner by trade. I have rounds in Formby Birkdale freshfield and further away Bawtry which is a very upmarket area in South Yorkshire and i also have a round on the estate off Westminster rd in Walton and on my kids lives by far the best payers on my round out of the millionaires and allegedly middle class or whatever they like to think they are is that council estate of wezzy Road every single one of those people pay me anx i clean millionaires who don't pay me for a year and then dispute what they owe.. all that glitters is not gold and as i know you don't judge a book by it's cover people. Me and my son have never been as appreciated and paid anywhere as we have on that estate so a massive respect to them all❤
Fully agree. I do terraced houses in Seacombe and detached houses in West Kirby area, and you never get offered a brew never mind paid on time!

When you work with stuffed shirts draw up a contract. Time of work. What’s involved. Windows. N price. And they sign n you sign n if they don’t pay you have a contract to take to court.
It's the fact that I believe Billy does have empathy and genuine distress, on some level, at seeing ppls plight and hearing their stories that keeps me watching. I see a lot of stuff I have lived with and know it's the same for Bill. I respect his efforts at highlighting the troubles in our midst in the hope of helping and maybe trying to change society's disregard of the suffering, lost, forgotten and and unloved, surviving each day however they can.
Heartbreaking man I lost my dad at 16 I'm 41 now an I still suffer from that trauma from that night I've never recovered I have my mum an sister an nephew an niece but we always still talk about my Dad an I know he's with us all an watching over us until we meet again 🙏hope this fella can get help an look after himself 🙏
I’m the same mate, I’m 48 now& not a day goes by I don’t wish he was here& to make it worse I was an addict when he died& I wish he’d seen me get clean
@@Man_fay_the_Bru telling ye mate he's seen ye man that's how i feel me arl fella sees everything I do feel like he's got me out of some sticky situations over the years my life's similar mate up an down but I've been good for 10 years now still drink socially but that's about it beer with bbq%or watch boxing stay strong mate 💙🙏
I spend time in Croxteth and Norris Green because I know people there, in the most violent parts of them areas too, some of my best friends in Liverpool live in L11. Never really got much trouble off anyone to be honest but I have a couple of times, I do know there's some very dangerous people there though.
Same in stoke absolutely heartbreaking ....we all have our stories and dramas!! Ive been sober and clean 3yrs now this September ! Wish i cud share my strength..but its got to be them that wants to change !! 😢
Hope Jack,one day turns his life around. My son is studying in Liverpool and absolutely loves it,I’ve told him to get up to Goodison before it’s gone,it’s my favourite away ground,old school
@@truckerfromreno I know he’s most likely done all the bad shit that comes with a addict. I was a heroin addict myself for a about 5 years & borrowed money off nearly everyone & anyone. But for the most part I worked. Nothing wrong with a little empathy Bobby lad
@@truckerfromreno Now he's older and wiser he knows that Bobby, thing is he can't put it right anymore, Don't know what the answer is for these Fellas, regards.
Billy I respect so much what you are doing. All these people calling each other out on line and you are interviewing the people showing real compassion. Amazing to see!!! Proper Man
Well Bill, this one really hits home for me , literally. I live right between broady and that cash machine at the bottom of Walton hall ave. Good to see you round here mate, wish would have seen you out an about But Jack's story hit me hard. I lost my ma 5 years ago and it still feels like it was yesterday. Doesn't matter how old you are or how (mentally) tough you are, that sort of greif can kill you, if it doesn't make you stronger. Stay strong Jack mate 💪🏻 Nice one Billy
Grew up in Nogsy which wasn't that bad then. Broadway was just shopping and the indoor market, which was next to Tesco's then. Leo's got built. Drugs are what changed these areas imo. No work, no hope start with the dope. Until we have a sensible and pragmatic drugs policy the slide will continue. Most drugs can be managed differently but coke, crack etc.... they're the issues because they result in chaos. Mad seeing broady again. Keep it up Billy. Your an example of success
@@bluescousenilsatis I don't quite remember the Tesco's but remember Leo's and the co-op. And Threshers. No coincidence that theres always been at least a couple of offies and a couple of bookies in Broady. Help the poor man stay poor.
To be fair I've been to some of the roughest areas in lpool but the ppl there were welcoming an funny. Its the 2% that give scoucers the bad name because realistically scoucers are the funniest ppl in the UK
Is right BILLY LA.... LOVE THESE REAL LIFE VIDS OF LIVERPOOL... AM IN GRIP AS WE SPEAK... ITS MIKE WHO SEEN U BY LIBARY IN RHYL BRO.... PLZ KEEP INSPIRING US WITH RECOVERY STORIES HELP ME SO MUCH...... 🎉❤
My prayer and wishes for the rest of the week are with you Jack 🙏 ❤️, bless your mum lad ,you talabout her showed how much love you both had .take care Jack and Bill you keep at it lad and hope ur kid is well 👍
Lived in Anfield for a year or so and did not have any issues. The locals were very friendly and I never felt unsafe or threatened. That said, it is a deprived area trying to recover from decades of neglect like so many communities around the UK. Successive governments have a lot to answer for...
Hello all the homeless in liverpool most of them don't come from the city and there is help out there but they don't won't go pay any money out cos they are on drugs I feel sorry for the who are homeless but Ias I sad there is help out there😢
My days in the Dingle in the 70s ( park road ).. we’re great days .. rough yes but a place of people you knew .. the Mersey beat , black George’s , organ house , great memories ..
When I was a young lad, a long time ago. Bootle and scotty rd and Litherland were considered the rough areas . I was born in Stanley hospital and lived near the gas works in Bootle. The Teddy boy years.
Excellent Vlog, am originally from Everton Road and then my mum moved to the Henglers Estate back in mid 80s when me and my sister were in our mid teens. Lucky for us we had a fantastic mum that made us go to school/uni and get an education. I have to admit I had a fantastic time in the 80s early 90s in that area also none of my friends or me took drugs. am not saying there was no drugs in our area cause there was and a high use of it but we seemed to stay away from it thank god. My sister lives out of town near Birchwood and me Cressington/Grassendale area of Liverpool now. I have had to drive through that area of late and am so grateful for my mum being so strict with us cause I have seen lads and girls I knew and same age am 55 but they look like they are in there 80s cause of the drug use and lack of help. Great to see what you are doing keep up the great work 👍👍👍
that put a big ball in my throat sad london is just the same very dangerous in some if not most places.hope jack can find soberiety i walk down the street every day and see so many people that are in the same situation and most of em dont wanna change and its sad to see.keep putting out positive and real life every day content billy❤
It’s interesting to see these places.. there’s a million podcasts about Liverpool crime etc ..but for the majority of the audience it’s not a real place. I think you should do more of these videos. It’s a angle the majority of TH-cam will never see. Enjoy your videos Billy.
My heart is heavy me and mark aka jack go way back we have shared a cell together he’s a good lad I just hope he gets betters soon and gets the message again thanks billy great video as per usual keep up the good work
County Road when I was younger was a proper good place for shopping and socialising my Nan and auntie lived on Nimrod street my first house was in Lowell street and it’s sad to see the decline in the area god knows what it will be like when Everton move I can see it getting even worse without the money the match brings to the area.Billy you have genuine compassion for your fellow addicts in my opinion you would make a fantastic councillor in that field.
I was the happiest I was in my life in Andrew street Walton of county road my soulmate the one trusted and was true you don't get that these days I had to move as soon as a so called friend of his found out he died the day before he knocked said do you want me to stay I promised Eddie I would look after you if something happened little did he know my dad was there it was just me and Eddie so nobody knew I had someone Eddie would of been fuming I had it nice he was in bed sit he was moving in the shame he thought walking wasn't that soft
I'll never forget visiting family in Toxteth in the early 90s a much different area to what I'm used to that cousin died in his sleep from an opiate of some description funny how I went that route and had much more luck. I'm sure it's in some families addiction. RIP cousin Carl.
I'm from Dublin Liverpool my second home iv drank in everyone of them areas . Had some me best laughs in Liverpool in deprived areas . Some top people in these places .
As the mass of immigrants living in Liverpool are showing: Scousers are not as proud and not as hard as the Liverpool Echo has been telling us for years. The city is being swamped and changed forever. Where are the hard and proud Scousers who are willing to fight back for what is theirs?
Grew up by the crown , Walton hall ave / sparra/ broadway 80s and 90s . Some great times growing up and some tough times . Some of the lads done well , some sadly never made it . Growing up themways gave me a good grounding tho , then again I’m one of the lucky ones . Neglected part of the city , but home to some of the most honest and genuine people on earth . Boss vid Bill 💪
I’m a Manc but drove tippers around Liverpool back in 2005 when the were building Liverpool One.Some rough areas but all cities have bad areas and drug problem.I’ve lived in Castlebar County Mayo since October 21 and even small country towns have drug problems albeit not in da same level as cities.
In my days in Liverpool, which was in the mid 70s, the roughest and most dangerous places were around the Toxteth area, Liverpool 8, and Princes Road. You did not want to be around these places especially after dark. Liverpool at the time was rated as the most violent city in the UK next only to Glasgow. I do not know if the reconstruction and all the development that happened since in the city have changed things.
I lived on smithdown road Billy as a student for a few years. Loved Liverpool them days. You could see a mile away the harm drugs was doing in city. I used to get Garys over in norris green. So easy to source. Was mad😊
Well done Bill you should be so proud of yourself and not looking your nose down on those who haven't got to were you are ye is amazing to see your a beautiful person with a heart of gold ❤🙏🏻👍💪xxxxxxxx
Show us your 👂 bill, up the scousers, respect your work on the podcast and inspiring blokes to get clean or at least be conscious that it can be done, cheers from Oz
Billy I woke up in Norris Green house after a night out at the Grafton . Love bites all round my neck. I escaped out the back door with her shouting. Done yeah Brekky😂
Watching you two then reminds me of me & my brother, I went one way (the rite way) he went the other and still lives that life, it’s sad seeing good people in that state…I’ve worked all over Liverpool over the last 20 yrs on housing projects/ redevelopment and one summer worked just off the country rd next to a vicarage and about a dozen new builds , certainly was an eye opener but the people where real and good to me, people slate scousers but I personally think they are salt of the earth. Good luck Billy . Take care and I hope your mate finds peace and makes a recovery.
Lived in norris green since 1997 those shops around the wrecked cash machine are my local shops never had a problem in all the years i have been living here.
Went there a few weeks ago staying in the Walton road ,went to Bootle and through the tunnels over to Tranmere rovers etc,best people I’ve ever met🏴
I was born in Anfield. Moved to Norris Green when I was 6 months old and lived there until I was 10. I have fonder memories of living in Norris Green than anywhere I have ever lived. Late 80s/early to late 90s. Went to school off County road.
My heart goes out to jack. I'm in recovery from b+w addiction and I am not looking forward to going through that pain and struggle when the time comes. If we see him.....let's help the man instead of judging him. God bless.
In the 1960's and 70's I was brought up in Garston and lived a very rough and tough childhood, Because we did not have much. We did not steal or shit on our own doorstep and dump rubbish on our streets. A lot of people left because of the acceptance of failing. That is why I left and got a job away from my beloved city. I am sorry that people seem to think that being tough is accepting defeat from their childhood home. Just look at it now. Everything there now seems to be imported and accepted. So ,So sad.
My Mum and Grandparents lived on Eton Street number 77..I was practically brought up round them streets mate..Dad lived in Hayfield Street Anfield opposite the King Harry pub..there wasn't much drugs knocking round in the 70s like there is now but you still had to have your eyes wide open..there was still WW2 bomb sites round there and County Road as quite a busy shopping area..great little video even though it saddened me.
This was so hard to watch cmon jack u gt this u can do anything wen u put ya mind to ur billy ur an absolute dream I wish there was proper men like u round stoke u never judge ur a force keep bein u ❤
Seeing that bloke upset has reminded me of a old boy in our village just lost his wife I'm rarely lost for words wtf do you say 55 years poor bustards lost. I don't care how long people have been on drugs NEVER EVER GIVE UP i didn't and if I can do it anyone can I was a bad junkie no other name for it really bad. Thank fuck those days are behind me. It breaks my heart knowing what people are going through. I've very recently found out who I really am, I'm as soft as shit under the bs I get really emotional now and hate it, I shouldn't it's who I am. Funny how drugs warp your mind the shit i used to believe its embarrassing thinking about it had a good conversation with my family about it, I'm getting soppy now, it breaks my heart how much I fucked up what a waste. Still can't go back. Onwards. That's the only advice I can give i was quitting tomorrow every single day, I think it's the key don't give in to the shit.
We have a mirror image in Dublin. It's the same in every city and town. Since the crack started it's been madness on the street's, we taught the gear was bad, it's a shadow compared to this crack. ✌🏻☘️
Ur mum is your best friend no matter what we fight we make up but that poor man I went to my grans funeral from jail 3 security handcuffed first time I met my son time is a healer I'm going to pray for your friend bill ❤
These vids are boss mate ! If from Walton meself and have seen Walton / county get well worse over the years . Seems like there’s more people on the gear than ever
Your obviously a deccent fella Billy watching your video's. Your most certainly a very handy fella. I made a few comments on Lee Duffy to you, he was a bully yes. Very handy one. I complement you your community loves you. It's good to see people like you in society
Born in Birmingham. But my nin lived on Andrew St right where you were on County road. I knew it in the 70's. No one had any money then. But they had each other. Hope most of that has remained
Best wishes and prayers to the homie Jack.. I lived in Fazakerley for about four months back in about 2003 or 2004 when I got released from HMP Woolton and I used to walk around the city going to the retail parks and city centre shops because I was a good shoplifter back then and then I used to go and sell all the gear in either Kirkby.. Toxteth or Annfield.. Im a Brummy and loved it in my short time In Liverpool.. Never had any issues or problems.. YNWA 💚 ❤ Im a 20 year plus heroin addict myself and I could see that familiar pain in Jack's eyes and I often wonder how I will cope myself when my parents go as they are my world just as Jack said.. Respect to Bill for doing his thing and still having respect and kindness for the addicts who are still struggling unlike some on this platform always just shouting "smack head this and crackhead that" which don't help nobody.. Drugs have destroyed so many of our inner cities.. Birmingham where I'm from is literally smack city and I know Liverpool is much the same.
@@gary1642 Woolton or Walton Im not from there so didn't know the spelling difference and it was nearly 20 years ago.. Your not going to catch me out matey because we were on a lockout from our local jail Winson Green and there was two buses going from Birmingham magistrates.. One was going to walton(is that spelling ok?) and the other to Strange ways.. I got the Walton bus and was there for another five months and then landed up in a big probation hostel on a main road in Fazakerley.. Why would I lie about it.. I'm not proud of it 😂
@ponyboycurtis3795 did I accuse you of lying? Walton or Woolton isn't a spelling mistake, it's geography. Woolton is one of the best parts of Liverpool, Walton ( I know because I lived by the flyover L4 not L9 for a few years) is a shit hole. Touchy aren't we?
God bless you for giving Jack the time of day. Everyone’s fighting battles, some worse than others.
So sorry to see Jack in his currant situation..he is very much in my thoughts and prayers.
Billy , you are setting a fantastic example of how your life has changed.
Total respect my friend
❤️💙
May god bless him and send him peace of mind and good luck

So sad. There for the grace of God. We are all only a bad decision away from oblivion.

😢me too love,Jack had the courage to speak fair play to him.
Would appreciate more videos like this Billy! Would be good to see Liverpool and its areas through your eyes like this.

Poor Jack. Lost my mom last year then a few weeks later my dad went from literally a broken heart so feel for this man regardless of his conflictions

Billy I respect so much what you are doing. All these people calling each other out on line and you are interviewing the people showing real compassion. Amazing to see!!! Proper Man
My Grandad was born on Scargreen Avenue in Norris Green in 1930 apparently it was nice back then. Things change.
Yes, the Left were on the side of the English working class back in those days.
It's picking up. I'm on Lower House and from 30 years ago to now is an amazing difference
Well Bill, this one really hits home for me , literally. I live right between broady and that cash machine at the bottom of Walton hall ave. Good to see you round here mate, wish would have seen you out an about

In my days in Liverpool, which was in the mid 70s, the roughest and most dangerous places were around the Toxteth area, Liverpool 8, and Princes Road. You did not want to be around these places especially after dark. Liverpool at the time was rated as the most violent city in the UK next only to Glasgow. I do not know if the reconstruction and all the development that happened since in the city have changed things.
I lived on smithdown road Billy as a student for a few years. Loved Liverpool them days. You could see a mile away the harm drugs was doing in city. I used to get Garys over in norris green. So easy to source. Was mad😊
Thank you for high lighting Liverpool.
So sad to see human beings living a life , surviving in extremes times.✝️🙏❤️
Takes alot for me to get emotional but that really got me ❤
🙏❤️
Well done Bill you should be so proud of yourself and not looking your nose down on those who haven't got to were you are ye is amazing to see your a beautiful person with a heart of gold ❤🙏🏻👍💪xxxxxxxx

Another great insight lad. UTFT!
Poor Jack i hope he gets to turn his life around for the better!
💙
Behave. The age of him.
@@truckerfromreno Never too late to turn your life around.
Great to see you out and about in the city today Billy. Cheers for the photo even though you had to work my phone to take it. All the best Tony….
Billy I woke up in Norris Green house after a night out at the Grafton .
Love bites all round my neck.
I escaped out the back door with her shouting.
Done yeah Brekky😂
Ha Ha John, i think every over 50 Liverpudlian has probably been there at some point in their life, lol 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
.Ive got some good pals in the Pool and a heard some stories over the years .God bless Jack hope he can seek help and life gets better for him Bill.
He made me cry ffs ..
❤ 💔😭 And am hard as nails
That was heartbreaking. ❤
❤️
Great video! Appreciate the insight. All the best to Jack 🙏
Watching you two then reminds me of me & my brother, I went one way (the rite way) he went the other and still lives that life, it’s sad seeing good people in that state…I’ve worked all over Liverpool over the last 20 yrs on housing projects/ redevelopment and one summer worked just off the country rd next to a vicarage and about a dozen new builds , certainly was an eye opener but the people where real and good to me, people slate scousers but I personally think they are salt of the earth. Good luck Billy . Take care and I hope your mate finds peace and makes a recovery.
I haven’t met a scouser I didn’t get on with, I’m Scottish, they’re good people imo
❤️💙
Lived in norris green since 1997 those shops around the wrecked cash machine are my local shops never had a problem in all the years i have been living here.
“Used to score around here” cracked me up, I know it’s no laughing matter it’s the way you just dead panned dropped it lad haha 😂
Went there a few weeks ago staying in the Walton road ,went to Bootle and through the tunnels over to Tranmere rovers etc,best people I’ve ever met🏴
Powerful stuff Bill . Ruff old world for some people
❤️
You can tell that guys soul is tearing apart god bless the guy man 🙏
Have to say for someone who has used previously you look fantastic and had you not mentioned it I would never have thought it.
Billy you are a inspiration for others i hope they see the light
I was born in Anfield. Moved to Norris Green when I was 6 months old and lived there until I was 10. I have fonder memories of living in Norris Green than anywhere I have ever lived. Late 80s/early to late 90s. Went to school off County road.
My heart goes out to jack. I'm in recovery from b+w addiction and I am not looking forward to going through that pain and struggle when the time comes. If we see him.....let's help the man instead of judging him. God bless.
Great video Billy. Would love to see more like this
Course ❤️💙
Cracking clip that. I would like to see more of that sort of content. Eye opener that one .
Yes definitely the way forward 💯👌
In the 1960's and 70's I was brought up in Garston and lived a very rough and tough childhood, Because we did not have much. We did not steal or shit on our own doorstep and dump rubbish on our streets. A lot of people left because of the acceptance of failing. That is why I left and got a job away from my beloved city. I am sorry that people seem to think that being tough is accepting defeat from their childhood home. Just look at it now. Everything there now seems to be imported and accepted. So ,So sad.
Great video and humanity Billy, one of your very best sir
As always bill love the pod, and the reality of what it is in the pool , keep it coming lad ✌️
i relate to Jack, nothing prepares you for loss. It can eat you up and you find out who your real mates are.
My Mum and Grandparents lived on Eton Street number 77..I was practically brought up round them streets mate..Dad lived in Hayfield Street Anfield opposite the King Harry pub..there wasn't much drugs knocking round in the 70s like there is now but you still had to have your eyes wide open..there was still WW2 bomb sites round there and County Road as quite a busy shopping area..great little video even though it saddened me.
POWERFUL VIDEO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Respect to you, hit nail on the head there!!!!
3:10 I lost my mind when my mum died and I know a few others that did too. It’s mad how it affects some. Be safe everyone plz ❤
Keep doing your thing Billy god blessed you and god will bless jack if he follows his path and give the glory to the lord
Amen
"I want peace of mind".
That hit hard.
I couldn’t agree more to be contented and free from them shackles
Are god bless Jack 😢you should be so proud Bill you have come a very very long way keep giving yourself that pat on the back 💙
❤️
Great videos lad
This was so hard to watch cmon jack u gt this u can do anything wen u put ya mind to ur billy ur an absolute dream I wish there was proper men like u round stoke u never judge ur a force keep bein u ❤
Know these areas very well billy …. Do more of these lad 👌🏻
Will do 🙌
Oh billy it’s so sad makes my heart ache I know what it’s like I was a addict for 15 yrs but been clean 15 yrs now life’s good thank god 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Was born and raised on breck, moved away for work but came back recently and fk me its gone to shit and so sad to see, proper breaks my heart
Seeing that bloke upset has reminded me of a old boy in our village just lost his wife I'm rarely lost for words wtf do you say 55 years poor bustards lost. I don't care how long people have been on drugs NEVER EVER GIVE UP i didn't and if I can do it anyone can I was a bad junkie no other name for it really bad. Thank fuck those days are behind me. It breaks my heart knowing what people are going through. I've very recently found out who I really am, I'm as soft as shit under the bs I get really emotional now and hate it, I shouldn't it's who I am. Funny how drugs warp your mind the shit i used to believe its embarrassing thinking about it had a good conversation with my family about it, I'm getting soppy now, it breaks my heart how much I fucked up what a waste. Still can't go back. Onwards. That's the only advice I can give i was quitting tomorrow every single day, I think it's the key don't give in to the shit.
❤️💙
You should be very proud of yourself Billy, for turning your life around. Thanks for the vids, very interesting.
We have a mirror image in Dublin. It's the same in every city and town. Since the crack started it's been madness on the street's, we taught the gear was bad, it's a shadow compared to this crack. ✌🏻☘️
💙❤️
Thank you for making them video's your a true inspiration
❤️💙
Ur mum is your best friend no matter what we fight we make up but that poor man I went to my grans funeral from jail 3 security handcuffed first time I met my son time is a healer I'm going to pray for your friend bill ❤
These vids are boss mate ! If from Walton meself and have seen Walton / county get well worse over the years . Seems like there’s more people on the gear than ever
Your obviously a deccent fella Billy watching your video's. Your most certainly a very handy fella. I made a few comments on Lee Duffy to you, he was a bully yes. Very handy one. I complement you your community loves you. It's good to see people like you in society
Love Liverpool as city had some boss days with the Villa.
He is my mate love him to bits. His mum has just passed and you feel the grief. My mate always will be.xx
Fair play to you Billy: ye doing it and reaching the right souls x 👍🏻
I Dont do Drugs Billy x but i hear him about him mum 💔..Lifes NEVER the same again Xxx GODBLESS
Born in Birmingham. But my nin lived on Andrew St right where you were on County road. I knew it in the 70's. No one had any money then. But they had each other. Hope most of that has remained
Best wishes and prayers to the homie Jack.. I lived in Fazakerley for about four months back in about 2003 or 2004 when I got released from HMP Woolton and I used to walk around the city going to the retail parks and city centre shops because I was a good shoplifter back then and then I used to go and sell all the gear in either Kirkby.. Toxteth or Annfield.. Im a Brummy and loved it in my short time In Liverpool.. Never had any issues or problems.. YNWA 💚 ❤ Im a 20 year plus heroin addict myself and I could see that familiar pain in Jack's eyes and I often wonder how I will cope myself when my parents go as they are my world just as Jack said.. Respect to Bill for doing his thing and still having respect and kindness for the addicts who are still struggling unlike some on this platform always just shouting "smack head this and crackhead that" which don't help nobody.. Drugs have destroyed so many of our inner cities.. Birmingham where I'm from is literally smack city and I know Liverpool is much the same.
HMP Woolton?
@@gary1642 yeah mate
The prison is Hornby Rd Walton matey xx
@@gary1642 Woolton or Walton Im not from there so didn't know the spelling difference and it was nearly 20 years ago.. Your not going to catch me out matey because we were on a lockout from our local jail Winson Green and there was two buses going from Birmingham magistrates.. One was going to walton(is that spelling ok?) and the other to Strange ways.. I got the Walton bus and was there for another five months and then landed up in a big probation hostel on a main road in Fazakerley.. Why would I lie about it.. I'm not proud of it 😂
@ponyboycurtis3795 did I accuse you of lying? Walton or Woolton isn't a spelling mistake, it's geography. Woolton is one of the best parts of Liverpool, Walton ( I know because I lived by the flyover L4 not L9 for a few years) is a shit hole. Touchy aren't we?
Brilliant video mate.
❤️💙
Great videos be good to see more mate,is mossley hill posh or ruff mate
