Not many low income families in Addiscombe and Shirley though Sergei! Every large city/town has its rough areas and its more salubrious areas, Croydon is no exception and dare i say it nor is Brighton

Definitely, I agree. I think that those bimbos are talking patronising shite.

Lets face it MoH people like Rebrov and all these other grotesquely paid 'superstar' footballers wouldn't be walking in areas such as Haringey and Thornton Heath they will be in their Aston Martin's or Bentley's cruising around Knightsbridge or Oxshott!

Croydon is full to bursting with ghastly poor people. It's a fact. To be fair most of the advice he gave sounds spot on and he would do well to follow it, as would we all.

Indeed. Speaking as someone who was born in Purley and lived in Sanderstead the posher parts of Croydon are very nice indeed. AND it's got a tram system, a flyover and an underpass.

If Russians are telling us places are shitholes then we really have to acknowledge we have a problem.

Firstly, Sergei Rebrov is Ukrainian, not Russian. And secondly, I'd say the point here is that he's obviously a pig-ignorant racist bigot, so any "problems", as you would put it, lie more with him and other stupidly-scared people.

I know, was just generalising. I used to live in Purley and would go to Croydon a lot. It is okay in parts.

The center of Croydon might be a bit down market although Luton makes it look like Brighton however most of the out lying areas such as Sutton, Shirley or Bromley are not. I think confusion is with SE25 which, although is comes under Croydon Council (along with Norbury I think) is actually in London whilst Croydon is in Surrey.

We take the urine but Moulescombe and Whitehawk are pretty grim and there's noting too great about Portslade and Southwick either.

firstly i would say i would not like to be stuck with you in a boozer.


secondly he may come from a culture that is unfamiliar with migrant communities and the poverty associated with inner cities, not to mention what is acceptable language in this country. i would take your very smug liberal stance as proving you far less aware or accomodating to cultural differences than you would like to think, based on your pompous little tirade.

as for stupidly scared, i expect a middle class bloke like you would just breeze down the seven sisters road at night high fiving black people without a care in the world eh?
