Car crash tv that makes you glad of your own life, and that your not from kilmarnock. Unlike a mate of mine....

Ah, 'The Scheme' was on up here a while ago, folk talking about it in the office, makes ye proud to be Scottish eh! sigh.
The annoying thing is, its being shown UK wide now, so everyone south of Ayr now thinks everyone up here speaks like that (most of the time i can't understand a word that is said, and i am from Aberdeen where Doric is still spoken in some places!!)
I refused to watch it after the first one, as it gives fuel to the fire that people WANT to see this stuff on TV, if they can afford booze, fags and drugs, then they are getting too much on the dole!!
I work hard for nice things, why should they be able to afford a bigger TV than i can!!! oh its okay though, he doesn't have to feed his kids does he...ggrrr
Wee now suitably warmed.

The Onthank estate in Kilmarnock is like the wild west. Its mental. And this comes from me who grew up in the Cranhill estate in Glasgow.
Across Scotland, in most major towns there is an area a bit like The Scheme... Logie in Aberdeen... Sighthill/Pilton/Wester Hailes/Craigmillar in Edinburgh...Raploch in Stirling.....Abbeyview here in Dunfermline....Ferguslie Park in Paisley...etc.
Same in England too, every big place has its avoidable areas, usually with local authority housing.

Watched this for the first time last night. Profoundly depressing, except for a shot of the outside of Kilmarnock Sheriff Court, specifically the sign on the front, which Mrs 230TE and I found highly amusing:
Anyone else see what I'm seeing there?
Ha Ha, took a minute, very good!Anyone else see what I'm seeing there?
