There were gangs openly on every street corner looking menacingly at us in my bosses Audi maybe they were 'well jelous' of the car who knows?
It was certainly intimidating. All I know is that you should not feel like that in your own country, let alone any other.
The hotel itself was fine, good food and drink, the bedroom window was a bit drafty though.

Yes it's quite a shock for people further South when they travel to the North-West, most people are totally unaware what 18 years of Tory rule did, unemployment is a terrible thing.
The New Tories under Blair did a little to help but nowhere near enough to make up for all the previous damage.
Thankfully we have nothing left for the present Government to screw us for, now it is the turn of the affluent South to feel the wrath.
