Good work mate, I moved out of Stoke 20+ years ago and moved to Plymouth but it's gone downhill in the last few years. Next stop New Zealand. I've had it with the UK.
Good luck on your adventures. I left SOT in mid 2000s, which included living in Shelton, Cobridge and other areas that get shown regularly here, and then emigrated to Aus about 10 years later. I have nothing but fond memories of those times and it saddens me greatly what has become of the old place, it was always poor and working class but even in areas like Shelton with a massive transient population, the people had pride in the area.
The last alley u went down is my street and back alley, i know mate its dreadful.. streets are relatively clean but the alleys are like that all year round
I remember once coming back home on the train from Birmingham New Street. Someone asked me where I was getting off. I said Stoke. They replied about how sorry they were. And that was in 1997! God knows what they'd say now. Now, whenever I have to explain where I grew up I say it was in Newcastle Under Lyme. Of course, they have rarely heard of the place and ask "Where's that?". I say "Near Stoke". You can probably imagine the looks I've got from people over the years whenever I've said that. Preston ain't paradise by any means, but it's nowhere near as bad as what's depicted here. Though I can see at 3:10 there's a branch in Stoke of the charity I volunteer at. Maybe next time I'm in town, I'll pop in and ask how they're doing. With the amount of appliances, furniture and mattresses I see dumped in alleys in your videos, it makes me wonder if they ever get any stock...
We are the biggest outdoor showroom of mattress and sofas in the uk 🤣😢I was in Spain last summer I was talking to someone from Hampshire when I told him I was from stoke his words were my god that place is a 💩🕳️I had to spend 4 days in stoke for work never again!
I’m constantly on my toes I must admit because I know a few folks have given knowing glances at the bike and they would have it off me in seconds given the chance. That’s why in some of my videos I kind of start talking about something then finish the conversation off 5 minutes later because im constantly alert to someone having it off
Shelton is very much like Normacot, just a complete mess. I really do like the videos you make, they are a real eye opener to the mess this city is in.
Has he? He’s a good guy him and st I need to find space in my diary to work with them but work schedule is all over the place has I’m self employed and can never plan to far ahead
@@DJMtv1938 Yes totally understand that! He said you are a 'good guy' as well! And the passion you both have for this subject matter in particular is undoubted! Thanks again DJ TV!!
@@DJMtv1938 I’m Sneyd Green born and bred mate , don’t know what part you’re from it’s unrecognisable now from when I grew up. I moved out as soon as I left home. Could see it going south but never saw it going this far. At a guess I’m not much younger than you. Such a shame.
I read today that the personal wealth of the Coates family (bet365 owners) is in the billions (Telegraph). They are self made people from Stoke who could fund some sort of re-generation. The terrace back to back is way past its sell by date, the whole lot in this video should be flattened and replaced with village type new builds, decent low energy designs which would be attractive to live in. If it was done properly it might work. As it is we will end up with third world communities where society ceases to function. Politicians should be ashamed.
It’s kind of ironic that one of the richest females in the country is from one of the poorest areas in the country. But yep totally agree with everything you have just said. 👍
Walked around a "newish" estate yesterday just up the road from me. Designs had been randomised to make it look like a village/ small town. Low traffic design. Worked really well, even on a drab cold day, can be done in UK with funding.
3 people uv spoken to on this vid iv spoken to them myself passing thru. Im not on drugs etc. Spoken to these people passing thru. They deserve a chance
Why when the same people causing this will be put in those houses? Its the people who have come to this country doing this to it and not the buildings. We have our own people causing issues with this so why should we be importing people from third world countries to do this too.
Good work mate, I moved out of Stoke 20+ years ago and moved to Plymouth but it's gone downhill in the last few years. Next stop New Zealand. I've had it with the UK.
Thank you my friend ❤️yep I agree the uk is finished I’m afraid 😞
Don't blame you 1 bit.

What a sad sorry state SOT has become. Definitely not the place it use to be.
Vile place

Well done for rescuing that wallet mate
Cheers mate I just hope not to much was taken 👍
Do you ever get scared when cycling around
?

That's the reason why I keep my important cards around my neck under my clothes
Welcome to the Bronx

Yes I think I know who you mean if it’s the same person we talking about 👍
What’s with the DJ name of you all ?
Can’t vouch for others but that’s the initials of my name 👍
@@DJMtv1938 just seems to be a common one for guys with cameras about the streets
Yep must admit 👍although some DJs are doing better than me from RUclips and are actually making a living from it 😢🤣👍
@@DJMtv1938 some of them are twats though
