| Comment | I grew up in EK and now live about five or six miles away and I very rarely return to socialise as most of my mates that I grew up with have moved elsewhere, but the grandparents still stay there so I can be up two or three times a week at the moment.
I was actually up on Sunday and my Dad took me and the wean to a park which was on a route I used to walk to school and it was fucking grim man, really cemented why I try and limit my time there.
It's like a lot of those towns outside big cities in that it's quite cliquey to a certain degree, there's not much to do and there's still plenty of losers that I used to go run about with that still live and socialise there.
It's a pretty big place but it feels really isolated to me now. I left when I was 24 to move to London and that was 12 years ago, so I just don't get that nostalgia that I maybe did at one point, I just find it all a bit grim and two or three visits a week, for a couple of hours or so is more than enough. |
