    Hi Joe. Wow. I really loved this. It's my dream to go to England (US) to see exactly what you're showing - visiting the small beautiful villages of your great country. I am so grateful. Thank you!!! Liked & Subscribed. Jen (I used to hate cheese, too. Now I love it. Keep trying', our tastebuds change.) 🧀

    WSM has been in decline since the 80's. It was a great place to be a young man due to the large number of pubs, clubs and girls! There are some large and very deprived housing estates in WSM and of course the crime that always goes with such places. In the last 30 years WSM has become a hotspot for drug rehabilitation centres, there is a lot of money in that business. Unfortunately lots of people either do not complete rehab or return to their old ways after they leave. Lots remain in WSM. This means that even in the middle of the day lots of jobless dodgy blokes from Manchester, Liverpool etc are wandering around often causing drunken trouble. The shopping area is awful and all the lowest denominator shops flourish; one-stop, pound shops, betting shops etc. At night these shops need to be avoided as there are always criminal types loitering at the alchohol shelves and a few old people wishing they were ANYWHERE else. The ocean is toxic and although the beach is wide and really sandy its foolish to wade thru the deep mud and its not worth it to swim WSM has always been crass and lacking anything resembling taste or culture. However, the countryside around the area is beautiful and accessible so living in one of the villages nearby is a better idea. Not BOS-a quiet but ugly little town. The Mendip villages are very nice but not for a teenager! Bristol is a reat little city.
